EQ
It gives us fantastic information about the security of our environment
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.
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

"LMNTRIX first validates incidents before alerting us of the activity, so we're not inundated with false positives."
"Automatic alerts from staying current with the threat landscape have helped us stay safe."
"LMNTRIX gives us fantastic information about the security of our environment. It tells us about possible threats and how to fix any issues."
"The fact that it's constantly hunting, looking for anomalies, and can evict without any intervention is really incredible."
"We have a dedicated technical representative that is very responsive."
"The solution is easy to use, and the interface is intuitive."
"The solution is very stable and works very well for what I need it to do."
"Rapid7 InsightIDR integrates well with other solutions. It's also easy to configure because Rapid7 InsightIDR has a lot of instructions posted on their website that customers can follow if they need to get the source log."
"It is a very stable solution."
"The product works well. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The UI is very good."
"Simple configuration and automatically syncs to the cloud platform."
"It improved my organization by building a security alerting program."
 

Cons

"The portal is still a bit buggy, although it's new and still being refined."
"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."
"The next release might include a monthly newsletter."
"In the beginning, we were having issues with the LMNTRIX respond agent not playing nice with Cisco AMP."
"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 product allows us to make only 30 custom rules."
"One of the things that could be better is digital forensics. It is there, but it can be better. They could provide more on the endpoint detection level."
"The integration capabilities of the solution have certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"There are certain limitations with Rapid7 that I am working on."
"Needs a better ability to customize the check within the console."
"The interface for doing investigation needs to be enhanced with minor improvements that would make it more useful."
"It would be useful to import threat intelligence in YARA format along with known incorrect email addresses.​"
"One thing that springs to mind is easier API integration with ITSMs. We are evaluating a new ITSM and I would like to have InsightIDR create a ticket when an attack is identified, and the ticket would be closed in InsightIDR when the ITSM resolution is completed. This would take out the "single point of failure" we currently have, if the email recipient is somehow absent, in recording the risk appetite for the incident and the actions taken to mitigate or not."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's not the cheapest solution, but you certainly get what you paid for."
"The pricing and ease of install are great!"
"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."
"Rapid7 InsightIDR's pricing is reasonable."
"​Accurately predict your licensing counts as this is a subscription based product.​"
"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."
"The pricing and licensing are competitive."
"I rate Rapid7 InsightIDR's price a four on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"The pricing is good, and it is not very expensive."
"​I am sure that there are cheaper products out there, but none that meet so many of our needs whilst maintaining stability and usability.​"
"Rapid7 InsightIDR charges us based on the endpoints we connect to."
