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.
Oluwaseun Sonaike - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers good integrations , very scalable and flexible and we can send as many logs as we want
We've filled in crucial gaps we had with our previous solution. This was a key factor in choosing Rapid7 during the selection process. The ROI is already starting to show, too. We saw specific cost reductions. We used to pay extra for external user insight and availability management in our old setup. Now, that's all included in Rapid7, which saves us money and simplifies management.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We have a dedicated technical representative that is very responsive."
"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."
"LMNTRIX gives us fantastic information about the security of our environment. It tells us about possible threats and how to fix any issues."
"The solution uses its own SIM solution, InsightIDRC, and offers an unlimited incident response as part of the package."
"The features of Rapid7 MDR that I find most effective for threat detection are the threat intelligence capabilities because it already collects many vulnerabilities and exploitations, as well as the configuration of network devices."
"The product allows us to customize our alerts."
"We've filled in crucial gaps we had with our previous solution. This was a key factor in choosing Rapid7 during the selection process. The ROI is already starting to show, too."
 

Cons

"In the beginning, we were having issues with the LMNTRIX respond agent not playing nice with Cisco AMP."
"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 portal is still a bit buggy, although it's new and still being refined."
"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 next release might include a monthly newsletter."
"There are potential improvements in reports and dashboards."
"Rapid7 MDR is currently weak in AI solutions and intelligence, which is concerning."
"The product should provide full transparency in security operations."
"Currently, I can't think of any improvements, although there's always room for improvement in any solution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 ease of install are great!"
"The product is not overly priced."
