Rene Schouten. - PeerSpot reviewer
Harnesses anomaly detection and automated response for efficient threat management
I really appreciate the anomaly detection and machine learning capabilities that identify unusual patterns without needing signatures.

It is also cost-effective, charged based on use per second rather than data volume. Additionally, the solution supports annual audits and ensures compliance.
