Browser-based SQL access has streamlined team collaboration but still needs faster queries and better ML integration
CloudBeaver AWS can be improved because in rendering of the queries, if it is very complex or big, the responses in the browser get slowed down. Compared to DBeaver of desktop, it is noticeably very slower on the browser of AWS and heavy data engineering can be done, but it will have very slow responses configured altogether. That needs to be maintained. Even there is no connectivity of machine learning, MLflow kind of thing where Airflow or PySpark approaches can be integrated. Python pipelines can be created but the whole end-to-end machine learning pipeline gets stuck whenever we work out with DBeaver. That again is one of the issues that I would look out for to improve. Also, I need to maintain the infrastructure perfectly here. I need to manage it and need to identify the risks as well. The whole proper setup of VPCs or IAMs needs to be done. It is not a NLQ kind of thing. User queries need to be configured in manual approaches, not automated currently. It should be automated now. Debugging is very painful. That again is a vague approach here. Errors can be executed and we will not be getting out the clarity as well. During this whole approach, the logs are not perfect and intuitive and debugging is also very limited. The user interface and documentation look good, but I would still suggest improvements.

Centralized protection has secured global endpoints and simplifies daily threat response
I have noticed pain points around installation. Whenever I want to install on devices that are Windows, it is usually a lot of hassle because it is very easy to install on a MacBook. However, when a user is using Windows, installing Sophos Central on Windows is usually a serious undertaking. I think they can improve on that. Additionally, the installation takes a really long time for Sophos Central. While that might be fine if it is doing its job, for Windows it is really quite a lot when you are installing for a particular person. Regarding needed improvements, I would suggest something. Zoho has this ManageEngine feature where users can actually turn off a device from the administrator end. I think if Sophos Central could integrate that in their system, whereby when there is a high alert, I as an IT administrator can easily go there and click on something to turn off the user's work device, I think that would be something I would love to have. That is a feature I would appreciate. I believe if Sophos Central could have something like remote desktop access, similar to Zoho ManageEngine, where when a particular device is attacked, you can toggle off the device from your end or maybe access the device remotely and render it non-functional, that is something I would appreciate seeing on Sophos Central in the future.
