In the next release, we need to have a modular feature. Instead of providing an integrated solution, they should go for something modular. They need to come up with modular highly scalable models. Even at the chassis layer, I want to see some improvement."
"The solution’s pricing could be better."
"The solution needs to improve their product range."
"The product fails to offer functions related to cloud orchestration, making it in areas where improvements are required."

"The CVP management platform needs to be improved."
"Some follow up from our user-partners would be useful. Letting users know what is up and coming or providing better documentation would be helpful. Overall, the solution could offer its users better support."
