Great 24/7 monitoring, helpful support, and excellent console interface
I would love to have the ability to block USBs as some of the other AV tools I've used can. The only multifactor authentication that is available is Google Authenticator. I would love to see other multifactor applications added to this list as well as physical devices such as Yubikey. I would also love to see training modules added so that users could go at their own pace to expand their knowledge of the tool and get the most use out of it as possible. It is hard to be critical on a tool that I think is great.

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

"I have no regrets about standardizing on LMNTRIX as our endpoint protection agent."
"The fact that it's constantly hunting, looking for anomalies, and can evict without any intervention is really incredible."
"Automatic alerts from staying current with the threat landscape have helped us stay safe."
"We have a dedicated technical representative that is very responsive."
"For companies like us that couldn't afford to setup and staff a 24/7 SOC, LMNTRIX is the perfect solution."
"LMNTRIX gives us fantastic information about the security of our environment. It tells us about possible threats and how to fix any issues."
"LMNTRIX first validates incidents before alerting us of the activity, so we're not inundated with false positives."
"I sleep better at night knowing that LMNTRIX is monitoring our systems and has the ability to respond to threats as they happen."
"Intelligent alerting to avoid the common problem of alert fatigue associated with traditional SIEMs."
"The solution's initial setup is easy."
"Very intuitive and easy to set up."
"Previously, when something happened, such as when a hacker was attacking one of our customers, we were always behind, or we did not know that we were hacked until the ransomware started, but with the Rapid7 solution, at every step, we could online see what a person was doing, and we could prevent ransomware."
"I have seen that Rapid7 InsightIDR provides security to the networks and endpoints in the company."
"Great coverage of all systems within our network from endpoint to firewall."
"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."
"InsightIDR helps us investigate an environment to discover information about incidents."
 

Cons

"The portal is still a bit buggy, although it's new and still being refined."
"The dashboard can seem overwhelming at times."
"The only multifactor authentication that is available is Google Authenticator. I would love to see other multifactor applications added to this list as well as physical devices such as Yubikey."
"The only multifactor authentication that is available is Google Authenticator."
"In the beginning, we were having issues with the LMNTRIX respond agent not playing nice with Cisco AMP."
"The next release might include a monthly newsletter."
"The dashboard can seem overwhelming at times. It's fairly simple for the end user, and we don't need to do much to make it work, but the dashboard makes it seem a little more complicated than it actually is. There could also be more guidance on how to set up playbooks."
"Rapid7's customer support is awful. They didn't respond at all."
"The APIs can be further improved in Rapid7."
"Rapid7 doesn't integrate well with all our security tools from various vendors, so we plan to switch. Many of our solutions work with Rapid7, but some do not. We are already searching for a replacement already."
"I would like to see more development in InsightIDR towards building their SIEM solution and converting it to XDR."
"The dashboard is an area that could be simplified. For management, it should be clear and the files should be there."
"Inability to get access to compliance reports within the solution."
"It takes time for the product's support team to resolve issues, making it an area of concern 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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing and ease of install are great!"
"It's not the cheapest solution, but you certainly get what you paid for."
"The cost is going to be a little higher than traditional endpoint protection, but you are getting the 24/7 monitoring and validation by highly skilled analysts and that makes it worth it."
"The pricing and licensing are competitive."
"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."
"​Accurately predict your licensing counts as this is a subscription based product.​"
"The pricing of the solution depends on the user. But there is a yearly licensing cost."
"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 solution has a mid-range price point in the market"
"Rapid7 InsightIDR charges us based on the endpoints we connect to."
"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."
