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.

Comprehensive log monitoring has improved proactive incident response and cost control
The best features Splunk Cloud [Private Offer Only] offers include the Ingest Processor, which allows me to filter out or stop data ingestion from the data source to reduce ingestion and storage licensing costs. I am currently exploring this good feature. Regarding my experience with the Ingest Processor, I have a consumer whose application forwards data into Splunk Cloud [Private Offer Only]. Unfortunately, when there is a restart, old duplicate data is also ingested alongside the current data. For example, the last 24 hours' data amounts to 15 to 20 GB, and when the application restarts, an additional 15 to 20 GB of duplicate data ingests. Consequently, instead of the expected 15 to 20 GB, I am looking at almost 30 to 40 GB of ingestion cost. By using the Ingest Processor, I can effectively stop the duplicate data ingestion into Splunk Cloud [Private Offer Only]. Splunk Cloud [Private Offer Only] has positively impacted my organization in many ways. For instance, if something goes wrong with an application I monitor, without Splunk Cloud [Private Offer Only], notifications are unavailable, and support staff would not be notified, which saves time. I also have proactive alerts and predictive analysis, saving costs by preventing the ingestion of duplicate data into Splunk Cloud [Private Offer Only]. From a security standpoint, I have audit-related features to address issues or malicious attacks. Utilizing predictions and AI functions aids me in multiple areas of operations.
