It would be better if they developed a better endpoint solution in the next release.""The user interface could be more convenient for people that don't know the tool too intensively."

"Less server consumption would help, as would better, more flexible reports.""In Microsoft System Center, it is difficult to follow the steps to create dataflows at times.""The platform's performance could be improved. Additionally, its UI needs to be well-upgraded and work faster.""The platform performance and responsiveness need improvement. It still demands high computing resources.""The multi-tenancy support needs to be improved. We need to have the ability to manage several different environments from one central point of administration.""They should have some customized solutions or internal development, then maybe it could be easier to use different solutions or some self-developed solution.""We have some bugs but it's stable. It doesn't break every day. It works. Like other applications, it has a lot of bugs but they're manageable.""The solution's dashboard needs improvement."
