"The solution has a valuable reporting feature."

"The product needs to improve its support. I know a case that dragged on for about one and a half years. They eventually suggested professional services and closed the ticket.

After reopening the case, it's been about six months, and the problem still hasn't been resolved."

"The solution's customer support is bad and should be improved."
"The installation is not secure because it takes high admin privileges."
