"In the next release, I would like to see them include more features like the Aruba solution, to have more possibilities concerning the software design."
"They should release more updates for the solution."
". There is room for improvement in pricing. One box shouldn't require additional installations. We need a package deal with licenses that are usable for different tasks. Right now, we need a license for every additional feature, which adds up."
"The solution lacks certain protocols and has a limited warranty."
"The quality of the service needs improvement."
