"SAM's software-defined network monitoring capability is also low and could be improved."
"The product needs to reduce its price."
"They should incorporate more artificial intelligence. There should also be more predictive features."
"It lacks a user experience for measuring things like the end-to-end time for which a user waits for a specific response in the system. In the application layer, it has some very basic stuff. You have to build your own with manuscripts and things like that."
"In terms of the dashboards on offer, they should work to improve them. The types of dashboards that you get in terms of the graphs on offer aren't ideal right now."
"It would be helpful if the solution could integrate more with the security compliances, like this IDSS, etc."
