Designs subnets with high security while navigating evolving integration processes

Cons

"It isn't stabilized on the first day, and you need to set up the channels properly."
"Microsoft could work on having micro VPNs to integrate with mobile devices."
"The marketing material in the portal is not very user-friendly."

"The product must provide a single sign-on."
