Have improved operational agility and reduced issue resolution time through automation and proactive insight
I have worked in an R&D environment where we have continuous research and continuous development focus on how to improve specific aspects of a specific offering, whether it is a product or a service or a combination of product and service with BMC Helix Operations Management with AIOps. I have seen over time, over the past maybe decade or maybe a couple of decades, different areas of improvements. There is always room for improvements. As of now, I think having that level of automation, the integrative nature where the solution parameters bring residency across protecting data, across bringing better functionality across the operational environments, really brings a great deal of admiration. I do not see any immediate area that could require a lot more advancements, but I am sure BMC will be looking to maybe improving certain criteria depending really on the given spectrum of a specific environment. Maybe looking into an ad hoc assessment for certain environments could be suitable to address what areas could be addressed differently. Regarding needed improvements for BMC Helix Operations Management with AIOps, people always love to see more criteria of functionality, but those are things that maybe could be addressed in different ways. The flexibility of dashboards is really fantastic. Maybe that is one area that everybody might have a different way of looking at a dashboard, but customizing dashboard capabilities has always been an area of discussion. Outside of that, the sustainability of the features available today, given the spectrum that each version brings different type of updates and what have you, could utilize a lot more than a single opinion. It could maybe take a group discussion, it could take cross-functional type of sessions to really brainstorm about what areas will be in need of improvements. The overall solution brings, in parallel to ITIL 4 continuous improvement strategies, a great traction on how we can focus on continuous improvements at large. Hopefully we can see more in the future. Having the capabilities to integrate with microservices architecture really brought the cost reduction benefit right at the top of the scale for many agencies where they grant flexibility, realizing only needed resources at the cloud, and the deployments have been very agile, bringing everybody into a fast and unique agile sense of doing business. Improving the business confidence has been also another area that we had utilized a great amount of feedback in that regard.

Advanced threat hunting has improved SOC visibility and now supports faster incident response
Devo can improve in how its connectors enhance integration with third-party tools. Devo's architecture works by having you deploy a relay server in the data center of the client side and Devo SIEM is basically on the AWS cloud. There are specific ports which are enabled on the relay server, which are 514 and 13000, 13151, 152. However, when we talk about databases and custom integrations, there are not default ports in the relay server. No default ports are defined. For JDBC drivers, the port number is 1433, but it is not in the relay server. You have to add it manually. For Oracle RDBMS, the port is 1521, and it is also not there by default. I would appreciate more third-party integrations including Fortinet and others. Machine learning models can also be improved. Playbooks in the SOAR can also be improved. Regarding playbooks for automation, we utilize playbooks for automation in SOAR for automated IOC blocking on a firewall, on a web application firewall, on DNS security, etc. The only option for us to run the playbook is to schedule the job for it. However, if I want to manually run the playbook, there is no option for doing so. This needs improvement.
