"Its technical support is excellent."
"The product is scalable. It has 20 users."

"The tool needs to enhance its security features."
"They could provide a centralized system to manage switches incorporated into multiple branches."

"The tool is priced high."
"While it is mostly scalable, there are some limitations."
