Has strengthened privileged access control and improved audit visibility through session monitoring and password rotation

On the identity product side, it is awesome. However, they can improve in the documentation parts. For example, if there is a migration process, I can see the maximum customers are moving from self-hosted to on-premises or from on-premises to the cloud. It would be helpful if they released a generalized document for processes such as migration. A clear overview document would assist us in understanding more about the tool, configurations, and automations to enhance our security. Regarding the initial setup of CyberArk Identity, I faced some challenges. At some points, I could not find proper documentation for deploying, enhancing, or integrating with other components. I could not find the proper documentation in the community portal.

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 solution helps with auditing, and monitoring, and integrates with Splunk for log analysis. User activity logs are captured in CyberArk Identity and sent to external tools like Splunk for analysis and monitoring."

"The best feature of CyberArk Identity is the single sign-on feature that offers quick and one-click access."

"It has machine learning and can help clients to learn the environment and understand what is happening."

"If anyone makes an error, or if an incident occurs by accident, the business will not be harmed as a result of this activity."

"CyberArk Identity's ability to safeguard financial services infrastructure is good."

"The setup, via cloud, is simple."

"The features that I personally find most effective in terms of security stem from the fact that it is easy to integrate and also the adoption is faster."

"The user identification is simplified, and managing user privileges, whether adding or revoking them, is also quite straightforward when utilizing CyberArk SaaS."

More CyberArk Identity pros

"I have seen that Rapid7 InsightIDR provides security to the networks and endpoints in the company."

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

"The UI is very good."

"Dashboards, including the main screen, provide much-needed information at a glance, without hours of coding and sifting through logs to find it. In case of an actual security incident, I have faith that insightIDR has retained all logs in a secure manner that prevents log tampering as well."

"The solution is very stable and works very well for what I need it to do."

"Rapid7 InsightIDR is budget-friendly and has a good market position because not everybody can afford to go for LogRhythm or Splunk or QRadar."

"I definitely recommend Rapid7 InsightIDR."

"The web interface is great — very useful and user-friendly."

More Rapid7 InsightIDR pros

Cons

"The solution could be easier to use and I found it to be very complex involving many steps."

"Integration or deployment is extremely difficult for CyberArk Identity."

"When you translate the page from one language to another, it can be a difficult process. The translation isn't always good, and it may have a completely different name. I've noticed this in the English to Spanish translation."

"The user interface could be improved."

"In terms of general user feedback, the more security you put in front of a user, the more they complain. So usability and the user experience are always a challenge. So there's always room for improvement."

"One area for improvement is the complexity of the learning curve for new users."

"They could improve their UI and make everything more user-friendly."

"The product is not cheap, especially if you opt for an on-premise deployment requiring a complex server infrastructure. On the other hand, choosing the software as a service version simplifies infrastructure requirements but necessitates being online all the time."

More CyberArk Identity cons

"The searching feature in Rapid7 InsightIDR needs to evolve"

"Tenable Nessus is easier to deal with. It's more efficient and accurate. InsightIDR is heavier than Tenable in terms of performance and scanning. Rapid7 would be much easier to use if it had a network connector like Tenable. Tenable's connector allows continuous monitoring over the B caps."

"The integration capabilities of the solution have certain shortcomings where improvements are required."

"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."

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

"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."

"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."

"I would like to see more development in InsightIDR towards building their SIEM solution and converting it to XDR."

More Rapid7 InsightIDR cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is acceptable. It is worth considering what we are protecting with the amount charged."

"There could be some additional costs apart from the licensing costs of the solution when you want to develop connectors in CyberArk Identity."

"Their pricing is obviously a lot higher than many vendors in the marketplace but their service is also unmatched."

"We find that the pricing and licensing of this solution is adequate, as compared to the other competitors in the market."

"I would rate the tool’s pricing a seven out of ten. The product’s pricing is expensive and is on a yearly basis. You will need to pay around 10,000 GBP for 500 users."

"There is an initial license and then there is a subscription needed."

"CyberArk Identity is an expensive solution."

"In terms of pricing, BeyondTrust and CyberArk tend to be more expensive, with CyberArk receiving an eight out of ten, in this regard."

More CyberArk Identity pricing and cost advice

"It is on a yearly basis. For our own company, for about 250 users, it was 16,000 euros a year."

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

"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."

"The pricing is good, and it is not very expensive."

"The solution has a mid-range price point in the market"

"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."

"Rapid7 InsightIDR is priced very well and is cost-effective."
