"The dynamic profiling of websites is the solution's most valuable feature. The security is also good."
"I am impressed with the product's scalability, availability, easy management, and security. We were able to integrate the product with Azure and Sentinel."
"There are some features that are configured by default, so even without doing much, it can still provide a level of protection."

"Their portal is very limited and needs improvement."
"It is complicated to integrate the solution's on-cloud version with other platforms."
