It also needs to improve its scalability.""The Linux compatibility of this solution could be improved.""I expect usability features to become more refined over time. I'm interested to see how it evolves and continues to improve.""There is room for improvement with the introduction of AI functionality.""An improvement would be if there was an another way to manage the logs besides email because it's not so practical.""There is room for improvements when it comes to the licensing.""When there are issues I would like remediation to be in one place."
