Integration capabilities streamline management but automation and GUI need improvements
While it's a good feature, it needs some improvement. Different patch manager competitors have functionality with AI inside, so if that could be integrated, it would be much easier for the end-user to manage it. We have not started using remote patching; it's only on-premises. The GUI needs improvement, which would make it better for users. With the integration with the SIEM solution, there are some glitches, and if we need to integrate with multiple vulnerability management systems, it does not provide such support. We need to opt for one vulnerability engine, for example, either Rapid7 integration or CrowdStrike integration.
