The program and cloud service management is in English. It's not a problem for me, however, it might be for users who don't speak English or use it regularly.

But the biggest one for us is patch management because this has been our top priority when looking at alternatives. Every solution needs to have patch management, if that's possible. It would cut costs on our side if that feature were included, so we don't need to pay for two separate pieces of software.

I would like the part of Hash Analysis by external sources to be improved.

The solution could improve by having more real-time responses. For example, when a license gets removed from a computer it does not update the records of the change. Additionally, when I installed Microsoft Windows Defender I was not able to send licenses through email to our tenants. The integration with other solutions could improve.

One problem is that the solution takes too much RAM from the client.
