Cons

"Inactive connections from servers, which are upgraded or downgraded within a VM, should be automatically revoked."

"It's a difficult product to navigate, it's complex."
"Network integration is very crucial, and you need to have the knowledge to get it done."
"There is a GUI, but it is not complete and lacks functionality that needs to be performed using the console."

"The integration with other systems could be improved."
"The solution could be improved in maintenance settings."
