Usability

Hay que mejorar las interfaces y la gestión. No me agrada Velos y R en teams de virtualizacion. Supongo que aplicar demasiadas capas en un producto no es bueno.

Interfaces and management need to be improved. I don't like Velos and R in virtualization teams. I guess applying too many layers to a product isn't good.

Likelihood to Recommend

En resolucion de dominos a nivel politica AFM para establecer permisos y reglas especificas. Deben mejorar la visibilidad en Las graficas de AVR y Analiticos, actualmente no es granular, lo que no ayuda mucho en escenarios onde hay que identificar comportamientos inusuales.

In domain resolution at the AFM policy level to establish specific permissions and rules.

Visibility in the AVR and Analytics charts should be improved; currently, it is not granular, which is not very helpful in scenarios where unusual behavior needs to be identified.
