"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."

"The cloud management and automation capability could be improved."
"The platform's interface could improve."

"I think the only issue that needs improvement is the interface."
"The cloud features and integration could be improved."
"Multi-factor authentication would have been a plus in security at the time."

"The product fails to offer protection when dealing with high-severity vulnerabilities, making it an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The free version does not have real-time updates. It is slow."
"In the future, I would like to see more automation in the reporting."
