"The data tagging feature needs improvement. The solution could be a bit more intuitive in certain aspects."

Reporting is too weak in DPM."

"They could improve the interface a bit."
"It is not easy because I have worked a lot on the tool, and in case it gets corrupted at any point, it is not easy to restore the data without losing information is not easy."
