Arun Babu - PeerSpot reviewer

Daily endpoint monitoring has improved investigations and saved time but detection rules still need tuning
It is important to note that Rapid7 InsightCloudSec's features are not 100% precise, but I find about 70% of the time it is satisfactory. I would like to suggest that you improve it to be more precise, ideally making it 100% if possible. Some cases in Rapid7 InsightCloudSec indicate that the log is not enough, as they mostly just generate alerts, and the synchronization between data connectors is often problematic, particularly in terms of not being in sync always, especially between the AD and Rapid7 alerts, which generates numerous false positives. Additionally, the traditional rules should be updated, as this is a main point worth mentioning since we spend a lot of time fine-tuning these traditional rules. I suggest improving the legacy detection rules. If there are any authentication cases, such as impossible travel activity where a user has their SharePoint hosted in a different location, Rapid7 can often trigger alerts, creating confusion as we cannot fine-tune it properly. Another issue is with honeypot access. We sometimes lack necessary logs because Defender's advanced threat protection scanning gets detected as honeypot activity by Rapid7, leading to annoying and noisy alerts that we need to constantly close. If you can improve the traditional detection rules to reflect current detection rules, it would make it significantly easier for us to manage, as we constantly need to check legacy rules to update or possibly turn them off. Updating the legacy rules should be a priority.

Advanced AI-driven monitoring has strengthened investigations and now prioritizes critical threats
I would not say there is anything that could be better in SentinelOne Singularity AI SIEM; I think we have seen something unique in the product. This product has the potential to add more SOC functionality on top of its SIEM, which can automate a few more things because I have the information there. I need to do what I would call security agents or agentic AI to be built on top; it can take care of a lot more analysis and actions. Maybe licensing cost can also be looked at and reduced. We are still to see the automated feature work a little bit more; we are not really using it to the full extent.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Agentless scanning is a possible use with Rapid7 InsightCloudSec."
"Rapid7 InsightCloudSec has helped us save thirty percent time in our log retrievals, and it completely changed log searching, making it really fast when we search for logs, with no prior knowledge required."
"After implementing Rapid7 InsightCloudSec, we increased our CIS benchmark score from 48 to around 88 after addressing missing patches on some VM instances, indicating a significant positive impact."
"I can confirm money and time savings with Rapid7 InsightCloudSec, as we can scan the entire IP range simultaneously instead of manually checking each asset for vulnerabilities, reducing the need for technicians to move around the organization and thus saving significant time."
"Rapid7 InsightCloudSec impacts the organization positively by acting as a shield against hackers and ransomware, providing effective protection to data and infrastructure."
"The fastest scanning is the best feature Rapid7 InsightCloudSec offers, helping me respond to threats quickly in my daily operations."
"The tool's most valuable feature is workload protection for Kubernetes and container security. It has agents that identify bugs or lack of security on runtime containers."
"I find the security frameworks and security tools valuable, as they are good in the infrastructure of the code security and are also good at threat protection."
"Overall, I would assess the overall security posture after implementing SentinelOne Singularity AI SIEM as significantly better."
"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."
"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."
"AI-driven capabilities will give me real-time detection and will protect my autonomous AI interruption."
"After using SentinelOne Singularity AI SIEM, it has reduced our incident response time by forty to fifty percent compared to other tools."
 

Cons

"Rapid7 InsightCloudSec needs to provide more granular search capabilities, such as the ability to search back the last three months."
"There are a lot of other solutions in the market, not only providing the features of a CSPM, but also CNAPP."
"Technical support could be better. It could also be easier, more user-friendly, and intuitive. The API keys aren't easy to understand, and the cloud layouts aren't intuitive and user-friendly. We should be able to integrate IM governance and APIs into non-compliant workloads like legacy solutions."
"The tool needs to improve its documentation."
"Improvements could include providing better human-readable report formats with thorough explanations of CVEs and threats, detailing what can be done to eliminate malicious activities."
"Some cases in Rapid7 InsightCloudSec indicate that the log is not enough, as they mostly just generate alerts, and the synchronization between data connectors is often problematic, particularly in terms of not being in sync always, especially between the AD and Rapid7 alerts, which generates numerous false positives."
"A couple of modules are missing when compared to other providers, specifically related to some IAM, and the login piece needs improvement."
"For a first-time user who starts using Rapid7 InsightCloudSec, it is somewhat complicated to navigate through the UI and search for logs or vulnerabilities, so this is one aspect that could be improved."
"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."
"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."
"It is quite good, but the only downside is that it is costly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We're doing an annual subscription. There are additional expenses, but not within the confines of this platform."
"Companies generally buy this tool because the pricing is not that high."
