Do you have any input regarding that?
Yes, it is a possibility there may be bugs in the program that are found further down the road. This is true for ALL software. However, it is "generally" less likely to happen in an off the shelf product.

As far as upgrades and adding things you need, you are at the mercy of the company. If you have something that only you will need they most likely will have no interest in adding it. Even if they do add something who knows if it will be exactly what you need or how long it will take or when they get around to it.
