Cons
I think this is more of how poorly our company rolled this product out, but we are struggling to get through it.
TF

Tony F.

IT Manager

As with any new product there are bugs and errors. I have been frustrated at times with the newer software and sometimes even the more mature software can be frustrating.
BR

Ben R.

IT BI Analyst

Sometimes the layout of things was a little confusing or too cluttered for my taste. I would probably change the layout.
