"The tool's customer service should improve."
"Pricing is a bit expensive."

"Their firewall configuration gets funky and it can be difficult to understand."
"Browser load time for the cloud is long and needs improvement."
"I would like to see more security features such as NAC integrated to the solution. This would allow customers to be able to control all other users under one dashboard."
"ExtremeCloud should invest in an SD-WAN solution or integration with SD-WAN."
"Need port aggregation on the 2384 switches to take full advantage of ac on the APs. I understand that is on their product road map."
