"The customizability of the UI should improve."
"The initial setup was straightforward but required a lot of data entry, to begin with building out the server types and network types."
"It's a good solid solution but integration with Network Access Control products with Cisco ISE would be good."

"Improved documentation and more responsive customer support can help in addressing issues faster."
