Shritam Bhowmick - PeerSpot reviewer
Vulnerability Management Lead at garrett
Provides reliable applications security but needs better integration options
There are areas for improvements regarding false positives. Integration capabilities are lacking, as options for integrations with other tools such as SNOW, Jira, or other integration tools are not sufficient in Rapid7 InsightAppSec. The user interface sometimes has glitches, which may prevent appropriate results during navigation, and even when we get appropriate results, it can be impossible to export them to CSV records or download files. Regarding scalability, Rapid7 InsightAppSec is not a scalable solution for our industry due to limited integration capabilities. Rapid7 relies on another tool called InsightConnect, which requires additional investment, detracting from scalability. Another area that needs improvement is the integration of AI capabilities into the platform. Both Rapid7 InsightAppSec and InsightVM need to advance in that area. In terms of behavioral and pattern recognition, identifying complex attacks such as SQL, blind SQL, JSON, and LDAP injections often results in 94% false positives. This necessitates improvement in their behavioral-based analytics feature.

Automation has reduced workload and real-time monitoring provides faster incident response
SentinelOne Singularity AI SIEM is the best, but sometimes the dashboards are a little simple compared to other tools. The custom dashboard is not available in their features. Therefore, I would suggest adding the custom dashboard for any of our requirements. The AI-driven analytics from SentinelOne Singularity AI SIEM has not affected our ability to reduce false positives. SentinelOne Singularity AI SIEM has affected my SOC's efficiency in investigating alerts and responding to incidents. If we receive any alerts, we can observe what activity is being done. We can see if it is malicious or something suspicious, or a true positive. We can analyze the path, the hash, and whether the signature is verified or not. We can see if it is an alert triggered by any engine. We can see the source of this. We will do that type of analysis and raise it to the client side. Also, if I identify anything suspicious or malicious in the alert, I will forcefully kill and quarantine it immediately.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It is very convenient to get reports from the tool, which offers high-level environmental statistics."
"Customers use the product for scanning purposes and do not want to be restricted with respect to the number of scans they perform."
"It's very easy to use and user-friendly, and it does the job."
"It uses a signature-based method to check for problems with your code and will provide an alert if anything is found."
"We have seen measurable decrease in the mean time to respond to threats by 20 percent."
"It is a very robust solution."
"You have various attack modules, and you also have the Attack Replay feature for the attack sequence. You can reproduce an attack and see it. That is a very good feature I noticed in this solution. It helps developers as well."
"The automatic automation of the automated authorization to the SCANNET environment is valuable."
"Overall, I would assess the overall security posture after implementing SentinelOne Singularity AI SIEM as significantly better."
"I will strongly recommend this, because after SentinelOne Singularity AI SIEM we have reduced our engineering time to a certain degree as it has helped us to do investigations fast, we get actual alerts that matter and can prioritize them properly, and the monitoring capability is now completely in one single platform so we do not have to go here and there, which has given us good ROI in total."
"After using SentinelOne Singularity AI SIEM, it has reduced our incident response time by forty to fifty percent compared to other tools."
"With the help of this tool, the response time to sophisticated threats has improved significantly, and it recently cuts the MTTR time using Purple AI by 40%."
"When they face attacks such as ransomware and are dissatisfied with their existing solutions, they switch to SentinelOne Singularity AI SIEM, which is quite good in detecting unknown threats, cleaning the system, and handling ransomware."
"SentinelOne Singularity AI SIEM's AI-powered analytics does affect our SOC's ability to reduce false positives; that is one of the biggest advantages because the manpower that I have is limited."
"SentinelOne Singularity AI SIEM has impacted my organization positively because I am observing some improvement, including real-time monitoring and real-time threat detection that help secure both our and the client's organization from anything suspicious or any malicious types of alerts."
"AI-driven capabilities will give me real-time detection and will protect my autonomous AI interruption."
 

Cons

"There is room for improvement in the response time of customer service and support levels."
"The reporting feature of Rapid7 InsightAppSec needs improvement as it currently provides basic reports."
"I required a solution to manage on-premises, but I was not as satisfied as expected."
"In the future, if they can have integration with a lot of ticketing systems then it would be amazing."
"The reporting is definitely an aspect of the solution that's in need of some work. We found that we'd try to use widgets, but often getting them to work for us wasn't very clear. They need to be more user friendly or offer better instructions."
"The number of web applications we can scan is limited."
"Scanning can be better. When you add new projects for the same product, it either duplicates or replaces the scan configuration."
"The only concern I have with Rapid7 is that it does not provide enough information about vulnerabilities within AppSec."
"Unfortunately, I was not happy with SentinelOne Singularity AI SIEM because it is not mature yet."
"SentinelOne Singularity AI SIEM is the best, but sometimes the dashboards are a little simple compared to other tools."
"I would want the false positive ratio to be lower and would want to improve that aspect so the true will be more, and the false will be lesser."
"There is room for improvement when it comes to the technical support quality and expertise of SentinelOne. Sometimes, the technical support team does not know how to resolve certain issues and takes time to respond, often requiring follow-up interactions within 24 hours."
"SentinelOne Singularity AI SIEM can improve in the area of XDR, especially in the integration between SentinelOne and other solutions and components in the network, as it was not working well with the Fortinet firewall."
"SentinelOne Singularity AI SIEM is a strong platform, but there are a few areas where it could be improved."
"Another area for improvement is that the product is somewhat expensive. Pricing could be improved as well."
"SentinelOne Singularity AI SIEM has some performance and reliability issues that need improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its price is competitive. It is not expensive."
"The price of this product is very cheap."
"They offer a good price, but I don't remember its cost. It is fair as compared to the competition. We have opted for project-based licensing, not user-based. We can add any number of users. That doesn't matter. It is worth the money."
"I rate Rapid7 InsightAppSec’s pricing an eight out of ten."
"I'm not sure how much it costs exactly, but I know it's expensive."
"Rapid7 InsightAppSec is cheap."
