Automatic update feature could be better and multi-layered protection capability needs enhancement
The platform's ability to update the database from my device and manage user profiles is quite effective. It also provides web threat protection by blocking unwanted websites. It provides multi-layered protection. Although it could be more efficient, it is sufficient for regular purposes. I would not recommend it based on my experience. I rate it a three out of ten.
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

"The product works perfectly to prevent malware in our organization."
"The platform's ability to update the database from my device and manage user profiles is quite effective."
"It is a powerful tool for zero-day attack prevention."
"We had the cloud suite of KasperskyEndpoint Security Cloud, and its monitoring was fine."
"The standout features of Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud include its cloud-based console and the simplicity of managing endpoints."
"Kaspersky has a Cloud Discovery feature. There is no template in Kaspersky. They provide a temporary risk assessment of the cloud services. For example, if we want to block public storage services like OneDrive or Google Drive, we need to specify each individually. The main difference is that Kaspersky's process takes more time because it requires individual input."
"The most valuable component of the solution is the malware detection feature."
"I find the EDR service valuable as it adds extra protection and provides a centralized view."
"The UI is very good."
"The solution is very stable and works very well for what I need it to do."
"We were able to identify criminals attempting to login from China and put a stop on their IP locations."
"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."
"Simple configuration and automatically syncs to the cloud platform."
"I have seen that Rapid7 InsightIDR provides security to the networks and endpoints in the company."
"The web interface is great — very useful and user-friendly."
"Enables the use of honey pots, honey users, and honey files to monitor for suspicious patterns."
 

Cons

"Sometimes, the tool consumes a lot of resources from the endpoints, making it an area of concern where improvements are required since it currently consumes a little bit of RAM."
"It requires specific expertise or certified professionals to deploy the product. There is a need to expand the offerings to various industries covering different-sized businesses."
"The solution’s stability could be improved because we earlier faced an issue where the solution was not detecting file-less malware."
"The tool's update management can be better. In future releases, the addition of a DLP module would be valuable."
"Kaspersky doesn't provide local support."
"Its high CPU usage also slows down devices, particularly those with lower specifications like Core i3."
"Kaspersky's global ranking has been on the decline."
"Kaspersky's cloud solution should be improved because the on-premises features are unavailable in the cloud."
"The integration capabilities of the solution have certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"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."
"It takes time for the product's support team to resolve issues, making it an area of concern where improvements are required."
"I would like to see more development in InsightIDR towards building their SIEM solution and converting it to XDR."
"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."
"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."
"Needs a better ability to customize the check within the console."
"Lacks a mobile application."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is favorable, and there are no additional expenses associated with using the product."
"The solution is moderately priced and cannot be considered an expensive or cheap tool."
"The product’s price is flexible."
"The solution is reasonably priced."
"I find Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud more accessible in terms of pricing."
"We had to pay an annual licensing fee for KasperskyEndpoint Security Cloud."
"The platform is expensive."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud is a cost-effective solution."
"It is a reasonably priced solution."
"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 charges us based on the endpoints we connect to."
"Rapid7 InsightIDR is priced very well and is cost-effective."
"​Accurately predict your licensing counts as this is a subscription based product.​"
"The pricing and licensing are competitive."
"It is on a yearly basis. For our own company, for about 250 users, it was 16,000 euros a year."
"The solution has a mid-range price point in the market"
