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.

AI-driven workflows have transformed our end-to-end development and collaboration processes
The built-in CI/CD integration in GitLab [Private Offer Only] is lacking. We are still depending on other packages. If GitLab [Private Offer Only] had some CI/CD integration internally, it would be beneficial. Because for CI/CD integration now, we are currently doing it with the direct server side. I think it is not that much integrated with the current scenarios of AI, that is AI agent-based or assistant-based coding patterns. Some more improvement is required in GitLab [Private Offer Only] for CI/CD integration along with AI platforms. AI integration is basically what we need, especially on the CI/CD side of GitLab [Private Offer Only]. The code assistant, such as a cloud code assistant, is making things with GitLab [Private Offer Only], but it is conventional. They are pulling the code and sending the thing. I think they can do some more integration, seamless integration with GitLab [Private Offer Only]. AI is consuming GitLab [Private Offer Only] with the older style. If AI were fully pluggable in GitLab [Private Offer Only], it would be beneficial. I think we could get some more time reduction, especially on the testing side and the code testing side.
