"They need to have a single sign-on."
"We've been working with BMC support in various ways such as to allow for the high-availability components to the TSIMs to work together. There have been issues there. We've seen randomness in how other pieces of the software work. Integration with the Presentation Server and the TSIMs has been a challenge. The ports that are required for HA to be utilized were not clearly documented anywhere. In fact, they still aren't documented online anywhere, even though we managed to pull it out of some of their support people."
"It is tedious to scale the solution."
"I believe there could be new features in terms of the latest technology."
"I'd like to be able to get more devices into compliance with standards, but that means running additional rule sets and that takes time."
"For customized compliance, it takes some effort to implement things. If the device configuration is quite complex, then you have to do quite number of customizations in the DNA tool for out-of-the-box compliance. These regular expressions have to be modified based on the requirements of the compliance."
"BMC TrueSight Network Automation can improve by having a better UI. The overall quality of the UI could be better."
"I would like to see more device supported features, mostly on the new brands and models coming in. For any new version or model, it should be supported by the tool, especially the newest versions. For example, the newest devices, like Aruba Wireless, and routers need support from the tool."
"The areas that need improvement are implemenation and support. In terms of implementation, it mainly needs clear documentation."
"There are a lot of bugs that need to be fixed, for example, the ZTP."
"Issues arise when customers experience unstable electricity or poor grounding conditions."

"Troubleshooting for Fortinet products is more difficult than competing products like Cisco and Palo Alto."
"Can be difficult to configure."
"The scalability has room for improvement."
"When we have a specific configuration pushed it does take some time to be deployed on the actual firewall."
