"Sometimes, when you configure parameters the hardware can't run, it will get stuck at those points without telling you what happened. It would be helpful if the error reporting provided more details about why the test setting is not running. It would be nice if there were a space in the hardware module for you to add some external hardware for more rigorous testing.""The solution needs more ports, more speed, and more gigabytes.""I would also like to see updates on a more frequent schedule.""CyberFlood's accessibility and support for multiple browsers could be better."
