CEO at Forte IT Solutions
Have faced integration challenges but continue to benefit from strong security and proactive response features
The biggest advantage of the product, as I see it as a reseller, is its security and reporting. The automated incident response feature in Comodo MDR works fantastic. When customers install custom tailor-made software which is not recognized by Comodo MDR endpoint detection response tool, it runs in an isolated environment, virtual environment, sandbox environment. If it determines that this software is not secure, not verified, or not approved by system admin, it blocks the software immediately. The software will not run, and it sends a report to the admin email instantly. If there is any issue with the software or if any incident such as a malware attack or ransomware attack is happening, or something is trying to make changes to the system files, it immediately blocks the software tool and reports back to the admin. As a reseller partner and secondary admin for the customers, my team and I directly receive a mail, and we take control of that machine. It even blocks complete network access to that machine. On the hardware side, if there is a hard disk full or RAM 90% usage or CPU 90% usage or any of these incidents, we set up an alert notification option for it. The moment these incidents occur, it sends an alert so we can recommend customers upgrade their hardware or check if there is any malfunctioning software consuming too much RAM and CPU. This incident response use case helps us keep customer machines' performance to the maximum. The 24/7 monitoring capability supports a lot in contributing to our cybersecurity strategy. It is very much compatible with our goal.

Comprehensive detection has strengthened real-time protection and streamlined investigations
My experience with detection and response capabilities for Microsoft-centric environments has been positive. While API integration can be challenging with some third-party tools, Microsoft's built-in features facilitate seamless communication. I have found it relatively easy to triage and integrate Microsoft systems with Rapid7 MDR. In terms of digital forensics and incident response included in the MDR service, my experience is that it is not very robust. We lack a dedicated forensic team, which is essential for thorough investigation. Rapid7 has introduced honeypots, which is an encouraging feature, but it is not a comprehensive solution such as those offered by competitors, such as Palo Alto's Unit 42. Apart from forensics, I believe Rapid7 MDR should introduce more forensic services. Another area to improve is the active platform's handling of on-premises tools versus cloud-based tools. We prefer on-premises options for data security, and we find limitations in features compared to cloud-based tools, concerning data access and privacy controls.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product is fairly new compared to others like Trend Micro or Symantec. However, it offers sophisticated features, especially in scanning and analyzing activities on workstations or servers. It can prevent malicious operations from spreading to other applications or the network. This feature is particularly effective because it operates at the IO level, unlike behavior or signature analysis used by other products. It contains threats and alerts administrators about whether they are false positives or real threats that need immediate action or support recommendations."
"The automated incident response feature in Comodo MDR works fantastic; when customers install custom tailor-made software which is not recognized by Comodo MDR, it runs in an isolated environment, and if it determines the software is not secure, it blocks it immediately and sends a report to the admin."
"One of the most valuable features is its around-the-clock, 365-day-a-year online technical support."
"However, it offers sophisticated features, especially in scanning and analyzing activities on workstations or servers."
"Instead of dedicating resources for around-the-clock monitoring, Rapid7 MDR acts as an extension of our security team, saving man-hours each month while improving detection and response capabilities."
"The features of Rapid7 MDR that I find most effective for threat detection are the threat intelligence capabilities because it already collects many vulnerabilities and exploitations, as well as the configuration of network devices."
"Despite the pricing being a consideration, I always recommend Rapid7 MDR first."
"All stakeholders claim that Rapid7 MDR is very effective at identifying threats in today's AI era."
"From my perspective, Rapid7 MDR is a really good product that is easy to implement and use."
"We've filled in crucial gaps we had with our previous solution. This was a key factor in choosing Rapid7 during the selection process. The ROI is already starting to show, too."
"The main benefits that Rapid7 MDR provides for me as an end-user are the security and that they are available 24 hours a day, always."
"Overall, Rapid7 MDR helps us to strengthen our security operations by providing continuous monitoring, high quality threat detection, and expert analysis support."
 

Cons

"Users pay $60 per user per year, and in case there is an issue, support tickets take nearly three days or sometimes even more for a clear resolution or an answer."
"I think having a higher level of MDR would be beneficial, although it's quite expensive."
"I think having a higher level of MDR would be beneficial, although it's quite expensive. This would involve not just monitoring the network but also taking actions to stop and detect threats. We haven't implemented this yet, but we're considering it for our organization's plans."
"They should consider adopting the desktop version as a solution."
"To improve Rapid7 MDR, I suggest enhancing detection and reporting, including customizable dashboards and more dynamic alert detection rules based on anomalies."
"Regarding improvements for Rapid7 MDR, the only thing I can mention is the costing structure, which is a little bit premium; I understand that top products come at a premium rate."
"The price of Rapid7 MDR could definitely be lower, as these are expensive systems, especially if you have the MDR."
"Evaluating the customer service and technical support teams of Rapid7 MDR, I would rate them a six out of ten."
"The primary improvement would be deeper native integration with third-party non-Rapid7 cloud security tools to reduce the portal pivoting."
"We cannot allow it to go outside because we do not have that level of trust at the moment."
"AI is present, and I think Rapid7 MDR could add good reporting, more reporting, and perhaps more templates in the future to make the product even better."
"Regarding Rapid7's support team, I must say that their response time is not as quick as I would prefer. While they do respond, it can take a few days or even a week to get on a call."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool's pricing is high compared to other products. If you want to target a certain quantity, it should provide discounts to enterprises."
"The pricing falls within the moderate range."
"The product is not overly priced."
