Good Features and easy to use

What do you like best about the product?
User Interface (GUI)
- Easy to navigate the fields for scanning and creating templates for scan
What do you dislike about the product?
Adding subnets and VLANs
- It will be better if we can change how we add VLANs or IP Ranges. If you have a lot IP ranges, you have to check it one by one if we need to exclude IP or hostname
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vulnerabilities (mostly from our internal servers and networks)
