Nowadays, other methods are easier to work with.""The one thing that is lacking is easy visibility. It's hard to provide business users with a view into the statuses of their transactions.""They do not have a solid partner ecosystem, and they do not have a clear roadmap for down the line; they're missing that clear roadmap.""API-Fication required, and there should be more clarity on their cloud migration strategy."
