Featured Reviews

Ramon David - PeerSpot reviewer
Easy to learn, offers ability to deploy rapidly, enabling changes to applications every two weeks
I would like to see improvements in versioning. It can be challenging to keep track of what changes should be committed, especially when many developers are working in one environment. So, I would like to see support for different version models especially when multiple developers are working on the same module, it can be confusing to know which changes need to be deployed when comparing and merging codes. In future releases, A built-in chart feature would be useful. We had to use Google Charts plugin for dashboards. Native support for charts, like bar and pie charts, would be beneficial.
