"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"Technical support for this product is not so good. It needs improvement."
"For us, the implementation was quite complex but it's because of the large number of different environments we're dealing with."

"If the integration is simplified or improved, it will be a unique selling point in comparison to the competition on the market."
"It takes some time to learn how to use this solution."
"Huawei devices are not properly supported, and there are incompatibility issues related to certain protocols."
"There should be a facility to integrate with other monitoring applications that are currently running in the environment."
"OS monitoring needs to be better developed, as well as their services, e.g., cluster monitoring, URLs, etc."
"The solution's automation has room for improvement."
"I would like to see the saving feature improved. We have had issues if you do not save your progress then you have to start from the beginning."
"I would like to see the tool work in an open environment the same as how it does in a closed environment."
"I don't see a clear roadmap in the future for improving this software."
"Making it more clear on how to configure the filters, or really automating them, would be an improvement."
