With Kali Linux, you can conduct penetration testing for networks, web applications, and Android mobile apps."
"The most valuable feature of Kali Linux is the attack it performs using a CVE script that's already on the internet."
"Additionally, it now includes comprehensive migration analytics and reporting capabilities."
"Kali Linux is much better than other OS because it gives you a good set of tools. It is preferred for vulnerability assessments and cybersecurity."
"The tools available in Kali Linux are incredibly effective for conducting security assessments."
"I'm mostly using for the web security web application, so end map and the troubleshoot will it's my price, and it's available in ColliNX."
"The solution's stability is very good."
"We use the product for open-source intelligence and identifying vulnerabilities."
"We've found the scalability to be good."
"The solution is easy to use."
"It is familiar and mature and runs the most popular productivity tools."
"I have found Windows 10 much better than the previous versions. It performs well, is easy to use, and is easy to use for new users."
"It's very straightforward. There is virtually no learning curve at all."
"The solution is stable."
"We are satisfied with this operating system."
"The solution is easy to use and secure."
"The product should integrate AI and GPT capabilities."
"The installation process of Kali Linux can be slow, particularly when installing and upgrading packages within virtualized environments."
"From an improvement perspective, Kali Linux could include more ML to help with academic literature, as it is one of the areas where there are shortcomings in the solution."
"I would like to have automation in Kali Linux instead of manually configuring or setting up something in case of an upgrade."
"I would like for them to offer more features for the free version in order for users to test them in their internal environment before purchasing."
"There can be some lagging issues because the product gets stuck at times, making it an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The product should improve its security features."

"The solution can improve by making it more private and allowing users to know what operations are going on in the background code."
"Sometimes it can be resource-hungry."
"While we have patches on a monthly basis, the solution could be more secure."
"Like all Windows products or like all the Microsoft products, like Office, it's priced a bit on the higher side."
"If the desktop version could be a little bit more like the mobile application, that would be great. It's just easier to navigate."
"When there are updates, the system should automatically identify and remove any unnecessary previous features that are no longer needed, ensuring that they don't take up space on the storage media during this period."
"The only thing which concerns me is updates. It gets updated often. Sometimes, however, it automatically gets updated. That is an issue. It can happen when you do not want it to be done. It's possible it can start and your files are not saved. They may be open while your laptop enters sleep mode. Then, when you re-open the computer to continue work, it all of a sudden decides to update, destroying your work."
"This solution is good enough, but Windows is always playing catch-up when it comes to development. An improvement I would like to see is in Windows updates. They don't seem to test the updates."
