Brice-Abrioux - PeerSpot reviewer
Lead Cyber Architect at a energy/utilities company with 10,001+ employees
Micro-segmentation has delivered deep flow visibility and simplified firewall rule management
Although mapping is currently fine, Akamai Segmentation [Private Offer Only] can improve by providing a more useful and visually appealing graphical user interface for mapping. While we can automate rules through API calls, this is not entirely possible with the same API. Navigation between different sources and generations of APIs can make it time-consuming to achieve cartography. While labeling is beneficial, there is still room for user experience improvements. The improvements are not solely due to the Akamai project; they also stem from issues related to CMDB and the information systems of our company, where sometimes the information is inconsistent, causing Akamai to be unable to automate labeling if that information is not consistently provided.

Centralized logging has transformed infrastructure monitoring and supports proactive recovery
The best features that rsyslog server offers include the ability to filter, tag, and rewrite logs, with logs stored in databases and files, then forwarded to various destinations such as SIEM or files as needed. Of course, the client sends the logs. Out of those features, I find myself relying most heavily on the logging capabilities it pulls from everything that is connected to Unix or Linux boxes, allowing me to see any particular issues or errors that may be occurring. The logs are stored in files or databases and they can be forwarded to me, even emailed directly. rsyslog server has positively impacted my organization, particularly with disaster recovery logging, where alerts for failures allow me to see failover events and any replication issues, especially within managed healthcare environments. It can indeed be used for HIPAA, pulling data from the entire infrastructure including Unix and Linux servers, network devices, firewalls, and storage arrays. Regarding how rsyslog server has improved efficiency and compliance, it provides insight into what's happening within the infrastructure as a high-performance systems log daemon receiving logs from the entirety of the network through UDP and TCP, writing to files, databases, or SIEM systems. It's user-friendly for Unix and Linux admins or engineers because it's been familiar for so long, and it certainly is not outdated.

Pros

"Akamai Segmentation [Private Offer Only] has positively impacted our organization by giving us a better understanding of our flows, saving time implementing segregation and fixing production issues because we have a complete overview that allows us to determine whether the flow is functioning or if issues are due to flow problems."
"Akamai is globally available with globally distributed edge locations and presence across the globe, which ultimately benefits our customers."
"Rsyslog server's AI capabilities depict it as a data pipeline feeding AI systems, working hand in hand with AI for anomaly detection, ops automation, and log analysis through the collected syslog data."
"The impact of rsyslog server on my organization has been positive, making processes easier, faster, and more reliable, as before its integration with the firewall, we lacked insight into policies governing incoming and outgoing traffic."
"These features make my day-to-day work easier and more efficient because whenever I find any failure or boot problems in a client machine, I can easily identify the issue."
"The easy configuration and quick monitoring of rsyslog server help me in my day-to-day work as it saves my time and makes my troubleshooting easier."
"The best feature rsyslog server offers is syslog recording, serving as the main and most important feature by recording syslogs and receiving them from TCP or UDP, other UDP servers, and forwarding those logs to even other servers, allowing for daily syslog handling in any direction, TCP, UDP, local, or remote."
 

Cons

"It is quite expensive, to be honest, but it is really useful, as we see positive results."
"I would rate their customer service as four out of ten."
"Currently, I use rsyslog server, but I think some features could be improved by going through other SIEM tools or IBM tools."
"I have not seen a return on investment; it is just about functionality for me."
