Featured Reviews

Asim Naeem - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Vidya Shree - PeerSpot reviewer
Easy to manage, zero-trust option and supports both Linux and macOS
SentinelOne supports both Linux and macOS. All SentinelOne features were equally supported across Windows, Linux, and Mac, whereas CrowdStrike was more heavy on the Windows side. They did not support all features on Linux. The Singularity console provides a unified view. But we already had similar dashboards available to the ones we had engineered ourselves. So it's not a deal-breaker. For us, it was about supporting multiple operating systems. That was more important. So, these dashboards we have are third-party tools integrated with SentinelOne.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Rapid7 is easy to use and deploy. It is a simple solution and has easy data pulling."
"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."
"Features for user behavior analytics and the rules for attack review are good."
"The platform offers unlimited storage and agent-based solutions."
"It is a very stable solution."
"Dashboards, including the main screen, provide much-needed information at a glance, without hours of coding and sifting through logs to find it. In case of an actual security incident, I have faith that insightIDR has retained all logs in a secure manner that prevents log tampering as well."
"The solution's initial setup is easy."
"I like the tool's user analysis feature."
"It is a robust solution. It provides great visibility."
"The most valuable feature is that it just unintrusively works in the background to carry out the protection."
"SentinelOne's auto-rollback feature is the most valuable."
"It gives you good visibility of any threats or vulnerabilities that you might have on your network."
"The product can scale."
"The user interface, ease of maintenance, and the efficient way to identify the root cause of an incident to see all the factors that contributed to it are the most valuable features."
"Device control and network control are valuable."
"Overall, I would rate SentinelOne Singularity Complete a nine out of ten because nothing is perfect, but it is close."
 

Cons

"I feel it would greatly benefit from more supported log sources."
"The solution's XDR agents cannot compete with the XDR solutions out there yet."
"Cloud risk assessment is one area where I think they need a lot of improvement."
"The dashboard is an area that could be simplified."
"The solution needs improvement in threat intelligence. Increasing the depth of intelligence to help users understand more about threats is a possibility. My suggestion is to expand access to other websites or resources."
"Customised alert recipients need to be added to allow better first-line action and quicker response. Configurable honeypots would be a welcome addition."
"I would like to see more development in InsightIDR towards building their SIEM solution and converting it to XDR."
"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."
"SentinelOne Singularity Complete needs more connectors for integration with more solutions."
"The primary issue is the console's random automatic logouts, requiring users to repeatedly re-enter their username and password."
"It is an expensive product."
"We often experience interruptions to our investigations in SentinelOne Singularity Complete."
"Interoperability with other SentinelOne solutions and other third-party tools is an area where you can run into some issues. Because of the way the agent works, there are sometimes things that are blocked or prevented from happening that are not identified as a threat, and therefore, not alerted in the console. Sometimes, we do have to dig through the logs, run tests, and adjust the whitelisting or exclusions to make sure that other applications will run properly."
"The ability to integrate this product with an antivirus solution would be welcome. Even consolidation with more security products, like Umbrella networking abilities etc. to provide more on this platform, that would be great."
"SentinelOne needs to provide more documentation for administrators and analytics."
"Communication and documentation could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is more reasonably priced than other vendors."
"It is on a yearly basis. For our own company, for about 250 users, it was 16,000 euros a year."
"I rate Rapid7 InsightIDR's price a four on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"Licensing is by endpoint and amount of retention time (at least ours is). Default retention was one year, but we are able to push the retention further if needed. There's also a provide-your-own-S3 option for longer retention if you don't want to pay for the additional retention years in your Rapid7 agreement."
"Rapid7 InsightIDR is a cheaply priced product. On a scale of one to ten, where one is very expensive, and ten is very cheap, I rate the product's price at seven or eight."
"The pricing and licensing are competitive."
"Rapid7 InsightIDR's pricing is reasonable but we have challenges with the Minimum Order Quantity. It is not reasonable for customers who have less than one hundred devices. If they can reduce Minimum Order Quantity, it is good. You have to pay around 5000-6000 dollars per year for the product. The pricing includes maintenance and support costs."
"The pricing of the solution depends on the user. But there is a yearly licensing cost."
"The cost of Singularity Complete is similar to our previous solution but it comes with additional options such as Kubernetes integration."
"I did not notice a significant increase in cost after adding SentinelOne."
"The pricing is very fair for the solution they provide."
"My understanding is that we did a pretty good deal on SentinelOne. A part of that is because we were their customers very early on, and we also use their products a lot. We are interested in the new products that come out. We go to their demos, and we go to their events. We do save a lot of money. It is not cheap, but it is worth it. We spend a lot of money on a lot of things, and most of them do not do as much as SentinelOne."
"The solution's pricing is not too bad for what it's offering, like the documentation that comes with it."
"This solution is less expensive than its competitors."
"There are cheaper options out there that I know are not as effective. I have administered several of them, not for this organization but for others. The thing I like about SentinelOne is that I know that if it raises an alert, it is worth looking at, so we are not dealing with a lot of false positives. It is rare."
"SentinelOne's pricing could be lower."
