The complexity of versions in Adonis Platform depends on how complicated they are. If you create a simple flow, it is easy, but you can create flows with swimlanes and quite tricky options, and then it can become very large and very complicated. For simple tasks or for simple processes from operations, it is easy. Something that I miss in Adonis Platform is that we do not have a way to see who made changes. You can only see if you change the versions; you can see the older version, but you cannot see the history. Maybe if I work on Monday and I make some changes there, I can see the results today, but I cannot see the steps in between, the history. I miss the history. We also have an issue that we would really like to use AI, but it is a little bit difficult because we do not want to have all our processes available for external AI. So we have to create an internal AI, and I do not know if we are going to do it because this might be very expensive. I wish it would be easier for Adonis Platform to have some AI integrated. Also, the concept of rights is very difficult because everybody can access Adonis Platform, but only in a view-only mode. It is a very complicated process with ordering your rights for Adonis Platform because there are many different departments using Adonis Platform and they do not want everybody to be able to change their processes. So we have a rights concept for Adonis Platform, and it is quite complicated. The user permissions are very complicated and annoying. Overall I am satisfied with Adonis Platform, but it takes a while until you learn how it works. There are many questions from colleagues about how it works, what you can do, and what things mean. There is quite a lot of training necessary. I still think that AI would be a great contribution for Adonis Platform. For example, if you could tell AI to build you a process in BPMN style for whatever process, and AI would do it automatically, that would be perfect, but currently we are still doing it manually.
Centralized security has protected hybrid workloads and provides deep visibility into cloud traffic
Cloud-native automation and IaC: Terraform support, auto-scaling templates, and API maturity lag behind Palo Alto VM-Series and FortiGate-VM. Dynamically scaling in public cloud requires more manual effort. Third-party integrations and ecosystem: fewer native connectors with SIEM/SOAR platforms, CSPM, and third-party tools compared to market leaders. Documentation and training material: technical documentation and community resources (forums, tutorials, KB) are more limited, which lengthens the learning curve for new teams. SASE/SSE capabilities: the integrated SASE/ZTNA offering is less mature compared to the convergence already provided by Fortinet or Palo Alto. Centralized multi-instance management: managing large fleets of virtual appliances could be smoother; centralized management (HSM) works, but some users would like more granularity and automation.
