I would have to say that "More Functionality" is in the eye of the
beholder. If you can do all your work, that which is needed for
Business, then you are not missing any functionality.

We tend to approach networks with the idea that you (employees) have no
natural rights, not right to Internet access, no right to install
anything on COMPANY computers, no right to check your personal email,
etc...

Yea, that approach often ticks off the "ME" generation, but, in all
these years we've never had a compromised network, and the networks that
cater to the "ME" generation are compromised frequently.
