Provides granular queries of security logs and real-time alerting helps me mitigate risks
The real-time alerting helps me mitigate risks. For example, someone adds a member to the domain admin group. We have an alert set up, so if someone does this unexpectedly, we get notified. Then, we can check and verify if the action is legitimate or a potential threat to the environment.
Karthick Selvam - PeerSpot reviewer
A cloud solution to collect and analyse logs with timely support
We should understand the basic concepts of Rapid7 InsightOps. We are using Rapid7 InsightOps to collect and analyze data. We need to ensure that our environment is suitable before proceeding. The solution is user-friendly and support all environment like Linux, Windows, CentOS, etc. It is suitable for all. Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution's most valuable aspect is that it can be fully integrated with Microsoft solutions and it doesn't impact the productivity order."
"In terms of features, the querying is great."
"The ability to browse logs from multiple sources at the same time really speeds up root cause analysis."
"The machine learning algorithms in Rapid7 InsightIDR for threat detection work quite effectively as part of the user entity behavior analytic model, allowing us to focus group normal typical behavior of users and then turn on the rule to spot any unexpected behavior."
"We can save logs as plain text."
"Integration of InsightOps with other tools, especially SIEM solutions, has generally improved operational efficiency."
"The most valuable feature of Rapid7 InsightOps is the search functionality."
"It has the ability to alert and track logs from different sources."
 

Cons

"The pricing could be improved. It needs to be reduced."
"The customer service and support could improve their approach to questioning issues. They tend to ask questions one at a time, which creates a lot of back-and-forth communication."
"There are a few things I would like to do with a few more complex queries which I am not able to do right now, because it is a SaaS solution."
"Rapid7 InsightOps could improve by making the search query better. There are times when the search query is broken and it does not find anything."
"Since I used the beta, improvements are to be expected. The dashboard options could have been clearer, but I believe it is more a problem with the limited documentation available at the time."
"The solution takes a little bit of time when we load the website for the first time."
"Improvement is needed in the dashboard of InsightOps, especially for less technical users."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is per user. The cost is approximately $15/user on a yearly basis. If you need to, you can always upgrade as well."
"The product is cheap."
