"Network visibility is something that needs to be improved.""I would improve the Rule-Based Access Control (RBAC) by providing granular access control to the data.""This solution would be improved if it had the ability to retain data longer.""They either have to go broad or decide what their bread and butter is and get really good at that.""We'd like to see a local presence within the region in order to have seamless service whether it's the support, the implementation, or professional services.""They have a new solution, ExtraHop Reveal(x), and I think it needs improvement."
