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

"It helped me to unveil the truth, and you must constantly search for new technologies, educate yourself, and use the right solutions to protect your environment."
"It has the best support, quick and professional."
"When it's well tuned, there is no more administrative overload when managing the system, and as a result, you see an ROI in six months."
"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."
"The solution's initial setup is easy."
"It improved my organization by building a security alerting program."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten. As a cloud tool, the product is highly scalable."
"Simple configuration and automatically syncs to the cloud platform."
"Intelligent alerting to avoid the common problem of alert fatigue associated with traditional SIEMs."
"I like the tool's user analysis feature."
"Log search allows us to dive deep into aggregated logs and query all event types at once.​"
 

Cons

"There's no prevention or blocking mechanism, and static IPs for a HoneyPot that even if known, might be ignored by malware."
"Implement prevention features."
"I tested the best products from LastLine and FireEye, but there was always something that turned me off."
"I would like the ability to adjust the threshold of certain existing alerts. Currently the only option is to change the notifications or create my own alert."
"The solution needs improvement in threat intelligence. Increasing the depth of intelligence to help users understand more about threats is a possibility. My suggestion is to expand access to other websites or resources."
"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."
"One thing that springs to mind is easier API integration with ITSMs."
"The searching feature in Rapid7 InsightIDR needs to evolve"
"It takes time for the product's support team to resolve issues, making it an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The main problem lies in the processes within the client's operating systems."
"I'd like to be able to get the compliance report within the solution which is currently not possible."
