"Notifications and monitoring are two areas with shortcomings in the solution that need improvement."

"Currently, the main integration is SAML-based, but other integration methodologies need to be supported."
"I would like to see included in the next release of Venafi integration with the cloud HSM's, Hardware Security Module.
