"I use the tool with Nmap to perform network audits. We use it to find vulnerabilities in our network through attacks. It's for those who want to launch or create viruses or perform attacks on systems. With Kali Linux, you can conduct penetration testing for networks, web applications, and Android mobile apps."
"I'm mostly using for the web security web application, so end map and the troubleshoot will it's my price, and it's available in ColliNX."

"I would like to have automation in Kali Linux instead of manually configuring or setting up something in case of an upgrade."

"Windows 10 could be improved with faster upgrades. I know they already made changes to the next version, so maybe I have to upgrade first and then check whatever I think was missing. Apart from that, I haven't really had any issues."
"In the next release, I would like it to improve regarding stability plus performance."
"They could really improve or clarify user account types and stuff. I help people with their Microsoft Windows 10 installations and setups. A lot of times, I pre-configure devices for them, and it is a pain to switch the user so that it shows them as the owner when I've done the initial setup. I have found some workarounds for that, but user management on it outside of a domain is somewhat cumbersome. They probably expected that one person is going to be the management and owner of it, and they seem to have built it that way, but third parties like us, who help friends and family with their setups, can sometimes run into some headaches while trying to help people without having our data loaded over to the machine with the synchronization. Microsoft has a tendency to try and put too much into what is supposed to be just an operating system. I would rather have choices and pick what I want to include. They sometimes cram too much in there."
"There is a lot of preloaded information on Windows 10, that impacts the memory position."
"The pricing could always be improved."
"Like all Windows products or like all the Microsoft products, like Office, it's priced a bit on the higher side."
"It could benefit from more integration."
"I would like to see hardware resource monitoring features in the tool's next release."
