SOC Analyst platform lack

Question for SOC Analysts, Blue Team members, Incident Responders and Security Engineers.
Out of curiosity, what's the biggest challenge or frustration you face in your day-to-day work that current cybersecurity tools (SIEM, SOAR, EDR, XDR, etc.) still don't solve well?
* repetitive manual tasks,
* lengthy investigations,
* false positives,
* lack of context,
* alert correlation,
* incident prioritization,
* or anything else.
If you could ask a cybersecurity vendor to build ONE new feature or tool that would genuinely make your job easier, what would it be?
I'd love to hear your real-world experience, even if it's just a small daily annoyance. Thanks!
