We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The Endpoint Manager is incredible; it has a very straightforward interface and is exceedingly easy to use. Pulling out and deploying different tags or resources is a simple task across various departments with different levels of security. The notifications are also simple and satisfying; it's great to see the bubble informing us which devices are compliant and which are waiting to update.""Defender XDR has a feature called the timeline that lets you track all activities. It helps a lot with investigations.""All of the security components are valuable including, antiphishing, antispam, and stage three antivirus.""Microsoft 365 Defender's most valuable feature is the ability to control the shadow IP.""Scanning, vulnerability reporting, and the dashboard are the most valuable features.""The incident threat response and its ability to facilitate effective remediation against threats are the standout features.""We are connected to Microsoft and have every laptop enrolled. This acts as an endpoint. The tool helps me check security and compliance. I can also check what a device is doing.""It's a very scalable tool that can be used in a very small environment or in a very large environment. Everything can be managed from a simple dashboard and can be scaled up or down depending on the customer's environment."

"Good capability pinpointing specific cyber incidents.""The most valuable features are file activity monitoring and registry activity monitoring.""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.""It is easy to monitor users and that is how the solution is adding value to our firm.""It has a lot of features. It has file integration monitoring.""The solution's most valuable features are the graphical user interface and the reporting.""The tool's most valuable feature is server threat hunting.""LogRhythm UEBA’s best feature is the dashboard. It provides several graphs, charts, and event logs."

More LogRhythm UEBA Pros →

"Great coverage of all systems within our network from endpoint to firewall.""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.""The solution is very stable and works very well for what I need it to do.""Intelligent alerting to avoid the common problem of alert fatigue associated with traditional SIEMs.""The solution's initial setup is easy.""I have seen that Rapid7 InsightIDR provides security to the networks and endpoints in the company.""The alerting to drive investigations and remediation has been its most valuable feature.​""The biggest reason why we chose Rapid7 was to gain value in a really quick time. Its deployment doesn't take months. It just takes a few days."

Cons
"At times, there may be delays in the execution of certain actions and their effects.""From an integration standpoint, it is always improving overall. With Security Copilot coming out, as partners, we are waiting for the GDAP support so that we can actually see Security Copilot on behalf of customers if they subscribe to it.""Stability could be improved by avoiding frequent changes to the interface.""There are other SIEM solutions that are easier to use, mainly based on the creation of rules, use cases, and groups.""The console is missing some features that would be helpful for a managed services provider, like device and user management.""The only issue I've had is, when it comes to deployment, the steps I must take around policy setup. That is challenging.""It would be highly beneficial if CoPilot could identify anomalies within the network and notify the IT team.""For some scenarios, it provides good visibility into threats, and for some scenarios, it doesn't. For example, sometimes the URLs within the emails have destinations, and you do get a screenshot and all further details, but it's not always the case. It would be good if they did a better job of enabling that for all the emails that they identified as malicious. When you get an email threat, you can go into the email and see more details, but the URL destination feature doesn't always show you a screenshot of the URL in that email. It also doesn't always give you the characteristics relating to that URL. It would be quite good if the information is complete where it says that we identified this URL, and this is what it looks like. There should be some threat intel about it. It should give you more details."

More Microsoft Defender XDR Cons →

"The product should improve its dashboards. Splunk has neat dashboards. Additionally, we would like to enhance the use cases provided by LogRhythm as its use case library is not as extensive as other tools. Its machine-learning capabilities need to improve when compared to other solutions. It lacks risk quantification in a single, transparent view for individuals such as CSOs.""It should have better mitigation with other solutions and be tightly integrated with other solutions. It has to be improved.""The search feature needs to be improved.""The product could be user-friendly for someone who doesn’t have any prior experience working with it.""The UI could be improved a little bit.""The cloud version is lacking and not up to par.""It would be helpful if there were more guidance provided for integrating with unsupported devices.""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."

More LogRhythm UEBA Cons →

"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.""I feel it would greatly benefit from more supported log sources.""The solution needs improvement in threat intelligence. Increasing the depth of intelligence to help users understand more about threats is a possibility. My suggestion is to expand access to other websites or resources.""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.""The product allows us to make only 30 custom rules.""The interface for doing investigation needs to be enhanced with minor improvements that would make it more useful.""The main problem lies in the processes within the client's operating systems.""It would be useful to import threat intelligence in YARA format along with known incorrect email addresses.​"

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The solutions price is fair for what they offer."
  • "The price could be better. Normally, the costs depend on the country you're located in for the license. When we were in the initial stage, we went with the E5 license they call premium standard. It cost us around $5.20 per month for four users."
  • "The price of the solution is high compared to others and we have lost some customers because of it."
  • "Microsoft is not competitive with the pricing of the solution. The competitors are able to offer lower discounts. The price of the solution is higher."
  • "We have a lot of problems in Latin America regarding the price of Microsoft 365 Defender, because the relationship between dollars and the money of the different countries, it's is a lot. Many customers that have small businesses say that they would like the solution but it is too expensive. However, large companies do not find the cost an issue."
  • "The most valuable licensing option is expensive, so pricing could be improved. Licensing options for this solution also need to be consolidated, because they frequently change."
  • "Microsoft should provide lower-level licensing options. They should do it in such a way that even an individual could purchase a license, and it should be entirely flexible."
  • "They have moved from a licensing model to pay-per-use... The question is: What happens if, for any reason, there's not enough budget to accept this model? That could be a great problem."

  • "Licensing is on a yearly basis. It's not expensive compared to its competitors."
  • "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."
  • "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."
  • More LogRhythm UEBA Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "​I am sure that there are cheaper products out there, but none that meet so many of our needs whilst maintaining stability and usability.​"
  • "The team is very willing to work with companies. My suggestion is to call the Rapid7 sales department and see how they can help.​"
  • "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."
  • "​Accurately predict your licensing counts as this is a subscription based product.​"
  • "The pricing and licensing are competitive."
  • "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."
  • "It is a reasonably priced solution."
  • "It is on a yearly basis. For our own company, for about 250 users, it was 16,000 euros a year."
