Senior Cybersecurity Analyst at a energy/utilities company with 1,001-5,000 employees
It has excellent scalability and allows you to execute custom COCR rules, letting you fine-tune agent monitoring
I'm using Tripwire Enterprise version 9.0. In my company, thirty to forty people use Tripwire Enterprise, mainly different types of engineers, governance, risk, compliance, and cybersecurity personnel. I advise people planning to use Tripwire Enterprise to take the training because the solution has a fairly complex interface. You can do a lot of work with it, but it isn't very easy. Tripwire Enterprise is a sophisticated tool. I rate the tool an eight on a scale of one to ten because it does an excellent job of handling the unique challenges of maintaining NERC CIP compliance and monitoring industrial controls.

Provides strong detection capabilities but requires improvements in parsing and stability
I cannot think of any specific features that LogRhythm SIEM can improve upon since it supports a wide variety of major vendors. However, they need to improve their parsing techniques; the tool should understand various devices and present data in a human-readable format. For example, if a personal Android mobile needs to be integrated, LogRhythm SIEM should be able to parse that data effectively. They also need to improve their database of supported devices to cover smaller vendors alongside the major players, allowing for better global reach and usability. I have noticed some problems with parsing errors, event mismatches, and data mismatching, so ensuring accurate parsing and continuous improvement according to device updates are my basic expectations as a detection engineer.
SohailHyder - PeerSpot reviewer
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 most valuable feature is the integrity, because if the file configuration has been modified this solution calculates a hash code of the file and, if someone has changed the file, the solution will recalculate the hash and the admin receives a notice that the file has been modified, by sending an email or an alert to the administrator that someone has modified, added, or deleted a line, not just in files but also in tables metadata and network device configurations."
"The most valuable feature is the integrity."
"We use Tripwire Enterprise as a tool to test the vulnerability of a network. That is the most valuable feature of the product for us."
"File monitoring is the most valuable feature of the solution."
"The product supports different platforms."
"What's most valuable in Tripwire Enterprise is the ability to execute custom COCR rules that lets me fine-tune how I monitor Linux and Windows agents."
"I would recommend to anybody to try out Tripwire Enterprise."
"The most valuable feature is integrity management. I had some discussions with service providers, and they also agreed."
"LogRhythm is better than QRadar from the point of view of collecting Windows events."
"Quicker ability to troubleshoot the problem, find the problem, get it fixed, and get the customers back up and using our system."
"We now have a central point of monitoring for all potential threats."
"It's definitely given us a lot of visibility into areas that we probably wouldn't have normal visibility into, such as code execution and things like that."
"The vendor team was one of the best we have ever worked with and they were able to work through issues not covered in their implementation manuals quickly and without further support."
"The visibility that it gives us into all of our data at once."
"So far we're pretty happy with the overall functionality of the system."
"When I say LogRhythm is a mature product, I mean it covers all 360 degrees for SIEM requirements which is not there in the other products."
"InsightIDR’s ability to process millions of transactions per day, and to notify me of the most critical ones, is priceless."
"The platform offers unlimited storage and agent-based solutions."
"The UI is very good."
"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."
"It gives all the advantages of a SIEM, however, using clever AI, it looks for patterns of behavior rather than just flooding me with all the alerts."
"It improves because several sensors are deployed within the on-premise environment. It can be very efficient if the customer implements and operates it effectively."
"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 cost-effective because they are not charging based on the EPS but on the number of assets."
 

Cons

"It needs more local support from the OEM side."
"The deployment with certain systems can be difficult and it needs to be simplified."
"Cloud monitoring could be better. It would also be better if the company followed a pay-as-you-use model."
"There are several errors when deploying this solution to AIX systems, but with the help of support, it can be done."
"An area for improvement in Tripwire Enterprise is stability, as my company had stability issues with the last few versions of the solution. Tripwire Enterprise has been a bit buggy."
"The main way that it can be improved is through better reporting."
"The stability of Tripwire Enterprise has room for improvement, but it's about 75% what it should be already."
"The Windows online integration license needs to be improved."
"It’s very easy to overwhelm the system. I have some of the beefiest data that they provide, and I can still overrun the system."
"I would like to see more integration with more products that are out there within the same security field."
"The customer support system is time-consuming."
"More seminars. Reporting: A reporting tool would be good for us, especially if we have better knowledge of them."
"The built-in functionality of the solution for NDR, SOAR, SIEM, and EDS has room for improvement."
"The ability to customize certain features of the product."
"The main area of improvement is that the client must be installed on the computer for all of the functions to work."
"Their ticketing system for managing cases can be improved. The current system works and gets the job done, but it is very bare-bones and basic."
"The reporting is the weakest aspect. There needs to be multi-level grouping for events (for example, group by user and destination)."
"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."
"Personally, I feel it would greatly benefit from more supported log sources."
"The APIs can be further improved in Rapid7."
"Cloud risk assessment is one area where I think they need a lot of improvement."
"One of the things that could be better is digital forensics. It is there, but it can be better."
"There are certain limitations with Rapid7 that I am working on."
"Rapid7 InsightIDR is not intuitive to search for logs. It should be more user-friendly and improve the dashboards. We should be able to use ready-made templates instead of having to build one."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Cloud monitoring could be better. It could also be cheaper. It would be better if the company followed a pay-as-you-use model."
"The licensing depends on the equipment, how many devices and the types of devices."
"Tripwire is more expensive than Netwrix."
"Everything is expensive with LogRhythm, and you don't get anything for free."
"We work with French-speaking African countries, and it costs more than the average SIEM solution. Also, the pricing isn't too flexible. AlienVault, Splunk, and IBM QRadar are more suitable for customers on a tight budget."
"I give the price a six out of ten."
"We did a five-year agreement. We pay close to a quarter of a million dollars for our solution."
"The support which allows more customized to the environment when we are deploying new systems is called Professional Service and is very expensive. The technical annual support and there is an annual fee."
"The pricing is very reasonable and accessible compared to other products in the market but I am not very sure about the exact licensing cost per year for our company."
"Look for whatever will give you the most value. That's the main point. It is not one size fits all."
"In the context of our country, the price of this solution is too high."
"​Accurately predict your licensing counts as this is a subscription based product.​"
"The pricing is good, and it is not very expensive."
"Rapid7 InsightIDR is priced very well and is cost-effective."
"The team is very willing to work with companies. My suggestion is to call the Rapid7 sales department and see how they can help.​"
"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."
"The pricing and licensing are competitive."
"Rapid7 InsightIDR charges us based on the endpoints we connect to."
"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."
