The product and customer service is extremely efficient but I would like to see more research and code examples.
* The continuous online scanning capabilities and reporting features. * The SaaS product features accessible from a browser make managing our online systems easy. * The ability to review security items quickly along with being able to retest vulnerabilities on our schedule make the Sentinel product an invaluable tool for our company’s product security requirements.

Vulnerability visibility has improved across microservices but integration still needs refinement
StackHawk can be improved in the way that it is integrated, as at the very beginning, the idea was to, within the pipeline, mount the different resources that our microservices needed to start to run. For example, if we have a service that needed Redis, maybe Kafka, or a database to initialize, we did need to have a Docker Compose file, get up those services, and after that, do the analysis. It didn't have that; it wasn't reachable at the very beginning and it wasn't that good as we expected. But at some point, we decided to mount it as an agent in the Docker file, and it was waiting for new jobs. It was even better, and when we figured out how to integrate it within our EKS cluster, suddenly we started reaching to the services, knowing what was going on, and everything related to security. As long as we have a P2T to our QA site or cluster, we do not have garbage in our databases, but StackHawk does put a little information, a garbage information, doing their job. That's the main area I'm focusing on right now regarding needed improvements.
