Surface Command Likes & Dislikes

Like

Its is ability to give a complete view of all internet facing assets. Its incredibly useful for identiying unknown or forgotten assets that could pose security risks. This visibility it provides helps us stay one step ahead.

Like

I like how it is one console that you can navigate to all its product lines. Though it still needs work, having one plane of glass is great.

Like

I like the deep correlation to analyze potentially hidden vulnerabilities

Dislike

There's not much to dislike, but i did notice that some scans and data synchronization processes can take longer than expected during peak times. A little more speed and flexibiltiy in scheduling scans would make the experience even better.

Dislike

I don't like how it takes a while to load the different product lines when jumping to different sections of the UI. The reporting piece can also use some work, so that I can customize my own reports based on the data.

Dislike

Wish some of the capabilities in this new tool existed in some of their other products
