Featured Reviews

FarkhundAbbas - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides the ability to send detected malware to Kaspersky's sandbox environment for behavioral analysis
Kaspersky's support team is not that much supportive. If we need any help from them, they do not provide a good solution, and it takes too long to resolve the issue. This is the main thing because some cases are easy and need urgent resolution. However, when we create a support ticket, it takes three days to get it planned, and we have urgent requirements. So, the ticketing process needs improvement.
Asim Naeem - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Cons

"Kaspersky is not an XDR solution. With an XDR solution, we could gain some more time."
"One of the main areas where the tool could improve is its integration capabilities. For example, I find it challenging to integrate it with other solutions. It would be helpful if the tool could make it more open to integration with other tools."
"Kaspersky EDR could be improved by adding network detection capabilities to enhance convenience and security."
"The solution must provide better security."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response lacks configuration options."
"I want to be able to use the product as a patch management tool for my endpoints since it is an area that is not working effectively for me."
"There are certain shortcomings with the UI of the solution. The UI is not at all user-friendly."
"The product does not detect zero-day threats."

"The solution's XDR agents cannot compete with the XDR solutions out there yet."
"The searching feature in Rapid7 InsightIDR needs to evolve"
"Inability to get access to compliance reports within the solution."
"Cloud risk assessment is one area where I think they need a lot of improvement."
"The interface for doing investigation needs to be enhanced with minor improvements that would make it more useful."

"The product allows us to make only 30 custom rules."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would say that their pricing is generally competitive and attractive."
"The tool's pricing is reasonable."
"Yearly payments are to be made toward the licensing costs of the solution."
"The pricing falls within the average range."
"The solution is not cheap, but it is not expensive."

"I rate the solution's pricing model a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"I was satisfied with the pricing of Kaspersky."
"Rapid7 InsightIDR is priced very well and is cost-effective."
"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."
"Rapid7 InsightIDR's pricing is reasonable."
"The solution has a mid-range price point in the market"
"Rapid7 InsightIDR charges us based on the endpoints we connect to."
"The pricing of the solution depends on the user. But there is a yearly licensing cost."
"It is on a yearly basis. For our own company, for about 250 users, it was 16,000 euros a year."
"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."
