"Connectivity could be improved in Microsoft Azure VPN Gateway because it's not as stable, particularly when connecting a device tunnel.""Make it completely routable, for example, if I have a gateway, I should be able to connect to whatever network I want on either side of the gateway, and the gateway should figure out which packet goes where.""In future releases, I would like to see the ability to inject BGP routes.""It isn't stabilized on the first day, and you need to set up the channels properly.""The solution must provide metrics to monitor the inbound and outbound traffic easily.""Their technical support could be better. If you don't have a support contract, it takes longer.""The product must provide a single sign-on.""In the next release, Microsoft should add an option to schedule upgrades."
