It has helped us improve our vulnerability tracking and patching process in a structured way. We use it regularly as part of our security operations, and it has made things more organized and manageable. With a few improvements, it can become even better.

The dashboard is simple and gives a quick understanding of what needs attention. Patch management is a big plus it saves a lot of time by automating updates instead of doing everything manually. It also helps us stay prepared for audits since reports are readily available and easy to generate Cons One thing that could be better is the initial setup it takes some time to fully configure everything properly.
