"In my organization, there aren't Linux users, however, I know it has difficulties offering secure access for customers who use this operating system."
"We would like to implement HTML5 (clientless access) in the product without installing any additional software."
"When you need to create something, you have to follow many steps and I think that should be simplified."
"The cost of maintenance is high compared to most products in the market."
"The SharePoint SSO part has some room for improvement."
"Fixing bugs."
"The solution's hardware quality needs improvement."
"If they made it easier for engineers to get F5 training then it would be better."
"Implementing whitepapers with a lot more applications could easily be added."
"Technical support is somewhat slow and could be improved."

"Technical support could be faster. It's something I'd like to see them work on in the future."
