"There is a very small amount of downtime."
"In order to have to bypass the login using the website, a good feature for Perimeter 81 to have is a login instance in the Perimeter 81 application. I'm using a Mac and we don't have that functionality."
"What would be useful would be a notification/warning that a session is due to timeout after exceeding the default connection limit."
"In the future, maybe P81 can improve the network traffic balancing and redundancy."
"If I were to be nitpicky, I would ask that Perimeter 81 offer the option for us to change the color of the graphical user interface, like maybe pink or green or so on."
"I'd love to learn more about all of the features. Maybe a monthly spotlight of features or having a banner that explains more ways certain features could be used would be helpful."
"I have found that the log-in/out process takes quite some time."
"The platform still lacks relevant dashboards and the ability to customize them based on our needs."
