"I do not have any suggestions for improvements at this time."
"Maybe they are common in Egypt, but you should make a request on Amazon to create a function to monitor CPU performance, memory, and files. It is very difficult in AWS. I would tell them it should be simple, just drag and drop. I think they could develop this option so we can drag and drop to monitor performance of the processor and memory."
"Security is a concern but they're working on it."
"The pricing is room for improvement."
"The solution's stability could be better."
"Adding items to Azure Search using its .NET APIs sometimes throws exceptions."
"It would be good if the site found a better way to filter things based on subscription."

"The initial setup is not as easy as it should be."
"For availability, expanding its use to all Azure datacenters would be helpful in increasing awareness and usage of the product."
