    A user-friendly forensic toolkit with many valuable features
    I think processing could be better. It really takes a lot of space, and it's very expensive to deploy. It needs a lot of resources. I also think if it can be cheaper. We can use more, but we don't right now because it's expensive. Maybe in the future, it can also extract data from mobile phones.

    Helps with GDPR compliance through data discovery and management
    We knew that we have a lot of scanned docs inside our repositories, but there was a big issue where we needed to know which content was really an image. Because of the OCR made at runtime during the scan, now we know exactly the data we have. When you have zipped documents the scan will unzip them and find the data inside.
