A product that is a highly scalable and provides the functionalities of a SIEM solution to its users
My main issue with them was the constant need for meetings to discuss developing the API model we needed. It felt like we were always in and out of meetings trying to figure it out. It would be great if they could create a more user-friendly experience, like a drag-and-drop interface or a website builder, where clients could build their own API without needing access to the back end. Let me choose the specific tools I want to use and be able to set a price for each of them. Maybe I don't need the entire package in my environment, but I really just want the IDS/IPS. I don't like Splunk or one of the other providers, like Rapid7, who don't work well for me in my environment. So, I suggest having packages for small to medium-sized businesses, even if the primary focus is on larger companies.

Quick to deploy and helpful in detecting and responding to security incidents before there is a big outage
I used it in my previous company. We were the integrator of the solution, and also a partner of Rapid7 at the time.  We used it for security monitoring and also for analytics. We used it for our own company, and like an MSSP, we sold this to our customers. So, we did security monitoring for our…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It is a very stable product."
"We receive infrastructure security warnings from it. So, we know what is going on and what needs to be addressed."
"The solution was consistently available, and I cannot recall any instances where it was down."
"The installation and configuration were slick."
"While I still have on-premises appliances, I can remotely monitor everything from the cloud, and Alert Logic's ease-of-access features have helped me streamline my workflow and reduce implementation time."
"Notifications and the detail of notifications are most valuable. It is a user-friendly solution."
"It has the ability to install agents. It is pretty straightforward. You can automate the process pretty easily."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
More Fortra's Alert Logic MDR pros
"InsightIDR’s ability to process millions of transactions per day, and to notify me of the most critical ones, is priceless. InsightIDR has the alerts tuned, and has the ability to quickly drill down to determine the threat level."
"Log search allows us to dive deep into aggregated logs and query all event types at once.​"
"Intelligent alerting to avoid the common problem of alert fatigue associated with traditional SIEMs."
"It is a very stable solution."
"The ability to ingest Office 365 log files, then process them into events and display them on a map."
"We were able to identify criminals attempting to login from China and put a stop on their IP locations."
"Dashboards, including the main screen, provide much-needed information at a glance, without hours of coding and sifting through logs to find it. In case of an actual security incident, I have faith that insightIDR has retained all logs in a secure manner that prevents log tampering as well."
"The web interface is great — very useful and user-friendly."
More Rapid7 InsightIDR pros
 

Cons

"Its menu is not very intuitive. I would like to see the user menu expanded a bit. The user menu is very layered, and because of the layers, you have to go down a path that is not very intuitive."
"Could be more of an endpoint protector."
"I would like more data on the alert payload. It would be good to have the ability to customize the alert payload to add whatever data that we want on there. Right now, it is a bit limited."
"As a user involved with the user interface, I believe there is a need to continue improving it based on feedback from our customers."
"This product needs to mature more. While it is a good product, there are some areas where it needs work."
"The documentation, especially with the initial setup, needs improvement."
"The setup process was complex."
"I would like to see it do initial scans and start capturing data, which it will truly analyze, not just be a reporting system saying, "Here is an email. Here is an email. Here is an email.""
More Fortra's Alert Logic MDR cons
"I would like the ability to adjust the threshold of certain existing alerts. Currently the only option is to change the notifications or create my own alert."
"I would like to see more development in InsightIDR towards building their SIEM solution and converting it to XDR."
"One of the things that could be better is digital forensics. It is there, but it can be better. They could provide more on the endpoint detection level."
"I feel it would greatly benefit from more supported log sources."
"The reporting is the weakest aspect. There needs to be multi-level grouping for events (for example, group by user and destination). Right now, we can do a group by user and a separate table or group by destination. But I'd be more interested in where a person was logging into instead of who was logging in or where he was logging in."
"InsightIDR's integration with other solutions could be improved. Also, I'd like more control from the portal over what's happening on the endpoint side. For example, when I see an attack on an endpoint, I want to be able to stop it from the portal."
"The main problem lies in the processes within the client's operating systems."
"The APIs can be further improved in Rapid7."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Alert Logic has better competitive pricing than some of its competitors."
"Price of the solution was very reasonable considering the size of our organization at the time, and so it worked out perfectly."
"Our ROI would probably be zero. We don't even use it. It sits in there. We get emails and just delete them. Around the world, we don't even use it."
"Almost any product that is on the AWS Marketplace is super easy to subscribe to."
"Its pricing is very reasonable considering what you get for what you pay. There is quite a good value there. Its licensing is also very logical. They've got the licensing price points at a reasonable level. It is on a monthly license but a yearly contract. There are no additional costs to the standard licensing fees."
"I rate Rapid7 InsightIDR's price a four on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"The solution has a mid-range price point in the market"
"Rapid7 InsightIDR's pricing is reasonable."
"Rapid7 InsightIDR's pricing is reasonable but we have challenges with the Minimum Order Quantity. It is not reasonable for customers who have less than one hundred devices. If they can reduce Minimum Order Quantity, it is good. You have to pay around 5000-6000 dollars per year for the product. The pricing includes maintenance and support costs."
"It is a reasonably priced solution."
"Licensing is straightforward. If, for some reason, you don’t meet the minimum licensing requirements, there is a third-party managed service that can help."
"Licensing is by endpoint and amount of retention time (at least ours is). Default retention was one year, but we are able to push the retention further if needed. There's also a provide-your-own-S3 option for longer retention if you don't want to pay for the additional retention years in your Rapid7 agreement."
"It is on a yearly basis. For our own company, for about 250 users, it was 16,000 euros a year."
