Room For Improvement

Data Hub needs better data quality, integration, automation, user experience, and analytics to simplify features for all users.

Rapid7 InsightCloudSec needs UI/UX improvements, better third-party integration, enhanced reporting, and refined risk prioritization and detection capabilities.

Providing consulting or support with professionals who are qualified to use Data Hub would be interesting, along with providing training and certifications for the tool so that those who are implementing it can specialize increasingly in its features.

Henrique dos Anjos

Data Quality Engineer at truelogic

The impact is very positive, and there are many benefits for us using Data Hub because it was easier to make data governance, create centralized metadata management, improve data discoverability, and manage data in general.

reviewer2784462

Software Engineer at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees

I wonder if it can automate the classification exercise, possibly using AI to auto-classify PII direct and indirect items.

Azhagarasan Annadorai

Director at a university with 1-10 employees

Rapid7 InsightCloudSec already provides us real-time feedback loops, but if it also provides real-time feedback to the developers, then it would help the application shift left, meaning the security will shift left as well.

Anshuman Thakur

Site Reliability Engineer at a comms service provider with 501-1,000 employees

Rapid7 InsightCloudSec needs improvements such as AI-driven risk prioritization, proactive cloud risk modeling, advanced IAM privilege analysis, multi-cloud attack path mapping, pre-built automated hardening, defining stronger policy as code support, better container and serverless coverage, and cost optimization insight along with safe auto-remediation with rollback improvements.

Vhalikhede Vhalikhede

Cybersecurity analyst at Cornerstone OnDemand

If you can improve the traditional detection rules to reflect current detection rules, it would make it significantly easier for us to manage, as we constantly need to check legacy rules to update or possibly turn them off. Updating the legacy rules should be a priority.

Setup Cost

Rapid7 InsightCloudSec offers competitive, cost-efficient cloud security management with reasonable pricing, seamless licensing, and straightforward setup.

Regarding experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing, I think if we have a budget of one hundred thousand US dollars, we will be able to deploy a reasonable version and connect to a number of data sources.

Azhagarasan Annadorai

Director at a university with 1-10 employees

It costs about zero since, if we win the setup, it probably results in no cost.

Anhnq Ho

Finance Feedback Committee at MB Shinsei Finance Limited Liability Company

It is cheaper.

ChennaRao Vemula

Senior Cloud Security Engineer at a educational organization with 10,001+ employees

The more numbers you have, the less costly the product becomes, as licensing operates on volume.

Innocent Letlhogela

Junior systems engineer at a tech services company with 11-50 employees

While it was not overly expensive, I do wish for more discounts for bulk purchases since we have implemented it widely across our cloud security posture.

Metadata management has streamlined lineage tracking and data discovery for our teams

The best features Data Hub offers include its integration capability with many popular tools like Apache Airflow, Snowflake, dbt, Looker, Apache Kafka, and BigQuery. These tools provide us with data in various places, and we commonly use Apache Airflow for the DAG, while utilizing BigQuery as our database and Apache Kafka for consuming messaging queues. Data Hub easily connects with all these tools and features excellent data discovery and visualization capabilities. We can see data visibility, where it comes from, its upstream and downstream relationships. If we remove a column, we can assess the impact of that change. Furthermore, if there are duplicate datasets being used by different teams that do not communicate regularly, onboarding all data to Data Hub allows us to identify these duplicates easily. Out of all those features, I believe data discovery and impact analysis are the most valuable for my team because when we want to add or drop a column, we can assess the impact analysis to understand the downstream effects. This helps us know who owns a dataset, and we can easily contact the owner. Tracking the data lineage back to the source table is also a key benefit. Data Hub has positively impacted my organization by significantly reducing manual work that was previously needed to identify upstream and downstream data relationships, as well as recognizing duplicate datasets. If a data contract is broken, we now easily get notified of those issues, making the process much easier and more efficient. It is particularly useful for data engineers and platform teams to check for problems directly within Data Hub. Data Hub has saved our team a lot of time. For example, in a large company like Porch, if I want to know whether a specific dataset exists, I can check Data Hub, as it serves as a centralized point for managing the metadata of our data. While it does not contain all data, it does contain the metadata necessary for understanding the dataset's origin. If a dataset does not exist, I can simply see who the owner is and reach out to them, which reduces the dependency on others by providing direct access to information in Data Hub.

Daily endpoint monitoring has improved investigations and saved time but detection rules still need tuning

It is important to note that Rapid7 InsightCloudSec's features are not 100% precise, but I find about 70% of the time it is satisfactory. I would like to suggest that you improve it to be more precise, ideally making it 100% if possible. Some cases in Rapid7 InsightCloudSec indicate that the log is not enough, as they mostly just generate alerts, and the synchronization between data connectors is often problematic, particularly in terms of not being in sync always, especially between the AD and Rapid7 alerts, which generates numerous false positives. Additionally, the traditional rules should be updated, as this is a main point worth mentioning since we spend a lot of time fine-tuning these traditional rules. I suggest improving the legacy detection rules. If there are any authentication cases, such as impossible travel activity where a user has their SharePoint hosted in a different location, Rapid7 can often trigger alerts, creating confusion as we cannot fine-tune it properly. Another issue is with honeypot access. We sometimes lack necessary logs because Defender's advanced threat protection scanning gets detected as honeypot activity by Rapid7, leading to annoying and noisy alerts that we need to constantly close. If you can improve the traditional detection rules to reflect current detection rules, it would make it significantly easier for us to manage, as we constantly need to check legacy rules to update or possibly turn them off. Updating the legacy rules should be a priority.
