"We would like to improve the upgrade process in order to do mass upgrades to firewalls and to be able to upgrade target firewalls at the same time."

"Integration with other vendors is something that could be improved, they could add more vendors."
"The tool is expensive."
"They should improve their web interface to make it more user-friendly."
"It's great for VMware, but it would be good if they had third-party logins."
