"Every new asset placed in the environment can be automatically detected, predicting human failures."
"It could be even more automated."
"It could be more stable."
"Lacking sufficient operations documentation."
"The product provides minimal metrics that are insufficient."
"This solution could be improved if it offered the ability to analyze charts, such as a solution like Kibana."
