Terminal, A Must Have Cybersecurity Tool

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use Terminal for everything on a daily basis. I use WSL a lot with Terminal to maintain each and every server environment. With WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) I am able to run Linux on a Windows O/S. Ever since Windows added this feature my productivity went through the roof. I don't know what I would be using without Terminal, it's great for Cybersecurity and Web development.

Pros

  • WSL
  • Linux Servers
  • Cybersecurity

Cons

  • At this time I do not have anything for them to improve on

Terminal - high quality, fast, and flexible talent

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Hiring technical talent, full time and contractors. They are extremely fast and have an efficient process to hire. They allow us to make hires in days with many high quality candidates instantly available. The contract to hire model is great for us as it is a low initial commitment with the ability to get to hire someone quickly who is well vetted, and keep the optionality to bring them on full time after getting to work with them. Terminal provides a lot of speed and flexibility to our business to start and scale projects.

Pros

  • extremely fast and efficient process to hire consultants or full time
  • The platform and product provide unique tools and insights to candidates - efficient and useful candidate screening and recommendation
  • Their team is attentive, knowledgeable, and great to work with

Cons

  • I wish they did more roles than just technical!
  • More geographic expansion

Return on Investment

  • We brought down engineering costs by well over 50%
  • We were able to hire contractors to start building a new product in one week, in what would have take over a month for a full time local role.
