Information Security Engineer at ICT Misr

Advanced threat detection capabilities with comprehensive incident response features providing robust cybersecurity for organizations

The initial aspect concerns two engines. The first one mentioned is available for searching behaviors directly. The second engine involves the Google Ade tool, which operates on the machine. The challenge arises when attempting to rectify protection rules, causing confusion. It would be beneficial to enhance Rigixs Query. I encounter difficulty removing certain entries in behavior or alerts; likewise, I am unable to add specific calls.

SohailHyder

Head of Cyber Security at Super Secure

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's technical support is perfect, so I rate the technical support a ten out of ten"

"After rack and stack, devices were up and running base configurations within two hours. As with any IPS, tuning is required to stop false positives. This is no different, but the ease of use of the interface allowed my team to start making adjustments within a few hours."

"It has also improved our hunt ability with quick search tools, to zone in on malware or other anomalies. It is able to link items to incidents from other consoles, and works natively with the SIEM."

"There are many valuable features. The NDR gives very good network visibility, and the endpoint module has a great feature called "Live Connect" for remote connections. They also have "Tasks" that can be run on endpoints to gather specific information or retrieve logs."

"What I like the most about this solution is the complexity. It covers a lot of areas, unlike other solutions."

"Reporting is great, it is easy to do a quick search through 45 days of data for something of interest."

"The initial setup is very straightforward. The deployment of the server doesn't take so long; about a day or two max."

"It ensures the stability of network behavior across various aspects of our network and offers responsive capabilities to address incidents promptly"

More Fidelis Elevate pros

"If you were on other solutions, you would notice that they use agents from third-party, from open-source, from a native OS, or from other tools. Here, however, it is an agent from Rapid7 itself. This adds to the solution's overall capabilities."

"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten. As a cloud tool, the product is highly scalable."

"I am able to run automated actions based on the output of reports, leaving me extra time to focus on more pressing matters."

"The technical support is a solid 10 out of 10 as they take the time to answer any questions or problems which may arise in a reasonable time frame."

"The solution's initial setup is easy."

"The alerting to drive investigations and remediation has been its most valuable feature."

"InsightIDR’s ability to process millions of transactions per day, and to notify me of the most critical ones, is priceless. InsightIDR has the alerts tuned, and has the ability to quickly drill down to determine the threat level."

"Rapid7 InsightIDR integrates well with other solutions. It's also easy to configure because Rapid7 InsightIDR has a lot of instructions posted on their website that customers can follow if they need to get the source log."

More Rapid7 InsightIDR pros

Cons

"The reports in the endpoint area of Elevate can be improved."

"Configuration, in terms of building the collector and communicating with endpoints, is complex."

"The interface bug needs to be squashed once and for all. This has been the predominant issue with an otherwise stellar product. It reboots itself unscheduled, about once a month, due to a memory buffer flaw in the interface."

"I encounter difficulty removing certain entries in behavior or alerts; likewise, I am unable to add specific calls."

"We position the solution as an antivirus, but this part of the solution needs improvement. They need to generally enhance the features that they have, rather than adding anything new."

"There is room for improvement in email security. It's a security issue. If you're aiming for XDR, covering the entire threat landscape is crucial."

"Fidelis Endpoint is an expensive product making it one of its shortcomings that needs improvement."

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

"Sometimes, it is hard to get the right queries to use. Currently, the tool lacks a pre-made set of queries."

"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."

"InsightIDR's integration with other solutions could be improved. Also, I'd like more control from the portal over what's happening on the endpoint side. For example, when I see an attack on an endpoint, I want to be able to stop it from the portal."

"The dashboard is an area that could be simplified."

"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."

"It takes time for the product's support team to resolve issues, making it an area of concern where improvements are required."

"Currently, it lacks the functionalities provided by Rapid7's User Behavior Analytics (UBA)."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"You license by the number of days of logs you need to maintain visibility for. Forty-five days is a good solid number for a company with around a 10k user base."

"Fidelis Endpoint is an expensive product. My company makes yearly payments toward the licensing cost of the solution."

"It's somehow expensive. From one to ten, I would rate it a five. They need to improve the prices. It's very high."

"It's quite expensive but we can customize it to reduce the price."

"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."

"Accurately predict your licensing counts as this is a subscription based product."

"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."

"I rate Rapid7 InsightIDR's price a four on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."

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

"The pricing and licensing are competitive."
