Efficiently detects any issues
Pros and Cons
  • "This software helps us understand any issues that may arise when someone is not at work."
  • "Dashboards do not allow everyone to see what's happening."

What is our primary use case?

It is used as a device that can detect any issues and changes when people are not at work. In one case, we use it when someone is not at work or has already used their allotted time off. This helps us understand any issues that may arise when someone is not at work, which could lead to changes in the way we work.

What needs improvement?

There are many areas that could use improvement. One thing that is important to keep in mind is that times change, and we need to be adaptable to what happens. Ultimately, we want to see positive results and improvements.

In the next release, I would add dashboards that allow everyone to see what's happening, not just the security team. Users can view the data and see what's happening. Also, I think the Data Lake from Cortex XDR should be public, not private.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using the solution for two years.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup was easy.
