"When it comes to the performance of this solution others are slightly better such as Linux."
"Rebooting is sometimes required to resolve issues, although we don't know the root cause."

"If it had more integration capabilities, that would be ideal."
"I would definitely like to see bolting monitoring tools. To monitor the server you usually have to install third party tools. I would like to be less reliant on third-party tools.
