Weaknesses:
It is not always obvious which report will provide the information you are looking for.
What feature would you add if you had the choice?
N/A
Support or implementation:
Implementation from version 7.x to version 9.x was very smooth. The support staff was accessible and knowledgeable with questions that arose during implementation and with ongoing support questions.
