The integrability of this solution can be improved. Integration with other tools such as Jira is needed. We are having issues with false positives that need to be resolved. Being able to save reports in different formats would be helpful because they could be imported into other tools or repositories. Technical support should respond more quickly to requests and inquiries. In the next release, I would like to see a more streamlined output that is easy to manage.
