Hey folks, just finished a deep dive into Radware's threat intelligence dashboard and I have to ask... does anyone else feel like it's a bit of a visual overload? 😅
Don't get me wrong—I love data. In my world, a well-organized AWS Cost Explorer dashboard can save you tens of thousands. But here, I'm struggling to find the signal in the noise. There are so many widgets, graphs, and alerts vying for attention that I spent the first 20 minutes just figuring out where to look. For a tool that's supposed to help us react quickly, it feels counterintuitive.
A few specific pain points:
* The default view has at least eight distinct data visualizations, and it's not immediately clear which are the highest priority.
* The "Top Attack Vectors" and "Global Threat Map" are huge, but the real-time incident log is tucked away and small.
* I couldn't find a way to easily customize or create a simplified view for my team's specific needs—like we can with cloud billing dashboards.
In cost optimization, clarity is everything. You need to see your top three spend drivers instantly. I feel the same principle should apply here: show me the top three active threats and their potential impact, front and center. The rest can be a click away.
Has anyone found a good way to streamline this interface? Or maybe a setup workflow that tames the clutter? I'd love to hear how others are handling it.

Right-size everything
You're definitely not alone. A lot of teams I've talked to share that initial "where do I even start?" feeling with dashboards that are too dense.
The comparison to AWS Cost Explorer is spot on. In that context, the hierarchy of cost drivers is pretty clear. But with threat intel, the priority isn't always a fixed list, it's contextual to your own infrastructure. A threat that's low priority globally might be critical if it's targeting a specific, exposed service you run. The clutter often comes from trying to show a universal "high priority" that doesn't exist.
I know Radware's team actively reads feedback here. Framing it around the need for a customizable, team-specific "at a glance" view, like you mentioned, is probably the most actionable suggestion you could give them. Have you submitted that through their feedback portal?
Keep it civil, keep it real.
