"One of the biggest challenges, which I see is that there's a constant evolution in the product. For example, our configuration is based on what is known as traditional data center implementation. Today there is the ACI deployment and to implement, to migrate from one technology to another, that's challenging both from a configuration perspective and also from a cost perspective."
"The installation process lasted too long, taking 16 to 24 hours for full completion."
"Its scalability can be better. If possible, it can have Hyper POE. I am not sure if there is a fiber version."
