In general, it is a tool that I really like, perhaps its limitations are due to being immersed in the world of SMEs and not focused on large solutions, I would like it to be a solution that could be implemented in larger companies, as a central point of my security policies and not only in small or medium-sized companies

I was able to change and implement the company's policies very quickly and the maintenance time was much better, the great benefit, the efficiency in the management of the operation, its ease of use allowed me to dedicate my time to other activities, additionally they have support constant to clients based on education and constant evolution of the system, even doing the updates was something very simple, within 15 minutes I already had a new update installed and in production
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Being a focused company, SMEs offers an advantage in relation to price value, in addition to having the reports included and their integration with active directory without the need for additional equipment or software.
