Reduced manual work and built reliable real-time collaboration with serverless messaging
I love Ably for its advanced pub/sub messaging capabilities, which help us with messaging Delta Compression, allowing us to send only changes from previous messages instead of entire payloads every time. For example, if I have to say 'hi', instead of sending the whole payload, it only sends the change in the current payload, reducing bandwidth consumption and enabling high-frequency data streaming. This major change has made our clients really happy as they receive notifications and messages without latency. Additionally, if a client goes offline, Ably stores messages in history for up to 72 hours, allowing clients to query history and catch up on missed events, ensuring complete stream continuity. It also supports multi-protocol, using WebSockets and gracefully falling back to server-sent events and long polling as needed, including support for MQTT and IoT devices along with pub/sub control for easy migration.I appreciate the serverless integration that has the integrated native web hook, instantly triggering serverless functions such as AWS Lambda and Azure Function when specific real-time events occur. It also allows Kafka Connector for seamless ingestion of messages from Kafka topics to stream them out to millions of users in milliseconds.

Automated cloud security has protected web apps and APIs while enforcing least privilege access
The best features of Cyber Security Cloud Managed Rules include core features that extend protection specific to CMS platforms such as WordPress and Joomla or framework exploits. These rules are regularly updated against the latest CVEs, botnets, and malware without requiring human intervention. I can specify the range in the system and it will update against the latest botnets or malware without requiring any human intervention. It also includes a specialized rule set which mitigates threats targeting web applications, APIs, and serverless environments. Cyber Security Cloud Managed Rules help in managing vulnerabilities such as SQL injections and XSS by modeling user and device behavior across the entire cloud estate. If an admin suddenly logs in from a suspicious location or a script makes unusual API calls, Cyber Security Cloud Managed Rules instantly isolates the resource or flags it for review. When a particular threat is recognized, Cyber Security Cloud Managed Rules bypasses the need for human intervention to execute defensive actions such as changing firewall modes, blocking malicious IP addresses, or revoking compromised credentials. I have CI/CD deployment pipelines which are assigned strict scoping to IAM roles, so these roles have the precise permissions required to push updates to Cyber Security Cloud Managed Rules via infrastructure as code. This ensures that every deployment is pre-validated and consistent with the organization's security policies. I assess the impact of continuous updates provided by threat intelligence as significant because I have set a particular number of alerts. Whenever I see that this alert is triggered, I conduct monitoring. Based on the manage rules defined in AWS and whatever protocol enforcement exists, my model detects and blocks unauthorized access which deviates from standard HTTPS or other standard protocols, and it mitigates sophisticated bot and malware attacks. API gateway or serverless stage is specifically tuned to block API security and serverless threats. These rules can be natively deployed in front of CloudFront or application load balancer and API gateway. For enhanced operational control, these managed rules are commonly paired with WAF-Champ or automated WAF operation service which helps to manage exception and false positive rates. The detailed logs and analytics from Cyber Security Cloud Managed Rules help when it comes to making informed security decisions, and it totally depends on the decisions and what logs are needed. As long as I have defined all logs related to sign-in logs and audit logs, based on the logs, I decide whether to go with those alerts or whether to minimize that security risk and where to focus.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Ably has improved our organization by enhancing real-time communication capabilities and providing reliable data delivery."
"Ably has positively impacted our organization by providing a good return on investment by avoiding the labor cost of building and maintaining a custom WebSocket server."
"Ably's API integration is intuitive; it definitely improved our efficiency, and we saw faster user interaction and around a 20% reduction in latency during peak times, which improved user experience as well."
"My most-liked feature is its highly reliable real-time messaging capacity."
"We experience vast improvements across many areas with Ably; when users connect bank accounts, we previously had to poll repeatedly, which is now replaced by Ably's real-time infrastructure that maintains a persistent back-end connection, significantly reducing the need for infrastructure management and API load, resulting in average bank connection display times decreasing from eight to twelve seconds down to one to two seconds, and with persistent back-end connections reducing API calls, we achieve a lower operational load, seeing an impressive reduction of thirty thousand to forty thousand calls monthly."
"Ably has a big capacity to stream data all over the world, has higher reliability and a 99.99% uptime, offers robust security guarantees and ease of integration, and saved at least 80% of the cost that would have required more developers and more time for integration testing and development."
"Cyber Security Cloud Managed Rules have impacted my organization very positively because my company is security-focused."
"Cyber Security Cloud Managed Rules has positively impacted our organization because we are a tech company, so we always prefer to get security first."
"Cyber Security Cloud Managed Rules has positively impacted my organization by reducing the manual WAF management by fifty percent and accelerating the automated updates and improvement in threat intelligence."
"The detailed logs and analytics from Cyber Security Cloud Managed Rules help when it comes to making informed security decisions, and it totally depends on the decisions and what logs are needed."
"Cyber Security Cloud Managed Rules has positively impacted my organization; the impact was great."
"Cyber Security Cloud Managed Rules has positively impacted my organization because earlier, a complete SOC team was required 24/7 for manually checking the alerts, acting upon those alerts, and doing forensics, and with cloud managed rules being automated and intelligent and updating in real time, the manual intervention by the SOC team has been significantly reduced, resulting in a comparatively higher detection rate than before."
"From my experience, this product is the most stable option available."
"Cyber Security Cloud Managed Rules has positively impacted my organization as we have been using it for two years, saving us considerable time because we do not need people to validate traffic or perform any manual deployment anymore."
 

Cons

"Overall, Ably appears strong for managed real-time operations, but could improve areas such as pricing predictability."
"Ably can be improved in several areas."
"It falls just short of a perfect ten only because full twenty-four-hour phone or live chat escalation is heavily gated behind their highest enterprise pricing tiers."
"This product requires skilled people because there is a lot of automation needed to understand all the features in the dashboard."
"I would describe the customer support for Cyber Security Cloud Managed Rules as pretty average. They provide a link and then disappear, so I have to do my own research."
"Sometimes, there is over-blocking within the cloud managed rules where valid requests or IPs could be blocked, which should be fine-tuned to reduce over-blocking."
"Cyber Security Cloud Managed Rules can be improved by automating the responses, enhancing visibility, providing deeper insights, integrating with DevOps and SecOps, and facilitating real-time analysis."
"Sometimes false positives do come across, and we have incidents where people who are actually trying to access are getting blocked out, which is how I think Cyber Security Cloud Managed Rules can be improved."
"Regarding pricing, setup cost, and licensing, I find it a bit more expensive."
"Cyber Security Cloud Managed Rules has a very high rate of false positives."
