Cons
"The challenge lies not in what the tool can do but in how you use it and understand the data.""The solution can be improved by adding more automated options for reporting.""When it comes to customer support, we don't always reach the right person. Sometimes, we get junior-level reps who aren't as knowledgeable as we are.""If there were to be any improvements right now, their documentation needs to get in sync with their product."

More ibi WebFOCUS Cons →

"There is no automation or drag and drop functionality.""Enhancing user-friendliness would be highly beneficial.""Improvements are required in the hide and unhide functionality that falls under the layout container feature that has been used in my company in recent times.""They should offer the capability to directly access data from SaaS environments, as it would simplify the migration process, and while it may seem like a minor enhancement, it would be beneficial to our clients.""The user interface is old.""Error handling.""The solution is quite costly.""There is a challenge on the frontend when it comes to browsing data through QlikView, as it isn't entirely compatible with other platforms we use."
