Featured Reviews

Rodrigo Censi - PeerSpot reviewer
Patch management and integration capabilities drive effective endpoint response management
We work with Kaspersky and two modalities: the Censi final and Censi license. Most of our clients work in financial areas and industry. Our regular enterprise business relies on these solutions Kaspersky is viable with ADR; the Endpoint Detection response feature and the BitLocker management…
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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It is a scalable solution...It is a stable solution."
"The detection engine running on endpoints works very well and provides a good protection level."
"The integration with our hypervisor is quite smooth, especially within the Kaspersky Enterprise environment. We have many virtual machines, and the integration is helpful."
"It is easy to manage."
"We particularly appreciate how scalable this solution is, as we often need to increase our end-user numbers."
"The most valuable feature is Endpoint's management."
"The pricing is decent."
"Its customer service is quite good."
"The biggest reason why we chose Rapid7 was to gain value in a really quick time. Its deployment doesn't take months. It just takes a few days."
"InsightIDR has allowed us to find potential security issues that we did not know existed, and get remediation quickly."
"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."
"I like that it's a cloud-based solution."
"I rate Rapid7 nine out of 10 for affordability"
"Integration with threat modeling from the Metasploit and InsightIDR repositories."
"It is a very stable solution."
"I am able to run automated actions based on the output of reports, leaving me extra time to focus on more pressing matters."
 

Cons

"My opinion is that behavior detection could work better. This feature gets a high rate of false positives."
"If it covered more products, it would improve the XDR."
"There is a problem with the solution, it came from Russia and we are looking for a replacement."
"The license prices for this solution are quite high."
"The main problem with Endpoint is that Kaspersky is a Russian company, and my clients prefer not to use it."
"The solution lacks DLP."
"It's not a simple implementation."
"The solution can improve by providing automatic fixing of vulnerabilities and reducing the resources used in the server component and endpoint agent. They are very bulky and use a lot of CPU, memory, and hard drive resources."
"I would like to see more development in InsightIDR towards building their SIEM solution and converting it to XDR."
"Lacks a mobile application."
"The reporting is the weakest aspect. There needs to be multi-level grouping for events (for example, group by user and destination). Right now, we can do a group by user and a separate table or group by destination. But I'd be more interested in where a person was logging into instead of who was logging in or where he was logging in."
"Sometimes, it is hard to get the right queries to use. Currently, the tool lacks a pre-made set of queries."
"Cloud risk assessment is one area where I think they need a lot of improvement."
"There are certain limitations with Rapid7 that I am working on."
"Tenable Nessus is easier to deal with. It's more efficient and accurate. InsightIDR is heavier than Tenable in terms of performance and scanning. Rapid7 would be much easier to use if it had a network connector like Tenable. Tenable's connector allows continuous monitoring over the B caps."
"The solution's XDR agents cannot compete with the XDR solutions out there yet."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response is in the middle range compared to competitors. The pricing model is based on the users using the solutions. The cost for us is approximately 2200 Algerian dinars. The price of the solution could be reduced."
"The solution’s pricing is okay."
"The solution is worth its cost so I rate pricing a ten out of ten."
"The price of the solution could be reduced."
"The solution is expensive in comparison to CheckPoint and Fortinet."
"Endpoint's pricing is good, especially compared to expensive solutions like Sophos."
"The license for EDR costs about 1,000 pesos per user. I would rate the pricing as four out of five."
"If one is cheap, ten is expensive, I rate the product’s price as a seven out of ten, especially if I compare it with CrowdStrike."
"The pricing of the solution depends on the user. But there is a yearly licensing cost."
"It is a reasonably priced solution."
"It is more reasonably priced than other vendors."
"The pricing and licensing are competitive."
"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."
"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 on a yearly basis. For our own company, for about 250 users, it was 16,000 euros a year."
"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."
