I have found the solution to be flexible, adaptable and responsive which enables the implementation of risk management principles and security best practices. It provides visibility into cloud application usage, including what data has been accessed, when and by whom that help detect behavioral anomalies with app usage and alert on suspicious events

• The detection of threats is very good since the data will not be damaged because the monitoring of the software is very attentive, so the errors are analyzed before something can be damaged.
• It has wonderful technical support willing to help at all times.

• Although it is a relatively simple software to use, it requires a bit of knowledge, which a new user cannot do without consolidating some previous knowledge.
• The technical support team is not ideal; although, on many occasions we have not needed their help, the times we have interacted it has left us wanting more.

• The UI does not feel intuitive
• The support documentation sometimes is lacking or unclear

It is a perfect system to detect problems that we do not see manually, it is light, with a very simple learning curve and with great protection of our data, we will use it forever.

It might look complex in the beginning but once you get hold of it by going through all of the documentation then it seems to be very smooth. The configuration is comparatively easy and the user can understand it on their own without any external help. The overall learning curve is Ok.
