Data teams have gained full control over real‑time user behavior tracking for advertising insights
Snowplow offers the best features in that you are completely free to make your own data model, track the way you want to track, and control the way the data comes to Snowflake so you are the complete owner of the raw data without being forced into a certain data model. Having that level of flexibility impacts our team's work and projects as we needed quite a lot of people that were really good in Snowplow. However, from the moment that you completely understood the technical aspects, you were completely free to set up your own Snowplow environment and track the way you wanted to track and what you wanted to track, which is not possible with Google Analytics and Adobe Analytics, for example. Snowplow has impacted my organization positively, very well. For DPG Media, it is the most important data source that we have, delivering a lot of value in the company. We are making data mesh products on this data all over the company. I think for advertisement, it is really the most important source of data.

Integrated defenses have enabled rapid ransomware prevention and streamlined incident response
Sophos Cybersecurity as a Service is a mature platform with strong endpoint protection, MDR, and integrated security capabilities. However, areas exist where it can continue to evolve. I see opportunities around AI-driven automation, cloud-native security, identity protection, third-party integrations, executive reporting, and proactive risk management. Sophos already provides a strong integrated security platform with MDR, XDR, endpoint protection, and firewall integration. The next evolution is to become even more predictive and autonomous. I would like to see deeper AI-driven response automation, enhanced cloud and identity threat detection, broader third-party integrations, executive-focused risk dashboards, automated compliance mapping, and continuous external attack surface management. These enhancements would not only improve security outcomes but also help CISOs better demonstrate cyber risk reduction and business value. To make it a ten, I would like to see cloud-native workload protection and identity security deeper compared with some specialized competitors. Some enterprises with highly customized SOCs may prefer broader native integration and automation available from platforms such as Microsoft, Palo Alto Networks, or CrowdStrike. Further enhancement in executive reporting and exposure management capabilities is also needed.
