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.

Digital workflows have replaced paper on the shop floor and speed up regulated manufacturing
Definitely, AI in a regulated industry is something that is a concern of the clients. However, Tulip can stick to 21 CFR Part 11 strictly when it comes to Tulip's AI capabilities. Tulip has already started to look forward to compliance-related things. For example, Tulip's AI widget offers data reading throughout the site. It does not allow any AI to interact with external systems when we apply firewalls on it. In this regard, if Tulip continues in that way, they can definitely stick to the governance and security. As of now, I didn't face any issue related to their AI capabilities. It is working fine but not accurate, which is a red flag in a GXP regulated system. This is my feedback on their AI capabilities. This has been introduced into the latest LTS version and needs more hands-on experience. Before that, I cannot give a direct justification or feedback on their AI capabilities being reliable and accurate. However, at the extent that I have used them, they are accurate and reliable as of now. Tulip is an emerging platform and being a cloud-native MES, it has a lot to improve. According to me, traditional MES like FactoryTalk PharmaSuite has more complex features and user-oriented use cases and complexities that the application itself handles. However, when it comes to Tulip, all the things that matter are in the hands of a developer. That is something that Tulip can improve on. Tulip can switch to a traditional way of delivering in the pharmaceutical industry while keeping the cloud-native impact intact. One improvement that I can give an example of is that Tulip has application templates. Instead of templates, they can offer concrete applications to their pharmaceutical or any specific industrial client for their specific needs, such as a recipe designer and production management for a pharmaceutical client. Then production or material tracking or BOM tracking for a discrete client. In that way, I can see an improvement where Tulip can perform well.

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."
"For projects that would take two to three days in other applications, Tulip allows us to complete them in one day."
"Tulip is a pre-configured tool where all fields and options are readily available on the Tulip platform, which impressed me when I evaluated it from a CSV perspective and development perspective."
"Organizations should start using Tulip as soon as possible."
"One of the best features that Tulip offers is having a bunch of connections with third-party tools such as ERPs and specific quality tools, just to have correct traceability of what is the concern about one client or something similar."
"The best features Tulip offers are the low or no code features that enable users with no programming background to work on and build applications."
"Before, we needed many resources to monitor the production control area, but now, with Tulip, we can fulfill requirements and accomplish business objectives with a minimal amount of resources."
"In a general sense, I can say a client saves 60 to 70 percent when it comes to Tulip compared to the traditional MES when it comes to money."
"We have achieved significant profit in our organization, building around one hundred apps in the last three years using Tulip that are all in production and running successfully, with huge accolades and appreciations from clients."
 

Cons

"Carasoft Services for Rapid 7 could be improved in terms of integration of Windows log sources."
"Regarding Tulip's AI capabilities, I perceive that it is not yet mature and is still in the testing phase, with several features rolled out for end users."
"Tulip can be improved to have a lower entry point."
"Tulip can improve by providing additional features developers can use in the application."
"Tulip can improve with better or closer support in developing the applications, especially when we as a pharmaceutical company would have our specific requirements and needs that are mandatory for our industry."
"Customer support receives a rating of two in my experience because they are very difficult to contact."
"Regarding the needed improvements for Tulip, regarding integration that you mentioned, because you have a bunch of features of third-party connections, it is not enough."
"However, if you want a much larger version with better scalability and more UI features, you can consider other products."
"One way Tulip can be improved is that the biggest challenge is if you already know programming. Tulip is extremely hard to set up because it doesn't follow standard programming rules."
