"It has a data domain where we load our data objects onto the tool but doesn't provide data governance capabilities such as cleansing or validating data."

"The initial setup can be quite complex at first."
"We would like to see integration with other products, such as being able to use our workflow with SharePoint and Microsoft Office."
"In my experience, I've encountered difficulties with consuming custom packages in MEGA HOPEX, which leads to redundant work when deploying them to production. This is an area where improvement is needed. While version six offers better UI and UX, resolving this issue should be a priority. I believe it's important to fully explore MEGA HOPEX's capabilities before suggesting new ones."
"The tool usability is weak and it also has a high learning curve."

"Solution could use more inbuilt applications."
"The ticket handling process could be improved."
"I would like to see real-time data, from vulnerabilities, and threats."
"It's resource-hungry, that's the best way of putting it."
"Its customization features could be better."
"I would like to have the ability to build and maintain an inventory of personal data processing activities and assets utilizing a purpose-built taxonomy and data structure."
"Archer could be improved by having more customization. I'm not sure if the backend processes have API calls and those kinds of seamless integrations, but from the front, some of the solutions are very out-of-the-box. It's not customizable, so that could be a little problematic since you have to use their features. In terms of the backend structure, I'm not too sure because I'm not a developer—I was an end user and product owner of Archer—and I don't quite know the backend and developmental features. But since it's an out-of-the-box solution, sometimes customization was challenging and support was a little problematic because we had to reach out to them all the time."
