Cloud cost observability has transformed multi-cloud savings and now drives accountable spending
In terms of improvements needed for Amnic - Cloud Cost Observability Platform, I think mostly if we add more AI features and improve broader cost service integration, including deeper integration with more cloud-native third-party tools and support for additional SaaS cost management, it could enhance the platform. We can also add more customizable dashboards for personalized KPIs to enhance visibility, along with providing role-based views for finance and engineering executives. Lastly, enhancing forecasting with AI-based predictions, automation remediation, and more granular cost insights would be beneficial, along with adding multi-cost governance and user training or adoption tutorials to aid new users. Additionally, the best thing would be to add playbooks, tutorials, and FinOps guidelines where new users in the industry can easily understand what we are using and how to use it. Adding multi-cloud governance capability would also be greatly appreciated and helpful for any organization. I chose 8 out of 10 primarily because there are more areas to add on. I believe Amnic - Cloud Cost Observability Platform can reach 10 out of 10, but it needs to improve in specific areas such as global governance across regions and cloud providers since larger organizations seek control over financial factors. This is crucial as significant costs can increase operational overhead, prompting them to look for certain features. If basic training, AI automation integration, and multi-cloud scaling are included in Amnic - Cloud Cost Observability Platform, it could definitely improve and reach 10 out of 10. Regarding any additional improvements needed for Amnic - Cloud Cost Observability Platform that I haven't mentioned, it would help us greatly if we could receive optimization support from Amnic - Cloud Cost Observability Platform, as the current support model is something that could improve for future users and organizations.

Daily endpoint monitoring has improved investigations and saved time but detection rules still need tuning
It is important to note that Rapid7 InsightCloudSec's features are not 100% precise, but I find about 70% of the time it is satisfactory. I would like to suggest that you improve it to be more precise, ideally making it 100% if possible. Some cases in Rapid7 InsightCloudSec indicate that the log is not enough, as they mostly just generate alerts, and the synchronization between data connectors is often problematic, particularly in terms of not being in sync always, especially between the AD and Rapid7 alerts, which generates numerous false positives. Additionally, the traditional rules should be updated, as this is a main point worth mentioning since we spend a lot of time fine-tuning these traditional rules. I suggest improving the legacy detection rules. If there are any authentication cases, such as impossible travel activity where a user has their SharePoint hosted in a different location, Rapid7 can often trigger alerts, creating confusion as we cannot fine-tune it properly. Another issue is with honeypot access. We sometimes lack necessary logs because Defender's advanced threat protection scanning gets detected as honeypot activity by Rapid7, leading to annoying and noisy alerts that we need to constantly close. If you can improve the traditional detection rules to reflect current detection rules, it would make it significantly easier for us to manage, as we constantly need to check legacy rules to update or possibly turn them off. Updating the legacy rules should be a priority.

Pros

"Amnic - Cloud Cost Observability Platform has positively impacted my organization by reducing my cloud costing significantly."
"If you are figuring out how your resource costs can be saved through real-time basis analysis, Amnic - Cloud Cost Observability Platform is a really good tool."
"I value how the prompt-based root cause analysis works for my team because it creates reports in a manner that is understandable for a specific role, with details tailored to that role and how they view the information."
"Amnic - Cloud Cost Observability Platform is one of the best tools we are currently using in our organization."
"The complete checklist covers all the AWS services I use and also has wide checks of the possible misconfigurations or specific vulnerabilities that may affect that service in order to have that wide view of the possible security measures I have to apply in each service."
"The tool's most valuable feature is workload protection for Kubernetes and container security. It has agents that identify bugs or lack of security on runtime containers."
"Rapid7 InsightCloudSec impacts the organization positively by acting as a shield against hackers and ransomware, providing effective protection to data and infrastructure."
"After implementing Rapid7 InsightCloudSec, we increased our CIS benchmark score from 48 to around 88 after addressing missing patches on some VM instances, indicating a significant positive impact."
"ICSE is cheaper compared to other tools and has a pleasant user experience with good support."
"Rapid7 InsightCloudSec has helped us save thirty percent time in our log retrievals, and it completely changed log searching, making it really fast when we search for logs, with no prior knowledge required."
"Since implementing Rapid7 InsightCloudSec, manual cloud security checks have been reduced by around forty to fifty percent, and mean time to resolve misconfigurations has dropped from several hours to under thirty minutes on average, significantly improving efficiency and client confidence."
"I find the security frameworks and security tools valuable. I think they're good in the infrastructure of the code security. They are also good at threat protection."
 

Cons

"I chose seven out of 10 because there are a lot of tools already available in the market, such as Zero Cloud, and both AWS and Azure also provide their own costing report portals."
"However, if your workloads are frequent, it may not be needed."
"I think Amnic - Cloud Cost Observability Platform can be improved by adding more agents, although it already has many effective agents for prompting."
"Regarding any additional improvements needed for Amnic - Cloud Cost Observability Platform that I haven't mentioned, it would help us greatly if we could receive optimization support from Amnic - Cloud Cost Observability Platform, as the current support model is something that could improve for future users and organizations."
"I currently do not have any specific suggestions for improvements, as I am still exploring the full capabilities of Rapid7 InsightCloudSec, but I wish the UI and UX for reporting could be more straightforward, simplifying the process of creating matrices and dashboards."
"Rapid7 InsightCloudSec can be improved by seeing reductions and improvements in prioritization, tuning findings, suppressing low-value alerts, and better prioritizing the most critical risks."
"There are a lot of other solutions in the market, not only providing the features of a CSPM, but also CNAPP."
"I would say that because Rapid7 InsightCloudSec does not have automatic patching capabilities, it provides recommendations, but it does not execute anything from within Rapid7 InsightCloudSec."
"Some cases in Rapid7 InsightCloudSec indicate that the log is not enough, as they mostly just generate alerts, and the synchronization between data connectors is often problematic, particularly in terms of not being in sync always, especially between the AD and Rapid7 alerts, which generates numerous false positives."
"Rapid7 InsightCloudSec could be better at showing dashboards for virtual firewalls and appliances. Compared to other solutions like Palo Alto, this area is not as good. So, they should work on improving this for virtual devices."
"They didn't have any documentation on how to patch it."
"For a first-time user who starts using Rapid7 InsightCloudSec, it is somewhat complicated to navigate through the UI and search for logs or vulnerabilities, so this is one aspect that could be improved."
