We performed a comparison between Rapid7 InsightIDR and SolarWinds Security Event Manager based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I like the tool's user analysis feature."
"The incident case management is the most valuable feature. Even though there's always something I find I would like to add to that feature, the ability to quickly sort through all the logs, network and endpoint data, etc., and add it to an incident case as part of the investigation, is nice. Having it automatically timeline that additional data into the original incident timeline, and correlate it to other notable events and activities on the network, results in a huge improvement in our overall confidence that we've quickly traced down the right source of an issue."
"I have seen that Rapid7 InsightIDR provides security to the networks and endpoints in the company."
"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."
"Another very important part of insightIDR is the ability to collect data from endpoint devices via agent software. With a large remote workforce, this allows visibility into the endpoints that are connected to the internet, but not to the corporate network."
"The UI is very good."
"InsightIDR helps us investigate an environment to discover information about incidents."
"Very intuitive and easy to set up."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the visibility into both attempted and failed logins."
"Some of the rules are most valuable because you can be notified about various things, such as spyware or things that are going on in the internal network."
"It performs network behavior monitoring, log monitoring, and disaster recovery monitoring."
"It's easy to build rules and actions based on the logs and event types we collect with the software."
"The solution helps you monitor database instances, application instances, other customer application things, Linux servers, IBM servers, and Oracle servers."

"The integration capabilities of the solution have certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"Rapid7 doesn't integrate well with all our security tools from various vendors, so we plan to switch. Many of our solutions work with Rapid7, but some do not. We are already searching for a replacement already."
"Cloud risk assessment is one area where I think they need a lot of improvement."
"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."
"Needs a better ability to customize the check within the console."
"The company had to use a third party for the implementation of the solution."
"Training for this solution needs to be improved, as new employees are sometimes unfamiliar with the product."

"I imagine we will have to develop our own reports soon, this seems to be more cumbersome."
"There is no correlation made between log entries, so no threat information is presented."
"We used the support from SolarWinds Security Event Manager and they are knowledgeable but challenging to get in contact with them."
"The solution's technical support is okay, but we don't have an SLA, and sometimes the response times are very slow."
"It won't tell you when your backups are failing, but it will give you hints when your database is running on full recovery."
