The initial configuration can be somewhat complex, particularly for those setting it up for the first time.

Additionally, although the dashboards provide useful information, the reporting features lack flexibility. More customizable options would be helpful for users who need detailed analytics or have specific compliance requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
