Featured Reviews

Hariharan Thangasamy - PeerSpot reviewer
Cybersecurity Delivery Analyst at Accenture
Has strengthened privileged access control and improved audit visibility through session monitoring and password rotation
On the identity product side, it is awesome. However, they can improve in the documentation parts. For example, if there is a migration process, I can see the maximum customers are moving from self-hosted to on-premises or from on-premises to the cloud. It would be helpful if they released a generalized document for processes such as migration. A clear overview document would assist us in understanding more about the tool, configurations, and automations to enhance our security. Regarding the initial setup of CyberArk Identity, I faced some challenges. At some points, I could not find proper documentation for deploying, enhancing, or integrating with other components. I could not find the proper documentation in the community portal.
Prajwal Chougale - PeerSpot reviewer
SOC L2 Analyst at a tech services company with 51-200 employees
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

"We haven't encountered any problems with respect to the stability of this solution; it is very stable."
"The initial setup of CyberArk Identity was straightforward."
"CyberArk Identity is a mature product."
"The initial setup is straightforward, and it takes me up to an hour and a half."
"The tool is a very strong and valuable enterprise solution, particularly in ensuring the continuity of service."
"I like the RBAC (Role-Based Access Control). It basically involves defining various roles, and then simply assigning those roles to users."
"The support of CyberArk Identity is really good."
"It has aided in troubleshooting by allowing logs to be extracted and sent to a correlation engine, such as QRadar, for notifications or alerts."
"They can subscribe to Rapid7 because it is more valuable and delivers a greater return on investment."
"InsightIDR has allowed us to find potential security issues that we did not know existed, and get remediation quickly."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten. As a cloud tool, the product is highly scalable."
"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."
"Rapid7 InsightIDR has positively impacted my organization by capturing most logs and every minute detail, including endpoint logs, network logs, and any email-related logs if a malicious link has been clicked."
"Rapid7 InsightIDR is budget-friendly and has a good market position because not everybody can afford to go for LogRhythm or Splunk or QRadar."
"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."
"Log search allows us to dive deep into aggregated logs and query all event types at once.​"
 

Cons

"They could improve their UI and make everything more user-friendly."
"Integration or deployment is extremely difficult for CyberArk Identity."
"When you translate the page from one language to another, it can be a difficult process. The translation isn't always good, and it may have a completely different name. I've noticed this in the English to Spanish translation."
"Room for improvement for CyberArk Identity might be on the support side, as they constantly improve with new features and remove redundant ones, integrating multiple steps into a single one for easier use; however, this is not just CyberArk Identity, as many vendors start with basic troubleshooting services without recognizing that knowledgeable users often reach out after exhausting those options."
"One area for improvement is the complexity of the learning curve for new users."
"You can do many things in it, but you need a lot of knowledge about dependencies of many things, so it requires time and big knowledge, and for the customer, it's a tough task now."
"It was pretty complex to implement CyberArk Identity. We had some help from a partner, and that helped a lot. But even for the partner, it was really difficult to streamline the process of implementing."
"More integrations would be better."
"I would like to see more development in InsightIDR towards building their SIEM solution and converting it to XDR."
"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."
"Sometimes, it is hard to get the right queries to use. Currently, the tool lacks a pre-made set of queries."
"I'd like to see a mobile application included and some feature related to the generality of segregation for internal users that access the application."
"If we pitch Rapid7 InsightIDR against solutions such as SIEMs from Splunk or LogRhythm, it is not as customizable as a SIEM solution is."
"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."
"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."
"Cloud risk assessment is one area where I think they need a lot of improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"CyberArk Identity is an expensive solution."
"Their pricing is obviously a lot higher than many vendors in the marketplace but their service is also unmatched."
"The pricing of CyberArk Identity is competitive."
"In terms of pricing, BeyondTrust and CyberArk tend to be more expensive, with CyberArk receiving an eight out of ten, in this regard."
"The solution is cheap and I rate its pricing an eight out of ten."
"There is an initial license and then there is a subscription needed."
"There could be some additional costs apart from the licensing costs of the solution when you want to develop connectors in CyberArk Identity."
"We find that the pricing and licensing of this solution is adequate, as compared to the other competitors in the market."
"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."
"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."
"Rapid7 InsightIDR charges us based on the endpoints we connect to."
"Rapid7 InsightIDR is priced very well and is cost-effective."
"It is on a yearly basis. For our own company, for about 250 users, it was 16,000 euros a year."
"It is a reasonably priced solution."
"The pricing is good, and it is not very expensive."
"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."
