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.

Providing comprehensive insight into alerts while working towards AI enhancement

I definitely recommend Rapid7 InsightIDR. It is becoming better, with improvements being continuously made to the product. Right now, I do not have any advice about Rapid7 for other users because every organization or user has different criteria or multiple use cases, so I refrain from commenting on that. I rate the overall solution seven out of ten.

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 integrity management. I had some discussions with service providers, and they also agreed."

"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."

"Even if you change a single word in Notepad, it will let you know whether it was added, removed, or modified."

"Its reporting features are great. It gives you an in-depth report. Its customization is also great, and it is working fine."

"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."

"The product supports different platforms."

"File monitoring is the most valuable feature of the solution."

"The most valuable feature is the integrity."

"During simulations or demonstrations, the tool generates alerts, providing details such as the specific application, its origin, and potential threats. For instance, it can identify if an application belongs to a known ransomware group. The system rates the threat, offering a clear detection ratio, such as 97 out of 100. It not only identifies threats but also illustrates the associated behaviors, helping us understand the potential risk to a particular endpoint."

"The log aggregation and storage provided by InsightIDR has shown no issues with scalability; aggregating over one hundred millions events daily."

"I like that it's a cloud-based solution."

"Simple configuration and automatically syncs to the cloud platform."

"The platform offers unlimited storage and agent-based solutions."

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

"User behavioral analytics allows us to pinpoint abnormal or suspicious behavior among millions of events every day."

"Another very important part of insightIDR is the ability to collect data from endpoint devices via agent software. With a large remote workforce, this allows visibility into the endpoints that are connected to the internet, but not to the corporate network."

Cons

"The main way that it can be improved is through better reporting."

"Cloud monitoring could be better. It would also be better if the company followed a pay-as-you-use model."

"It needs more local support from the OEM side. It would be great if this can be improved."

"The initial setup is complex."

"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 Windows online integration license needs to be improved."

"A lot of network devices need a custom integration."

"The deployment with certain systems can be difficult and it needs to be simplified."

"It would be useful to import threat intelligence in YARA format along with known incorrect email addresses."

"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."

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

"Customised alert recipients need to be added to allow better first-line action and quicker response. Configurable honeypots would be a welcome addition."

"InsightIDR is only available in a cloud version. Some of our customers prefer an on-prem solution because they want to manage the security within their environment."

"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."

"I feel it would greatly benefit from more supported log sources."

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."

"Licensing is straightforward. If, for some reason, you don’t meet the minimum licensing requirements, there is a third-party managed service that can help."

"The pricing of the solution depends on the user. But there is a yearly licensing cost."

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

"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."

"It is a reasonably priced solution."

"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."

"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 and licensing are competitive."
