Find out what your peers are saying about Splunk, Microsoft, Wazuh and others in Security Information and Event Management (SIEM)."The UI is very good."
"Rapid7's reporting is more robust than Tenable's."
"Simple configuration and automatically syncs to the cloud platform."
"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."
"The technical support is a solid 10 out of 10 as they take the time to answer any questions or problems which may arise in a reasonable time frame."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten. As a cloud tool, the product is highly scalable."
"Rapid7 is easy to use and deploy. It is a simple solution and has easy data pulling."
"If you were on other solutions, you would notice that they use agents from third-party, from open-source, from a native OS, or from other tools. Here, however, it is an agent from Rapid7 itself. This adds to the solution's overall capabilities."
"Has great reporting features."
"The most valuable feature is the vulnerability scan."
"The most valuable features are its reporting capabilities and the host discovery functionality."
"Rapid7 have a good distribution network with good support and market presence."
"The risk score that they provide makes it easier to find out the biggest risks. It helped the security officers to understand where the biggest risks are so that they can act on them. They can instruct their IT teams to give them a higher priority and mitigate them."
"The remediation project is a pretty effective because it allows us, as clients or countries, to choose specific assets and set limitations on them for a certain period which allows us to track and follow up on those limitations. However, when it comes to real-time monitoring and live dashboards, InsightVM doesn't quite fit the bill. It's not a real-time solution and is not instant."
"The solution works well."
"We feel the interface is very good. It is very easy to use, even a nontechnical person can use it."
"Currently, it lacks the functionalities provided by Rapid7's User Behavior Analytics (UBA)."
"The solution's XDR agents cannot compete with the XDR solutions out there yet."
"InsightIDR is only available in a cloud version. Some of our customers prefer an on-prem solution because they want to manage the security within their environment."
"The ability to tune the collector for custom logs would greatly help."
"The APIs can be further improved in Rapid7."
"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 feel it would greatly benefit from more supported log sources."
"Cloud risk assessment is one area where I think they need a lot of improvement."
"The authentication scan is not working."
"We have some issues with how it scans patches."
"Patch management is the only missing feature I can think of. Rapid7 detects vulnerabilities, but it should also help you manage patches."
"Their customer support should be improved, and the effectiveness of scans also needs to be improved."
"The solution needs to improve its vulnerability design to include CVC results."
"We found that after you passed an endpoint, it didn't always reflect it in the next scan. I'm not sure if it was a glitch or some issue with the product's software. That was never clear. That was always an issue and something that definitely needed improvement."
"We are a registered reseller and a trusted partner. However, for us to get any support from them I can't log a call directly with Rapid7 InsightVM. I have to work with the distributor to log the call for me."
"There is room for improvement on its cloud side. In the next release I would like to see better reporting."
