"The solution lacks certain protocols and has a limited warranty."
"I would like to see the initial setup become easier."
"In the Israeli market, we are in need of Hebrew support."
"The initial setup can be a bit difficult. The configuration can take a lot of time."
"As far as improvements, there are basically only two things I would suggest. First, I think they should provide extensive training for the new releases of products, especially in the LTE space. Second, they could spend more time ensuring that their OS releases are more stable, rather than waiting for things to fall apart on the customer's premises before they make the necessary changes."
"A central management platform would be great."
"The solution does suffer from freezing and corruption issues."
"The ports could be improved, as certain areas may need to be terminated with a greater number of Ethernet ports.
