"The MAS integration for HDX Insight has provided teams with significant visibility into network performance of the user's connection."
"My clients use it for load balancing."
"Helped us a lot with load balancing."

"In every release - and it doesn't matter if it's a minor release or a major release - they keep moving things around and they keep changing the mechanism. So certain things can work in one version one way, and everything works really well, then when you upgrade it to the next version, it breaks everything because they have a new way of doing it."
"The tool needs to add a feature where we can access the network policy access manager."
