"The solution scales well."
"The way that the solution scans is very useful."
"The most valuable feature is its ability to extract metadata from various sources- be it an old SaaS application or the latest cloud application."

"There is room for improvement in the solution's visualization tool."
"They should build a functional architecture based on queuing."
"It is not easy to set up and configure the tool."
"The model is somewhat flexible. There are certain aspects of the model that are not as flexible as we would like. It doesn't do certain things to a great level of depth. So, in situations where we want to drill in to do something specific, we have to essentially copy that data into our own structures in order to add that additional layer of flexibility."
"They have to improve their relationship discovery tool. They say that they have AI inside, but this AI did not automatically find relationships or suggested relationships between entities."
