SA
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.

I am not currently using virtual machines, but I intend to switch over from VMware, and if I do, I may use the Shielded Virtual Machines feature. I am not using the Nano Server product, so I cannot comment on its impact on reducing server footprint in my organization. I am not working with Windows Containers for managing application deployment. I do not know about the integration capability of Windows Server 2016 (Windows Server 2016) | Support by SupportedImages with Microsoft Azure, as I do not use the cloud. I would give Windows Server 2016 (Windows Server 2016) | Support by SupportedImages a rating of eight on a scale from zero to ten.
