Th password vault feature has proven to be most effective for managing privileged access

One Identity Safeguard now prevents unauthorized access to servers by eliminating privileged passwords and requiring all connections to go through a PAM-authorized process. This means no one, including hackers, can access servers without explicit approval, significantly enhancing overall security. One Identity Safeguard is easy to use with a good partner to support you, and it can be up and running within a few days. We have successfully integrated One Identity Safeguard with cloud targets, and the process was straightforward. One Identity Safeguard has improved our incident response time by 300 percent.

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 implementation time was quick. It was basically up and running within a week."

"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 technical support is tremendous."

"I like that One Identity Safeguard lets you configure the maximum number of connections to the target, a configuration I didn't find in its competitor."

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

"There is ease of implementation. Compared to other PAM solutions, it is easy to implement and use from an administrator's point of view."

"The monitoring system is very good."

"The scalability of One Identity Safeguard is perfect, scoring ten out of ten."

More One Identity Safeguard pros

"The solution provides satisfying native integration features"

"I definitely recommend Rapid7 InsightIDR."

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

"Simple configuration and automatically syncs to the cloud platform."

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

"It improves because several sensors are deployed within the on-premise environment. It can be very efficient if the customer implements and operates it effectively."

"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."

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

More Rapid7 InsightIDR pros

Cons

"The high availability function of the box requires a long time to switch over from one appliance to another."

"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 main thing that needs improvement is the slowness. Apart from that, the change password check-in feature also needs improvement because it is not working perfectly accurately."

"We've had issues managing accounts and access to some data saved on the servers. Accounts are granted a new working certificate daily. We have an account to do it on APIs online and sync it with that. If the path changes at some point or someone changes the password, I don't know if it's from the Active Directory or what."

"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."

"The SPS could be a lot easier to administrate and the parts should be unified, from a design perspective, so that I can recognize the systems as being part of the same package. They feel like they have been forced together."

"Support for One Identity Safeguard could be improved because sometimes the support team doesn't have an answer or solution for some bugs. A feature I found in a competitor would make One Identity Safeguard better, and that is the ability to load balance the traffic in the target."

"We currently have a problem with the Active Directory integrations on Windows. Some of our users need to be logged with Active Directory, but we are having communication issues between One Identity and Active Directory. It seems that Active Directory is not well-integrated."

More One Identity Safeguard cons

"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."

"The APIs can be further improved in Rapid7."

"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."

"Currently, it lacks the functionalities provided by Rapid7's User Behavior Analytics (UBA)."

"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."

"They should add more configuration and security features to it."

"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 product allows us to make only 30 custom rules."

More Rapid7 InsightIDR cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"Our licensing costs are on a yearly basis."

"It was definitely cheaper than the other two products that we evaluated."

"The license is very expensive for us, partly due to inflation and partly because of the exchange rate between the Dollar and the Iranian Rial. We purchased a perpetual license that we've been using up until now, but I believe that we are not going to update it in the future. Instead, we plan to find another third-party to support us with the license, in the sense that we would have access to their license as a shared agreement."

"It is cheaper than CyberArk. Its price is fair."

"The pricing is about $80,000 per 100 servers. There are few elective costs."

"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."

"It is more expensive than Secret Server but way less expensive than CyberArk. As a customer, I would like the pricing to be lower, but it has a good price point."

More One Identity Safeguard pricing and cost advice

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

"The team is very willing to work with companies. My suggestion is to call the Rapid7 sales department and see how they can help."

"The solution has a mid-range price point in the market"

"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's pricing is reasonable."

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

"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."
