Pros

One of the best kept secrets in enterprise software. The technology and software in some areas is up with the best, if not better.

Cons

Woeful strategic vision. Acquisition strategy has caused a lot of issues as there is non-existent due diligence to ensure that the technology portfolio actually works together, let alone works. Company resets their messaging and direction every 12 months so employees and clients have no clue what Software AG is really about anymore. The Board and CEO are uninspiring, and generally only want to be known in their local German market. They care little for other regions. As such, due to a restructuring following a COO departure, all other regions are directionless with the wrong people and attitudes driving their strategy. Sales mentality is based on early 2000's; sell anything and get the commission. There is NO cloud strategy, only words. The current "Digital Business" marketing is possibly the most infantile attempt to appear current to the analyst community, it's a hashtag list of phrases and words but little substance behind it. Even the company name is so generic it's now meaningless.
