Security Engineer at CSOC
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.

Centralized cloud views have improved visibility and simplify tracking of connected resources
I think the dashboard could be a little more user-friendly, especially for people who are using the platform for the first time. Sometimes, finding specific information in a large cloud setup can take extra time. It would also be good to have more customization options for dashboards and reports. In the next release, I would like to see better cost alerts, more detailed usage reports, and easier ways to identify unused resources. These improvements would make Hyperglance more convenient for daily use and help teams manage cloud resources more efficiently.

Pros

"The best feature Carasoft Services for Rapid 7 offers in my experience is the simplicity with which the agent installs on servers."
"Carasoft Services for Rapid 7 is a strong SIEM software as a service offering, and the automation feature has been amazing and provides more visibility."
"The visual diagrams are especially helpful when troubleshooting issues because I can quickly understand how different services are connected without checking each resource manually."
"Being able to see how everything connects and spot potential security issues or wasted spending can save time."
"The visual mapping of cloud resources is one of the most useful features for me because it makes the overall infrastructure easier to understand."
"It significantly cut down our onboarding time for new client accounts, and it helped us catch idle resources that were running up client costs unnecessarily, making our FinOps reporting much more accurate."
 

Cons

"Carasoft Services for Rapid 7 could be improved in terms of integration of Windows log sources."
"The UI can still feel a bit cluttered and sluggish when client accounts approach the resource limit, so better default filtering out of the box would help."
"I think the dashboard could be a little more user-friendly, especially for people who are using the platform for the first time."
"I would like to see more detailed filtering options for large AWS environments, especially when searching for specific EC2 instances, security groups, or network dependencies."
"It can be on the higher side for smaller teams, and it can sometimes overlap with existing tech stack, so be mindful of those things when evaluating budget."
