"The fault management is perfect."
"When a new version comes out, sometimes, my existing configuration gets wiped out. They should work on this so that my existing configuration doesn't get impacted with an upgrade to a newer version.

"It doesn’t give you performance metrics: You need CA eHealth for this."
