Abdullah Secca - PeerSpot reviewer
Valuable monitoring and integration features boost compliance
They are not in the US market, and the quality of support has declined. They migrated operations from Boston to Denmark, and we cannot use a tool hosted outside the country. Additionally, dealing with foreign entities for support was a challenge, leading us to switch providers due to lack of adequate support.
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 most valuable features are the ones that we use the most, which are the search and report facilities."
"We like the user and entity behaviour analytics (UEBA) and find it valuable."
"It is a very comprehensive solution for gathering data. It has got a lot of capabilities for collecting logs from different systems. Logs are notoriously difficult to collect because they come in all formats. LogPoint has a very sophisticated mechanism for you to be able to connect to or listen to a system, get the data, and parse it. Logs come in text formats that are not easily parseable because all logs are not the same, but with LogPoint, you can define a policy for collecting the data. You can create a parser very quickly to get the logs into a structured mechanism so that you can analyze them."
"The UEBA component, as well as the SOAR component, are some of the most valuable features of Logpoint."
"The UEBA component, as well as the SOAR component, are some of the most valuable features of Logpoint."
"Log collection, dashboards and reporting are good."
"The search feature is valuable. The dashboards are also valuable for our bosses. Another valuable feature, which is the main feature of the product, is the centralization of all the logs."
"The solution is user-friendly."
"The alerting to drive investigations and remediation has been its most valuable feature.​"
"Intelligent alerting to avoid the common problem of alert fatigue associated with traditional SIEMs."
"The incident case management is the most valuable feature. Even though there's always something I find I would like to add to that feature, the ability to quickly sort through all the logs, network and endpoint data, etc., and add it to an incident case as part of the investigation, is nice. Having it automatically timeline that additional data into the original incident timeline, and correlate it to other notable events and activities on the network, results in a huge improvement in our overall confidence that we've quickly traced down the right source of an issue."
"The solution is very scalable in terms of the licensing model."
"Simple configuration and automatically syncs to the cloud platform."
"The solution is easy to use, and the interface is intuitive."
"I definitely recommend Rapid7 InsightIDR."
"Rapid7's reporting is more robust than Tenable's."
 

Cons

"I know that they have user behavior analytics, but it's an extra cost for this feature. It would be nice if it was in with the standard products."
"LogPoint can improve its dashboards. We are not able to customize the dashboard when creating them. They only have preset dashboards which do not have exactly what we are looking for."
"It is complicated to collect daily logs from other systems."
"What could be improved in LogPoint is its UI because it's less friendly to users than LogRhythm. The UI could be more aesthetically appealing to users. It's completely outdated."
"The documentation part is something that needs to be improved, as well as the threat intelligence investigation part."
"The interface needs things like wizards that will assist with creating complex correlation rules."
"Logpoint is not flexible. Its documentation is not user-friendly."
"One of the downsides is it is not a SaaS solution. It must be on-premises."
"They should add more configuration and security features to it."
"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."
"The main problem lies in the processes within the client's operating systems."
"The solution's XDR agents cannot compete with the XDR solutions out there yet."
"Cloud risk assessment is one area where I think they need a lot of improvement."
"The APIs can be further improved in Rapid7."
"The ability to tune the collector for custom logs would greatly help."
"Sometimes, it is hard to get the right queries to use. Currently, the tool lacks a pre-made set of queries."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's less expensive than the competitors. The Logpoint marketing team is very accommodating and client-friendly. They offer very good reductions in price. They are pretty good in this aspect. They are transparent in their licensing and pricing."
"For a hundred user deployment the cost is about $10,000. The next year it would be the same because it's a subscription-based license. There are separate costs as well, for example, if a customer asks for training for their staff."
"It was on a yearly basis at about $100K. It was not a huge environment. We were running it on our own virtual server environment, which, of course, had a cost. There was hardware and some energy cost, and then there were Microsoft Windows licenses for servers. That's all, but there was nothing in comparison to the licensing costs."
"My company used to pay for LogPoint costs annually. It's a cost-effective solution. I'm not part of the Finance team, though, so I'm not sure exactly what the licensing fee is or what license my company had."
"LogPoint seemed like it was a good product, but it was expensive and there wasn't any room to move the pricing when customers needed a lower-costing solution."
"It's getting more expensive, which is one of the reasons we're looking around just to see if there's anything better value."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I would rate LogPoint's pricing a seven. It is not very expensive compared to some of the more costly products, and it is not very cheap compared to some of the cheaper products in the SIEM market."
"Our licensing fees are about $10,000 USD per month, which I think is fair."
"The pricing and licensing are competitive."
"It is more reasonably priced than other vendors."
"Licensing is by endpoint and amount of retention time (at least ours is). Default retention was one year, but we are able to push the retention further if needed. There's also a provide-your-own-S3 option for longer retention if you don't want to pay for the additional retention years in your Rapid7 agreement."
"Rapid7 InsightIDR charges us based on the endpoints we connect to."
"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 is good, and it is not very expensive."
"The pricing of the solution depends on the user. But there is a yearly licensing cost."
"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."

Questions from the Community

What is your experience regarding pricing and costs for LogPoint?
I rate the pricing at eight, suggesting it's relatively good or affordable.
