Automation has improved detection workflows and provides real-time visibility across all logs
Carasoft Services for Rapid 7 could be improved in terms of integration of Windows log sources. Rapid 7 SIEM has a feature whereby I can integrate Active Directory. However, when I want to integrate system logs, application logs, and everything from my event viewer, Rapid 7 does not have a customized feature for that. Most times, I have to leverage NXLog, which is not ideal. It would be better to have a ready-to-go plugin for it. Additionally, for InsightConnect, an orchestrator, sometimes when I am integrating with third-party ticketing solutions, SNMP might give me issues. Finally, the TLS feature of Rapid 7 is a bit unreliable.

Visual planning has transformed how our teams document aws architecture and estimate costs
The best features Cloudcraft offers include visual AWS architecture, the ability to create professional AWS diagrams quickly, significant time savings during solution design, cost estimation, and having estimated infrastructure costs directly within the architecture diagram. Cloudcraft also makes collaboration easier as architecture diagrams can be shared across infrastructure teams. AWS best practice visualization is there, encouraging better architecture design by making it easy to visualize high availability, multi-AZ deployment, public versus private subnets, and security layers. Creating architecture documentation that previously required several hours can now be completed much more quickly. Architecture design and documentation have had the biggest impact on my team. These are part of our day-to-day work that were time-consuming previously, and now they are easy to accomplish.
