Cloud audits have become smoother and data risks are reduced through automated discovery
I cannot think of any improvements, really. Sentra does what it's meant to do, finding shadow data. If the data classification feature was improved ever so slightly, maybe a little bit quicker to use, that would be good, but that's the type of thing where it's never going to be perfect anyway, so there are no real improvements that I can see with Sentra, no big ones anyway. The only area where I see potential for improvement is making it quicker to use the data classification section. Other than that, I haven't seen any areas where I'd want it to be improved.

What advice do you have for others considering Sentra?
I would say that audits could be anywhere from 10 to 20% smoother from using a tool such as this, because if data is classified properly and you're able to prove that very clearly, and also data is...
