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.

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 be improved in terms of support capabilities. Some logs from the server side need to be ingested. Secureworks was integrating with domain controllers and other systems, but SentinelOne still has some gaps. Some vendors cannot be integrated directly. For example, we are using Cisco Umbrella for DNS security, and we have to integrate it through an Amazon S3 bucket where we dump the logs and SentinelOne reads them from that location. For some Microsoft integrations, we must enable certain storage components and pay Microsoft directly to retrieve logs. There is no direct integration, so we must access the logs through that workaround. Previously with Secureworks, we had direct integration with Microsoft. Direct integration with Microsoft is not available now. SentinelOne needs to work on many product integrations to enable direct connectivity.

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

Pros

"The templates feature is very easy; you just choose the kind of attack you want on your web application, and you run it against that template and receive a report, which is great."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the graphical interface."
"The initial setup for us was easy enough. We didn't face too many issues. Deployment took maybe 30 minutes. It's quite quick and doesn't cause too much trouble at the outset."
"The automatic automation of the automated authorization to the SCANNET environment is valuable."
"If a company needs an effective product for web scanning, I can recommend this product."
"I rate stability ten out of ten."
"Rapid7 InsightAppSec helps us in both regulatory compliance and in strengthening our security posture."
"When considering DAST, it is not attributed to a singular feature but rather the capabilities of the engine that provides a genuine penetration testing experience and delivers insightful reports."
"Overall, I would assess the overall security posture after implementing SentinelOne Singularity AI SIEM as significantly better."
"I assess the overall security posture of our organization after implementing SentinelOne Singularity AI SIEM as significantly improved."
"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."
"The AI features of SentinelOne Singularity AI SIEM are absolutely perfect."
"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."
"After using SentinelOne Singularity AI SIEM, it has reduced our incident response time by forty to fifty percent compared to other tools."
"The beauty of the integration is that it integrates very smoothly with third-party tools, so we do not need to think about the parsers, coding, depending on the codes, or the software developers."
"AI-driven capabilities will give me real-time detection and will protect my autonomous AI interruption."
 

Cons

"Currently, InsightAppSec lacks similar functionality. Customers must wait for remediation during the developers' preparation of a new version."
"I required a solution to manage on-premises, but I was not as satisfied as expected."
"We get a lot of false positives during the tests."
"The interface should be a little bit easier to manage. Sometimes, the logic that they use is kind of strange."
"Scanning can be better. When you add new projects for the same product, it either duplicates or replaces the scan configuration."
"The technical support from Rapid7 is not bad, but the response time can be quite slow sometimes."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in the response time of customer service and support levels."
"It is quite good, but the only downside is that it is costly."
"At the moment, I feel the pricing is a little bit on the higher side, but the tool is positioned in a place where risk is very high, and we do not want to take chances, so we are prepared to pay the premium."
"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."
"Unfortunately, I was not happy with SentinelOne Singularity AI SIEM because it is not mature yet."
"In AI SIEM, the areas that have room for improvement are the parsers for third-party integrated data or for third-party data sources that are not native integrations, which could be made a bit easier."
"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."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its price is competitive. It is not expensive."
"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."
"Rapid7 InsightAppSec is cheap."
"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."
"The price of this product is very cheap."
