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 gives us fantastic information about the security of our environment. It tells us about possible threats and how to fix any issues."
"Automatic alerts from staying current with the threat landscape have helped us stay safe."
"The fact that it's constantly hunting, looking for anomalies, and can evict without any intervention is really incredible."
"LMNTRIX first validates incidents before alerting us of the activity, so we're not inundated with false positives."
"We have a dedicated technical representative that is very responsive."
"InsightIDR has allowed us to find potential security issues that we did not know existed, and get remediation quickly."
"Log search allows us to dive deep into aggregated logs and query all event types at once.​"
"InsightIDR’s ability to process millions of transactions per day, and to notify me of the most critical ones, is priceless. InsightIDR has the alerts tuned, and has the ability to quickly drill down to determine the threat level."
"I like that it's a cloud-based solution."
"​​User behavioral analytics allows us to pinpoint abnormal or suspicious behavior among millions of events every day."
"We were able to identify criminals attempting to login from China and put a stop on their IP locations."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten. As a cloud tool, the product is highly scalable."
"InsightIDR helps us investigate an environment to discover information about incidents."
 

Cons

"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."
"The portal is still a bit buggy, although it's new and still being refined."
"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."
"Rapid7 InsightIDR is not intuitive to search for logs. It should be more user-friendly and improve the dashboards. We should be able to use ready-made templates instead of having to build one."
"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."
"Lacks a mobile application."
"The main problem lies in the processes within the client's operating systems."
"There are certain limitations with Rapid7 that I am working on."
"It would be useful to import threat intelligence in YARA format along with known incorrect email addresses.​"
"Inability to get access to compliance reports within the solution."
"InsightIDR is only available in a cloud version. Some of our customers prefer an on-prem solution because they want to manage the security within their environment."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 ease of install are great!"
"It's not the cheapest solution, but you certainly get what you paid for."
"I rate Rapid7 InsightIDR's price a four on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"The solution has a mid-range price point in the market"
"The pricing and licensing are competitive."
"Rapid7 InsightIDR is priced very well and is cost-effective."
"The pricing is good, and it is not very expensive."
"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."
"The team is very willing to work with companies. My suggestion is to call the Rapid7 sales department and see how they can help.​"
