"The setup is fairly complex. The deployment took around two months."
"It would be helpful if they could send emails notifying their users about the recommended upgraded versions to address the newly discovered vulnerabilities."
"The initial setup needs improvement, as it was a bit challenging."

"They need to build in a central console because central integration is not very good right now."
