Featured Reviews

Shitanshu Kumar - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Prajwal Chougale - PeerSpot reviewer
SOC L2 Analyst at a tech services company with 51-200 employees
Centralized threat hunting has improved alert accuracy and simplifies incident investigations
I would say there are two areas for improvement: the reporting dashboard that provides insights or reports weekly or monthly lacks detailed information about how logs are being ingested. While the details are there, they could be more concise and easier to understand for any level of authority. The second area is alert tuning; compared to Microsoft Sentinel, Rapid7 InsightIDR provides fewer alerts with more static alert functionality and lacks dynamic alerting exposures. There could be improvements to learn from past alert activities for more dynamic alert configurations. These two areas are the main areas for improvement; everything else is good.

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."
"Simple configuration and automatically syncs to the cloud platform."
"Great coverage of all systems within our network from endpoint to firewall."
"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."
"​​User behavioral analytics allows us to pinpoint abnormal or suspicious behavior among millions of events every day."
"Log search allows us to dive deep into aggregated logs and query all event types at once.​"
"The ability to ingest Office 365 log files, then process them into events and display them on a map."
"The solution's initial setup is easy."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten. As a cloud tool, the product is highly scalable."
 

Cons

"ArcSight Security Open Data Platform needs to improve stability. Support has deteriorated after the acquisition of OpenText. It should also improve market awareness."
"It takes time for the product's support team to resolve issues, making it an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The dashboard is an area that could be simplified. For management, it should be clear and the files should be there."
"Sometimes, it is hard to get the right queries to use. Currently, the tool lacks a pre-made set of queries."
"The main problem lies in the processes within the client's operating systems."
"It would be useful to import threat intelligence in YARA format along with known incorrect email addresses.​"
"Customised alert recipients need to be added to allow better first-line action and quicker response. Configurable honeypots would be a welcome addition."
"Lacks a mobile application."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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 team is very willing to work with companies. My suggestion is to call the Rapid7 sales department and see how they can help.​"
"​I am sure that there are cheaper products out there, but none that meet so many of our needs whilst maintaining stability and usability.​"
"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."
"​Accurately predict your licensing counts as this is a subscription based product.​"
"The pricing is good, and it is not very expensive."
"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."
"The solution has a mid-range price point in the market"
