"The Layers feature organizes my work and makes it easier, instead of having to use scripting to show and hide when drilling down."

"Lacks sufficient online support."
"I would love to see more functions built in inside the application, instead of being scripted. They already did some of that in the new release, version 5, like forecasting, trend lines, etc., and I would love to see more of these kinds of calculations, which we used to do it by scripts before."
"I cannot select a visualization and see what filters are connected to it."
"It would be helpful if Dundas made the UI more user-friendly like the leading tools and decreased the learning curve. It should be simpler for a beginner to build dashboards."

"The price point is one of the major areas to be improved."
"They should include proper documentation to learn more about the product."
