"The cost of the solution should be reduced."
"The solution needs to improve test recognition."
"Amazon S3 could improve the limitation on how much data can be stored."

"Amazon S3 Glacier's data retrieval time is slow compared to other AWS storage services and should be improved."
"They can improve data discovery."
"One of the biggest challenges on Azure infrastructure is that sometimes we don't get what we want. Either we have to wait for it or contact support because something is not working for us... It's the system availability that is the difficult point."
"If the documentation could be improved then it would be very good. Right now, if you face a question, you have to guess how it works or you have to test your hypothesis."
"Some big customers have experienced some problems with the stability of the Azure cloud."
"I would like for the next release to replace the CDN being used for content delivery, there is currently a rather long delay."
"There are capacity limitations that could be expanded."
