There are always some limitations, but as a technologist, I just live with them, and there is always room for improvement, but I don't have anything quantifiable."
"The upload speed needs improvement."
"If there was a plugin that added some sort of toolbar in Office, that would be great."

They charge business people, not nonprofit institutions."
"There is potential for it to offer even more features such as compliance reporting and device management."
"The program's UI could be faster."
