And unfortunately, I cannot upgrade from v one to v two like other services. So I have to decommission the version one and create a new one with version two. Also the version one was complex with the certificates uploading the SQL certificates."

"It could be easier to change servicing."
"The tool's pricing could be improved."
"It is a bit tricky to configure. You've got to have a very specific format to configure it. They should make it a little bit easier to configure.
