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.

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

"It is easy to monitor users and that is how the solution is adding value to our firm."

"I typically use the product for reducing cyber risk, and I can investigate attacks more quickly using machine learning tools."

"The solution's most valuable features are the graphical user interface and the reporting."

"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."

"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."

"I can investigate attacks more quickly using machine learning tools."

"The tool's most valuable feature is server threat hunting."

More LogRhythm UEBA pros

"The web interface is great — very useful and user-friendly."

"I definitely recommend Rapid7 InsightIDR."

"The log aggregation and storage provided by InsightIDR has shown no issues with scalability; aggregating over one hundred millions events daily."

"The platform offers unlimited storage and agent-based solutions."

"During simulations or demonstrations, the tool generates alerts, providing details such as the specific application, its origin, and potential threats. For instance, it can identify if an application belongs to a known ransomware group. The system rates the threat, offering a clear detection ratio, such as 97 out of 100. It not only identifies threats but also illustrates the associated behaviors, helping us understand the potential risk to a particular endpoint."

"Log search allows us to dive deep into aggregated logs and query all event types at once."

"User behavioral analytics allows us to pinpoint abnormal or suspicious behavior among millions of events every day."

"I rate Rapid7 nine out of 10 for affordability"

More Rapid7 InsightIDR pros

Cons

"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."

"It would be helpful if there were more guidance provided for integrating with unsupported devices."

"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."

"The UI could be improved a little bit."

"The product could be user-friendly for someone who doesn’t have any prior experience working with it."

More LogRhythm UEBA cons

"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."

"Rapid7 doesn't integrate well with all our security tools from various vendors, so we plan to switch. Many of our solutions work with Rapid7, but some do not. We are already searching for a replacement already."

"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."

"There are certain limitations with Rapid7 that I am working on."

"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 APIs can be further improved in Rapid7."

"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."

More Rapid7 InsightIDR cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"As LogRhythm UEBA is pretty expensive, I'd give its pricing a seven out of ten."

"LogRhythm UEBA's pricing is affordable for small and medium businesses."

"Licensing is on a yearly basis. It's not expensive compared to its competitors."

"It is quite a budget-friendly product."

"The pricing is nice when compared to other products in the industry."

"It is on a yearly basis. For our own company, for about 250 users, it was 16,000 euros a year."

"It is a reasonably priced solution."

"I rate Rapid7 InsightIDR's price a four on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is 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'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."

"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."

"Rapid7 InsightIDR's pricing is reasonable."

"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."
