"The most difficult part is the configuration of the initial blueprints."
"For customers who are running Nutanix Flow and AHV, the largest area for improvement is in the disaster recovery environments. To automate the populate of rules from one side to the other side in case of disaster you report everything on the disaster recovery site, and you have all the rules automatically applied. This was something that was being built when I left Nutanix. It might already be available. Additionally, the usability of the rules editor could improve."
"I would rate Flow Network Security's stability seven out of ten - it could be improved."
"The documentation offered by the product is an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
