Pros / Cons
- We can tailor it to fit our business, which does a lot of governmental logins and emails, and we were able to make all the adjustments needed for a seamless experience
- The only con I have ran into is the user VPN setup. If I wanted to change a user's password, I would need to change it via the App Manager.
