"If the system could directly download and update, that would be much easier. It could be more automated."
"The pricing needs to be more clear and licensing could be less expensive."
"Its pricing and licensing can be improved. Its UI can also be more user-friendly. Currently, in the Unleashed mode, the information that you have about the switches that you add to the controller is quite limited. I would like more information regarding switches. In this mode, an access point acts as a controller, so you don't need a controller. It is for deployments with less than 125 access points, and you can use an access point as a controller."
"The solution isn't the cheapest option. However, you are getting a quality product."
"The solution should have more analytics capabilities."
"The biggest adjustment improvement will come from a price adjustment because the price is quite high; it feels like premium pricing. I suggest shaving off 10 percent to 20 percent. That would help grow users and increase the number of clients."
"The delivery time of the hardware needs to be improved."
