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.

The best features Lucee CFML Server offers include high performance, it is lightweight, it is open source so multiple people built upon it, it has great admin features where you can log in and create different processes, and it has seamless integration with Java. Out of those features, I find myself relying on high performance and ease of use the most. While using CFML since ColdFusion 7 came out, I discovered that Lucee CFML Server is very easy to understand someone else's code. It is simple and streamlined, and it is fortunate that you can quickly manipulate a program into whatever you need to do without adding so many actual layers of code.
