"They should have a local vendor who can provide support. Most of the support is overseas, so the time zones can be a problem."

"We are thinking about how to make customers consolidate the loads to an SD-WAN network so that the customers can have bigger chunk from the SD-WAN side so that customers can have critical data be transferred with NPS VPN and non-critical data or some labeled traffic can be transferred by the SD-WAN network. I think it's a very important direction for digital transformation."
"The solution's current customer support is not that good. So, they need to improve that. Also, the solution's UI is quite complex, so they need to simplify it."
"The UTM features can be improved. It should offer better functionality."
"The security should be improved."
"The VPN feature is relatively new. It came out two releases ago, and they're still fixing that up."
