Provides valuable real-time data scanning for vulnerability assessment
We don't know if Kali Linux has the port scanning capability yet, but that is an area of improvement because we are working with DMZ zones and customized ports. If we can add featured customized port scanning and DMZ zone capability, then it will be a very great tool. It might be there, but we are not exploring it yet. We are not exploring 100% of Kali Linux capabilities. If real-time customized port scanning can be added, for example, instead of a default port such as 8080 or 443, if we can use a customized port such as 9876, that capability would be great. The only point that I didn't find on Kali Linux for now is the ability to customize port scanning.

Enables user-friendly workflow automation and provides efficient real-time execution logging
The low-code interface and the quick code writing within n8n that we can do and utilize is very helpful. It is very evolving at this point in time and very user-friendly. It brings in efficiency, better time to market, and actually helps us. Since we have hardcore developers in our team who use n8n, it becomes straightforward for them to quickly wrap up some modules from the front end and then connect them and use it quickly for different sorts of integrations. In terms of real-time execution logs, when we are running and debugging any process within n8n, this really helps us in figuring out if there is a problem within different modules. It provides the flexibility of pinning down the problem to the micro level, which is a really good benefit.
