"The solution's dashboard needs improvement."
"Could be more user friendly."
"Something super important that we need is this integration via Intune Configuration Manager."
"Most of the documentation is online, however, there are some gaps there. The product documentation still refers back to the 2012 Server. We're pretty much in 2022. There's a ten-year gap there."
"In Microsoft System Center, it is difficult to follow the steps to create dataflows at times."
"Implementation and integration in the case of multi-tenant environments needs improvement."
"The platform performance and responsiveness need improvement. It still demands high computing resources."

"It would be good if NGINX provided a graphical user interface."
"Only improvement needed that I would point to is scalability. With it, I mean clusterized organisation on a low level. At the moment, the best alternative is RHEL HA."
