If that became part of the product, I think it might be a little bit less intensive in terms of resource, because we're doing it with scripts."
"I think it can be improved by a greater provision of specialized technical support, as there are very few trained personnel there."

"The technical support is variable - sometimes I get answers, but most of my tickets go unanswered."
"It can be quite difficult to know which drivers and agents to use when setting up."
"The Configuration Wizard needs improvement, because not all vendors are present."
"There's room for improvement in the visibility, and in the ability to extract information. Stuff like this should be more simple."
"The pricing has recently risen. I know they've changed what is covered under the license, however, it doesn't change the way we use it and adds nothing to our experience, and yet we now have to pay more."
"Improve the documentation, examples, and best practices, therefore users can understand how to do things."
