Complex setup process impacts functionality and requires improvement
From my experience as a VP of sales, I was not involved directly with development and configuration, but every time I need some change in our strategy and data, it takes a lot of time from our development team or technical team to implement this change. It is not easy to add columns or information in the reports or in the information that I gathered from Data Cloud. It takes a lot of time, and it was not exactly what I was expecting. I had a project that required changing the views that I need from my team, and it took two to three months to make the change. It was just a simple click of a button and adding some information, so what I was expecting to take one or two weeks took three months. It was very complicated to implement in the beginning, and it took a lot of time. It is a very good product, but it is very complex to implement, change, develop, and integrate.

A CRM with strong reporting features that we use across several departments at my organization
We used to face downtime, in which some of our other platforms had issues synchronizing with Sage. I don't know whether it's an API or design issue somewhere, but there are these interfacing issues where systems sometimes don't talk to each other. Other than that, I would like Sage to improve their UI.
