Good monitoring, compliance, and reporting of remediation actions
The service is already top-notch; both on the commercial side and on the technical side. I had the luck to be put in contact with a very talented and skilled technical after-sales team that guided us step by step through the configurations. Also, the commercial team was very comprehensive with our situation and allowed us to create a package that best fit our needs. One feature of the product that I would like to enhance is the possibility to connect to vulnerability management platforms so that the issues that emerge from the scans can then be ingested directly into the vulnerability management process. It would be very nice to provide, on top of API connections, built-in plugins for the major ticketing systems.

"The reporting against compliance is an important feature that helps you comply with policies and standards within your organization."
"The most valuable feature is the separate environment."
"The ability to integrate it with Microsoft Azure Sentinel allows us to validate the logs in an even more complex and meaningful way."
"The administration portal panel is very intuitive."
"The ability to drill down to individual hosts on an account and see which ones are affected is valuable."

Cons

"The reporting dashboard responds slowly, which leads to late report compilation."
"The price of this solution should be reduced so that it is more affordable to scale."
"I would like them to include support for their products in languages other than English."

They only assume that by having a cloud, the provider must ensure safety, when the truth is that the providers only secure their sites. Everything we do in the cloud and how we configure it is actually our responsibility."
