Makes it easy to monitor several devices automatically, but needs to improve support
We need to monitor all the services, one by one, for our clients, and every device has different security keys. There is no group to handle all the devices. It would be good if there were one group we could connect 100 devices to to monitor them. The same case. It would be good if security keys were common for all the devices.

A third-party migration tool that works well in Windows environments but needs improvement in Linux environments
Migration in RHEL and Linux environments can be improved. During RHEL migration with multiple data areas, you have to create a similar source environment at the destination. This can be challenging because you have to install it, create the VM, install over it, and mount it at the mount point. Only then can you do the migration. As a prerequisite in the case of a Windows platform, the .NET framework may cause some challenges as well. This can be done only in the latest version and is not possible in the earlier versions. We could do the migration for a customer with the older version but only after upgrading to the newer version of the .NET servers. This requires application downtime, and if the customer does not want any downtime during the migration, it can be very challenging. I would also like to see improvement in the data analytical loopholes in terms of Linux migration.
