We performed a comparison between Rapid7 InsightIDR and SentinelOne Singularity Complete based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Extended Detection and Response (XDR) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."All of the security components are valuable including, antiphishing, antispam, and stage three antivirus."
"The threat intelligence is excellent."
"The incident threat response and its ability to facilitate effective remediation against threats are the standout features."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft 365 Defender are the combination of all the capabilities and centralized management."
"A crucial aspect for our team is the inclusion of identity and access management tools from the vendor."
"Setting up Microsoft 365 Defender is easy. It's a user-friendly solution that provides threat protection. It has good stability and scalability."
"I like how Microsoft XDR and the other Microsoft products are integrated into a single unified security stack covering identity access management, endpoint protection, email, cloud applications, etc."
"The visibility into threats is also very impressive because Microsoft helps you predict things and provides analytics to help you really improve your security. And all of this technology works across the domain, so it is pretty helpful in terms of threat analytics."
"It improved my organization by building a security alerting program."
"The biggest reason why we chose Rapid7 was to gain value in a really quick time. Its deployment doesn't take months. It just takes a few days."
"Rapid7's reporting is more robust than Tenable's."
"Log search allows us to dive deep into aggregated logs and query all event types at once."
"Another very important part of insightIDR is the ability to collect data from endpoint devices via agent software. With a large remote workforce, this allows visibility into the endpoints that are connected to the internet, but not to the corporate network."
"The incident case management is the most valuable feature. Even though there's always something I find I would like to add to that feature, the ability to quickly sort through all the logs, network and endpoint data, etc., and add it to an incident case as part of the investigation, is nice. Having it automatically timeline that additional data into the original incident timeline, and correlate it to other notable events and activities on the network, results in a huge improvement in our overall confidence that we've quickly traced down the right source of an issue."
"Rapid7 is easy to use and deploy. It is a simple solution and has easy data pulling."
"Very intuitive and easy to set up."
"The most useful feature of all is deep visibility."
"It has good visibility features and it's straightforward."
"In terms of the engines that SentinelOne uses, it has stopped various scripts from running and it's highlighted lateral movement that we weren't expecting."
"SentinelOne gives us visibility into various high-level vulnerabilities on every gateway on the network. It helps us prevent vulnerable devices from being compromised. We primarily use Singularity for its EDR functions. We're happy with that."
"We are able to write some custom rules on SentinelOne."
"The hunting feature is most valuable for detecting malicious or suspicious activity."
"I like the centralized management with the web dashboard."
"I am particularly interested in the new app vulnerability module that is included with the Singularity Complete edition."
"Stability could be improved by avoiding frequent changes to the interface."
"The documentation on their website is somewhat outdated and doesn't show properly. I wanted to try a query in Microsoft Defender 365. When I opened the related documentation from the security blog on the Microsoft website, the figures were not showing. It was difficult to understand the article without having the figures. The figures were there in the article, but they were not getting loaded, which made the article obsolete."
"At times, there may be delays in the execution of certain actions and their effects."
"The support from Microsoft could improve. There are times I have to wait for a response from a qualified specialist."
"There should be better information for experts on features in the solution. What I see when reading about features in Microsoft 365 Defender is that it is always general information. If Microsoft could go deeper into details for the experts about how to use the tools, usage of it would be more familiar and it would be easier to use."
"There are other SIEM solutions that are easier to use, mainly based on the creation of rules, use cases, and groups."
"Microsoft 365 Defender does not have a unique package with emerging endpoint security technologies, such as EDR and XDR."
"365 Defender has multiple subsets, including Defender for Cloud Apps. When integrating Defender for Cloud Apps with apps on third-party cloud platforms like AWS or GCP, there are limitations on our ability to control user activities. If Microsoft added more control over third-party products, that would be a game-changer and help us quite a lot."
"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."
"The solution's XDR agents cannot compete with the XDR solutions out there yet."
"It takes time for the product's support team to resolve issues, making it an area of concern where improvements are required."
"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."
"I would like to see more development in InsightIDR towards building their SIEM solution and converting it to XDR."
"They should add more configuration and security features to it."
"Rapid7 InsightIDR is not intuitive to search for logs. It should be more user-friendly and improve the dashboards. We should be able to use ready-made templates instead of having to build one."
"The dashboard is an area that could be simplified."
"It's good on Linux, and Windows is pretty good except that the Windows agents sometimes ask for a lot of resources on the endpoints. That could be in the fine-tuning for scanning. In Mac, they are complaining about the same problems, that it's using a lot of resources, but that could also be that we have to configure what it is scanning and what it should not scan. Currently it scans everything."
"I rate Singularity Complete a seven out of ten for affordability. It's more expensive than our previous solution, but it does its job well. At the same time, there is some room for improvement. Cheaper is always better."
"The reporting needs improvement and I would like to see a more granular level of administrative privileges."
"The update process can be better. It is very easy to deploy, but over a long period, the updating process can be a little messy. In some EDR solutions, you end up with a very good mechanism to push new versions. It could do with a little work in that area. It is not particularly difficult, but it could do with a little work."
"Some of the reports that are exported through SentinelOne can be complicated for people who are not IT professionals. For example, we have some people within our leadership who would like to know why we are spending so much money on their product, and one of the ways that we are able to do that is through reports. Some of those reports are pretty easy to understand, and some of them are very complicated. Because they are not IT or security professionals, they may not have the same grasp. I wish their reporting feature was a little better."
"I would have liked the dashboard to be more user-friendly."
"SentinelOne could improve by creating an autopilot or automated way to roll out the solution more efficiently which would be helpful."
"I would like to see something a little more sophisticated than simply being able to mark a false positive as safe or there's usually just one or two options in certain areas and they're a little rudimentary at this stage."
