"You can quickly deploy the entire product with a basic config within couple of hours."

"In future releases, I would like to see maybe more capabilities with some more modern authentication."
"CA has reporting at the moment. With the reporting, every particular segmented product has a reporting engine. I would like to see centralized reporting for all of them together."
