Shitanshu Kumar

Senior Director, Products & Solutions at Etek international

Offers insights into past events and future incidents before they occur

I rate the product a nine out of ten. Organizations should evaluate how the solution will impact their organization and align with their security goals rather than solely focusing on the features the solution offers. The capabilities of a solution may vary, and it's essential to prioritize your specific requirements and choose the one that best meets those needs.

SohailHyder

Head Of Cyber Security at Super Secure

Has supported compliance needs for mid-sized organizations but lacks customization and advanced integration

If we pitch Rapid7 InsightIDR against solutions such as SIEMs from Splunk or LogRhythm, it is not as customizable as a SIEM solution is. This is where it can improve if we keep in front the feature sets of a complete SIEM solution. Most common in the market is QRadar, but it is depleting now. It has been taken over by some other products such as Splunk and LogRhythm. If we compare these things with Rapid7 InsightIDR, then there are definitely some gaps that need to be filled. Data retention is also one concern because Rapid7 InsightIDR is cloud-based and operates on a subscription model. Whatever data you want to retain, it has to be paid for separately or it has a cost. Other solutions that are on-premises can have their own infrastructure or they provide some data retention for a month or in some capacity-wise, they provide that solution to them which makes them more attractive.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product provides a collective view through the Enterprise Security Manager, offering insights into past events and heuristics about future incidents before they occur and impact the organization."

"Features for user behavior analytics and the rules for attack review are good."

"I am able to run automated actions based on the output of reports, leaving me extra time to focus on more pressing matters."

"I like that it's a cloud-based solution."

"The log aggregation and storage provided by InsightIDR has shown no issues with scalability; aggregating over one hundred millions events daily."

"InsightIDR helps us investigate an environment to discover information about incidents."

"Rapid7's reporting is more robust than Tenable's."

"Great coverage of all systems within our network from endpoint to firewall."

"Intelligent alerting to avoid the common problem of alert fatigue associated with traditional SIEMs."

More Rapid7 InsightIDR pros

Cons

"ArcSight Security Open Data Platform needs to improve stability. Support has deteriorated after the acquisition of OpenText. It should also improve market awareness."

"The dashboard is an area that could be simplified."

"Customised alert recipients need to be added to allow better first-line action and quicker response."

"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."

"The product allows us to make only 30 custom rules."

"Customised alert recipients need to be added to allow better first-line action and quicker response. Configurable honeypots would be a welcome addition."

"They should add more configuration and security features to it."

"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."

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"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 a reasonably priced solution."

"Rapid7 InsightIDR is a cheaply priced product. On a scale of one to ten, where one is very expensive, and ten is very cheap, I rate the product's price at seven or eight."

"The pricing of the solution depends on the user. But there is a yearly licensing cost."

"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."

"I am sure that there are cheaper products out there, but none that meet so many of our needs whilst maintaining stability and usability."

"Rapid7 InsightIDR charges us based on the endpoints we connect to."

"The pricing and licensing are competitive."
