Featured Reviews

Sheikh Abu Ayub Azad - PeerSpot reviewer
Great at managing cyber incidents; the technical support could be improved
The initial setup is easy, partly because LogRhythm is primarily based on the Windows platform. It's good to have two engineers for deployment but it can be done with one. It's more about the knowledge. Deployment is typically done in two or three different phases. It usually takes up to three full months to get good deployment. There's the initial onboarding of all the log sources, then collecting data in the data lake, followed a couple of weeks later with some minor tuning before the final tuneup.
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

"Good capability pinpointing specific cyber incidents."
"The tool's most valuable feature is server threat hunting."
"What I like most about LogRhythm UEBA is that it allows you to identify and analyze end-user behaviors and suspicious activities within the systems."
"LogRhythm UEBA’s best feature is the dashboard. It provides several graphs, charts, and event logs."
"It has a lot of features. It has file integration monitoring."
"The solution is useful for privilege accounts and super admin accounts. It is beneficial from a security perspective. The tool uses machine learning rather than threshold-based alerts. For instance, it can detect unusual user logins, such as a user logging in from a new browser or location."
"The solution's most valuable features are the graphical user interface and the reporting."
"I typically use the product for reducing cyber risk, and I can investigate attacks more quickly using machine learning tools."
"The alerting to drive investigations and remediation has been its most valuable feature.​"
"InsightIDR helps us investigate an environment to discover information about incidents."
"Enables the use of honey pots, honey users, and honey files to monitor for suspicious patterns."
"I rate Rapid7 nine out of 10 for affordability"
"The solution is very scalable in terms of the licensing model."
"The platform offers unlimited storage and agent-based solutions."
"Rapid7's reporting is more robust than Tenable's."
"The ability to ingest Office 365 log files, then process them into events and display them on a map."
 

Cons

"The on-premises LogRhythm is not very scalable. When considering packets per second or the MPS needed for additional logs such as web application logs, scalability is usually found in cloud products."
"The cloud version is lacking and not up to par."
"LogRhythm UEBA's data aggregation needs to be improved. Open-source users do not have much documentation available. Documentation is available only for enterprise users."
"In general, if something needs to be improved in the algorithm, it would be the dashboards."
"The UI could be improved a little bit."
"It would be helpful if there were more guidance provided for integrating with unsupported devices."
"The search feature needs to be improved."
"What needs improvement in LogRhythm UEBA is the pricing. Here in Asia, for example, in Sri Lanka, pricing is the primary concern, and this is the only area for improvement I see in the product."
"The APIs can be further improved in Rapid7."
"Inability to get access to compliance reports within the solution."
"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."
"Tenable Nessus is easier to deal with. It's more efficient and accurate. InsightIDR is heavier than Tenable in terms of performance and scanning. Rapid7 would be much easier to use if it had a network connector like Tenable. Tenable's connector allows continuous monitoring over the B caps."
"The integration capabilities of the solution have certain shortcomings 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."
"There are certain limitations with Rapid7 that I am working on."
"Currently, it lacks the functionalities provided by Rapid7's User Behavior Analytics (UBA)."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Licensing is on a yearly basis. It's not expensive compared to its competitors."
"I rate the product's pricing a three out of ten. However, the cloud version is expensive. You need to hire professional services for deployment and migrations, which can be expensive."
"The pricing is nice when compared to other products in the industry."
"As LogRhythm UEBA is pretty expensive, I'd give its pricing a seven out of ten."
"It is quite a budget-friendly product."
"LogRhythm UEBA's pricing is affordable for small and medium businesses."
"​Accurately predict your licensing counts as this is a subscription based product.​"
"Rapid7 InsightIDR's pricing is reasonable."
"The pricing of the solution depends on the user. But there is a yearly licensing cost."
"The solution has a mid-range price point in the market"
"The team is very willing to work with companies. My suggestion is to call the Rapid7 sales department and see how they can help.​"
"It is more reasonably priced than other vendors."
"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."
"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."
