"While the desktop app is good, they could slightly improve it. We would like it to be a single pane of glass. At the moment, you can only see certain portions of information. You have to scroll through to make it more granular. We want them to develop the desktop app to be more user-friendly."
"The inventory of the device should be improved."
"I would like the ability to monitor Cisco IRS devices."
"I would like to see them take their graphing tools and convert them into a collector so that we can point telemetry to them"
