"DX Spectrum needs to incorporate faster support."
"I would suggest improving the web GUI to improve the device monitor configuration and to improve or to integrate the new tool for reporting."

"A mobile app would be awesome."
"From our perspective, we would love to see Aerohive provide faster feature enhancement in their Virtual Appliance to match the features with the cloud solution more quickly."
"For me, the only issue is the potential delay in the tool statistics updating in real time after making changes."
