This would help others have a better understanding of cyber security. Additionally, there can be more security features added."
"Microsoft wants its well-paying customers to finish testing some of its half-baked products, find bugs, and report bugs back to Microsoft's team, which is a little frustrating for those who have to manage it and roll it up to thousands of people across the organization."
"It would be better if it were more scalable. It depends on the architecture, but we would like to make it more scalable for both data centers."
