"The user interface could be more inviting."
"With the lower-end licenses, it tends to kick you out after eight hours. There is a function where it automatically kicks you out after eight hours. They could improve that and not kick you out after eight hours. Other than that, it is already pretty good."
"It would be extremely useful to have an automatic updating feature."

"It should offer better security updates."
"The solution is expensive, and it could be made cheaper."
"The solution is heavy in the usage of resources, you can notice the performance decrease. This should prove in the future."
"They need to focus on their SLA or technical support. They also need to focus on their UI. They should also improve their content filtering tool and update it so that correct categories are there. Sometimes, when I want to block an online gaming website, it is not shown under the correct category. It is shown under another category. They need to review their content filtering tool on a bi-weekly or monthly basis and update the sites and categories. This will be really helpful for them."
