IAM Senior Software Engineer at MGM Resorts International
Centralized log onboarding has transformed root-cause analysis and streamlined alert-driven triage
I do not use automations within CrowdStrike Falcon Next-Gen SIEM at this point, but that is something that we want to do in the future. Maybe I did not experiment or did not investigate, but if we can get alerts based upon the CPU utilizations and the metrics over there, probably that would make this one tool used for everything. Actually, the circumstances that prompted my company to explore new SIEM solutions maybe include a point where the storage space or the license that we have, probably compared to other SIEM products, they have more, or the pricing and sales that go into the picture there. Again, that is above my pay grade to comment on, but it probably could be better if we can provide more storage of the data for the license that has been provided for organizations.

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 search and query language stand out for me because they are more flexible and composable compared to other tools I have used, such as QRadar or ArcSight."
"CrowdStrike Falcon Next-Gen SIEM has significantly changed the speed at which our team searches, investigates, and responds to security events because it provides a comprehensive overview of network activities."
"The dialogue primarily focused on introductory information about my role and experience."
"Fleet Manager Management, from which I can manage and deploy configurations to LogScale Collectors remotely without needing access to the machines where I collect logs is quite useful."
"CrowdStrike Falcon Next-Gen SIEM provides centralized visibility into security events, which helps analysts quickly identify related activities and investigate suspicious behavior."
"The speed with which my team searches, investigates, and responds to security events has saved us more than 70% of the time by having the sources integrated in one place, and thanks to Falcon MCP, we can use AI to save time."
"Free EDR telemetry integration into the SIEM, eliminating extra ingestion costs. Fast query speed on complex searches. Platform consolidation: EDR + SIEM + SOAR in one, replacing several isolated tools and reducing overall cost. Out-of-the-box detection rules you can enable almost immediately. Native Fusion SOAR with growing automation capabilities, including custom Python scripts in workflows. Continuous platform development that evolves with your needs. Case management built into the platform. Very stable, including the shared EDR agent. Highly scalable with plenty of connectors and integration methods. Straightforward migration from the previous EDR."
"CrowdStrike Falcon Next-Gen SIEM has drastically changed the speed at which my team searches, investigates, and responds to security events, enabling analysts to save quite a bit of time, around 70% I would say, and making our ways of working more efficient."
"They can subscribe to Rapid7 because it is more valuable and delivers a greater return on investment."
"Enables the use of honey pots, honey users, and honey files to monitor for suspicious patterns."
"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."
"InsightIDR has allowed us to find potential security issues that we did not know existed, and get remediation quickly."
"I like the tool's user analysis feature."
"I definitely recommend Rapid7 InsightIDR."
"I have seen that Rapid7 InsightIDR provides security to the networks and endpoints in the company."
"The biggest reason why we chose Rapid7 was to gain value in a really quick time. Its deployment doesn't take months. It just takes a few days."
 

Cons

"I think CrowdStrike Falcon Next-Gen SIEM could be improved with optimization of the internal audit process because today not all internal metrics are reflected in CrowdStrike's internal logs in the internal log repositories."
"My opinion about the artificial intelligence is that Charlotte works well, but it is not entirely intelligent; sometimes it is better to use our own Anthropic or OpenAI models for better results."
"CrowdStrike Falcon Next-Gen SIEM could improve in the whole data ingestion and processing pipeline, as well as the storage capacity, to extend it beyond one year."
"I think CrowdStrike Falcon Next-Gen SIEM could be improved in the way lookup tables work, particularly concerning the limitations of the number of rows, and enhancements in workflow creation to make it more intuitive and easier to manage searches from within workflows."
"CrowdStrike Falcon Next-Gen SIEM can be improved with the Fusion Workflow. Some integrations, specifically APIs, could be improved because there are so many different formats, so it's not consistent."
"The number one thing that would be an improvement for me is making dashboard creation easier."
"I think CrowdStrike Falcon Next-Gen SIEM could improve with full integration with other tools."
"Maybe I did not experiment or did not investigate, but if we can get alerts based upon the CPU utilizations and the metrics over there, probably that would make this one tool used for everything."
"One thing that springs to mind is easier API integration with ITSMs. We are evaluating a new ITSM and I would like to have InsightIDR create a ticket when an attack is identified, and the ticket would be closed in InsightIDR when the ITSM resolution is completed. This would take out the "single point of failure" we currently have, if the email recipient is somehow absent, in recording the risk appetite for the incident and the actions taken to mitigate or not."
"Needs a better ability to customize the check within the console."
"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."
"They should add more configuration and security features to it."
"If we pitch Rapid7 InsightIDR against solutions such as SIEMs from Splunk or LogRhythm, it is not as customizable as a SIEM solution is."
"There is a future in AI with Rapid7, however, it is not fully operated. There are certain limitations with Rapid7 that I am working on."
"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."
"Personally, I feel it would greatly benefit from more supported log sources."
 

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."
"It is on a yearly basis. For our own company, for about 250 users, it was 16,000 euros a year."
"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."
"The team is very willing to work with companies. My suggestion is to call the Rapid7 sales department and see how they can help.​"
"​Accurately predict your licensing counts as this is a subscription based product.​"
"​I am sure that there are cheaper products out there, but none that meet so many of our needs whilst maintaining stability and usability.​"
"It is more reasonably priced than other vendors."
"Rapid7 InsightIDR charges us based on the endpoints we connect to."
