"Power packs."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."

"The solution's stability needs improvement."
"For my use case, incident coordination was an area of improvement. The internal software engine for coordinating outages could use improvement because sometimes, we used to get false alerts for unrelated devices. They did a really good job of trying to make sure that you got one major alert and any of the subsequent devices downstream were just additions to that, but occasionally, the engine wouldn't properly catch the right things, and we used to get a flood of alerts."
"Our consultant was four months on-site doing Spectrum setup and working through issues."
"The interface is not nice and needs to be improved."
"Its visualization can be improved. It doesn't have a very advanced GUI. It is very basic and simple, but it does work."

"The CA Technologies sales team destroyed their relationship with our business units."
"One important area we feel could be improved is the UI. It takes a lot of clicks to do very simple tasks."

"It was challenging onboarding users."
"Addressing duplicate IPs: There is the ability to edit the DB and fix this, but adding some logic to understand them would be a plus."
"They need a little more self-service."
"I would like to see out-of-the-box standard dashboards for common services."
"ScienceLogic should provide detailed documents to customer as the current documents are not sufficient."
"There are often bugs in new releases."
