Transparent mode for privileged sessions will greatly simplify our client's administrative situation

We're introducing the solution's transparent mode for privileged sessions. This is part of what the client hasn't used before. It will simplify their administrative situation greatly. So far, the rollout of this feature has been a seamless process, but we're still in the midst of rolling it out. The benefits will be on the risk side. Right now, the way accounts are managed, you don't necessarily know who is using an account. There's a shared admin account, and that's not a good thing. And those accounts are shared in wallets by several people. One of the real benefits of safeguarding here is that the client will have an absolute audit of who is using an administrative interface, whether it's server or network.

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

"We use the Approval Anywhere, or cloud assistant feature and it is great. It enables us to add an extra layer of security for critical passwords without adding time to the approval process."

"The most valuable feature of One Identity Safeguard is the user-friendly interface."

"All the features are promising, but we love the reporting feature because we can get each and every report. That's a major compliance requirement. Its reporting is really amazing, and it has made life a lot easier."

"The Transparent Mode is the number one advantage of the product."

"In terms of the user experience, it is a pretty useful product. It works in a good way."

"I like the discovery functionality and the change password feature through the check-in. I also like the bulk import with the help of templates that come with it out of the box. With the help of these few features, my tasks are made easier."

"The solution's most valuable features are the efficiency and the quality of the recording."

"The system is easy to manage, as it is not a system that you will change everything all of a sudden. It evolves most of the time with customer requests."

More One Identity Safeguard pros

"We were able to identify criminals attempting to login from China and put a stop on their IP locations."

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

"Rapid7 is easy to use and deploy. It is a simple solution and has easy data pulling."

"InsightIDR has allowed us to find potential security issues that we did not know existed, and get remediation quickly."

"Rapid7's reporting is more robust than Tenable's."

"Integration with threat modeling from the Metasploit and InsightIDR repositories."

"Features for user behavior analytics and the rules for attack review are good."

"The UI is very good."

More Rapid7 InsightIDR pros

Cons

"Our experience with technical support has been disappointing. We require more prompt and faster response times. We require answers to our questions right away but we haven't received that level of support."

"We should be able to create customized connectors in a better way. For ad hoc or special use cases, I sometimes find we have limitations. Improving the way we develop new connectors for non-typical systems would be beneficial."

"The multilanguage functionality does not support the Arabic language, even though this solution is deployed in an Arabic region."

"We have issues using Safeguard to connect to and record from the cloud. Currently, they don't have a mechanism to record this type of connection."

"We are still in the onboarding phase, and it seems very manual. Ideally, a single interface to integrate all these processes would be useful."

"I rate customer support six out of ten. It needs improvement as it can significantly impact customer access."

"The Transparent Mode could be somewhat easier to use."

"When we compare One Identity Safeguard with Cyberark, we know CyberArk has other tools or other features that are more complex and more useful for the customers. For example, I have one customer that wants to elevate the permission that is available in CyberArk."

More One Identity Safeguard cons

"The solution's XDR agents cannot compete with the XDR solutions out there yet."

"The searching feature in Rapid7 InsightIDR needs to evolve"

"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."

"Lacks a mobile application."

"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."

"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."

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The license is around $3,000 per month."

"They offer a fair price for a robust solution."

"Safeguard is cheaper than CyberArk."

"We bought their other products, so it was not that expensive. It is one of those where the more you buy, the cheaper it is."

"The pricing depends on our perspective, our budget, and, of course, the competitors we are taking into account."

"It is a bit on the pricey side, but you get what you pay for. You don't want to get anything too cheap because then you get cheap stuff and cheap support. That really never helps anybody."

"Its subscription cost is too much, and sometimes, it is very difficult to pitch the solution to the management for cost approval. If the cost is reduced a little bit, it would be easier. If its cost was less, many other organizations that currently cannot afford it would be able to use this technology. I'm sure many organizations around the globe are having issues with identity management, and it is a very difficult task for IT to manage privileged accounts."

"Setup cost, pricing and licensing are all very expensive."

More One Identity Safeguard pricing and cost advice

"Rapid7 InsightIDR is priced very well and is cost-effective."

"Accurately predict your licensing counts as this is a subscription based product."

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

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

"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."
