"The product's self-service capabilities have benefited our organization."
"Unit4 Business World is a reliable product."

"The Purchase to Pay process could benefit from further sophistication and additional functionality. It would be helpful for the user community to receive clearer information about the future roadmap of the business.

Therefore, more clarity is needed in the support function to address this."
"I would like to see more flexibility in the customization for us to be able to customize it based on the client's requirements."
