There is room for improvement in the developer experience, particularly for those who are SQL proficient, as having more direct access would be beneficial.

They need to make the workflow more enhanced or dynamic in its functionality. That was the tiebreaker between Profisee and Semarchy - the client had a SQL server development environment and they could do a lot of stuff using the SQL server SDK to do complicated dynamic workflows.

I almost don't want to even say that that would be room for improvement, as I know that they're working. They may have already solved it. They could put a little bit more energy into out-of-the-box reporting. That was one of the things that I saw in Profisee that wasn't even really marketed that much. I wasn't even looking to their reporting features until I implemented it. At that point, I was like, "Oh my gosh, look at all this out-of-the-box data quality reporting that's going on! I don't have to necessarily go out and build all these reports from scratch." I was pleasantly surprised to see that in Profisee. I don't know that Semarchy has put the energy into that. They may have, but it certainly not to the extent that the other solution did.
