SAP can provide better support for cross-database replication to newer technologies. The product supports Oracle, but I am not aware of what other technologies it supports.

It is currently the direction everyone is interested in. We are still primarily interested in PCs, where every dashboard and every interaction occurs. We have seen that 90% of people are using smartphones. The interface is adopted to the mobile where it is easily accessible.

The price could be cheaper. There is room for improvement in terms of pricing and faster support.
