There are many gaps in reporting and insights. MDOs do not have the fields that we are looking for
No triggers to time based data collection by operators
No ability to track the status of data collections
No good way to use the back up resources

Return on Investment

As it is cloud based product, quarterly upgrades impacts the production and needs effort and resources for testing
