    Cons
    Acoustic
    • The organization of the application is poor and some elements could be more easily accessible not buried in menus.
    • There is little to no community around the application and what does exist is out of date.
    • Does not work well with our IBM applications as well as you would expect, which seems a common issue with IBM products.
