Prajwal Chougale - PeerSpot reviewer
SOC L2 Analyst at a tech services company with 51-200 employees
Centralized threat hunting has improved alert accuracy and simplifies incident investigations
I would say there are two areas for improvement: the reporting dashboard that provides insights or reports weekly or monthly lacks detailed information about how logs are being ingested. While the details are there, they could be more concise and easier to understand for any level of authority. The second area is alert tuning; compared to Microsoft Sentinel, Rapid7 InsightIDR provides fewer alerts with more static alert functionality and lacks dynamic alerting exposures. There could be improvements to learn from past alert activities for more dynamic alert configurations. These two areas are the main areas for improvement; everything else is good.
Roftiel Constantine - PeerSpot reviewer
Global Chief Information Security Officer at Barry-Wehmiller
Provides proactive threat remediation, reduces alert volume, and enhances incident response capabilities
During our pre-purchase evaluation of SentinelOne's EDR capabilities three years ago, we were consistently impressed by the positive relationships customers reported having with SentinelOne's engineers, sales teams, and customer success managers. These strong relationships, evident in the customers' unsolicited feedback, highlighted the "soft skills" and intangible qualities that SentinelOne possessed. This positive customer experience has been mirrored in our own interactions with them. Their responsiveness to our needs, particularly when addressing a couple of challenges we faced, has been excellent. They proactively scheduled weekly meetings to demonstrate their commitment to resolving our issues, a customer-centric approach I admire. SentinelOne's dedication to customer service, including their rapid technology updates and responsiveness to our suggestions, has been crucial to our success in protecting our organization. Their ability to quickly incorporate our needs into new releases is truly impressive and sets them apart. Overall, I highly recommend SentinelOne based on our positive interactions across all levels of their organization.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I definitely recommend Rapid7 InsightIDR."
"I like that it's a cloud-based solution."
"The log aggregation and storage provided by InsightIDR has shown no issues with scalability; aggregating over one hundred millions events daily."
"The platform offers unlimited storage and agent-based solutions."
"The alerting to drive investigations and remediation has been its most valuable feature, plus the ability to quickly search multiple logs makes investigations easier."
"It improved my organization by building a security alerting program."
"The product works well. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Rapid7's reporting is more robust than Tenable's."
"The AI-based detection, scanning, prevention and mitigation features are the most valuable features."
"Incident response is one of the key areas where the solution has been very useful. Whenever there is an incident, instead of being reactive, the government is now able to quickly gain the data that it needs to see what its end agency is also seeing and partner with them in real-time to look at the same data and to collaborate where needed, empowering the agency to be able to do their job."
"The most valuable feature of SentinelOne Singularity Identity is its ability to detect based on behavior rather than just static signatures."
"SentinelOne Singularity Identity provides machine learning capabilities for threat detection; among the use cases, I have found static AI, behavioral AI, and dynamic AI to help with malware detection, so there are three types of AI in the Singularity console agent."
"One of the top things we're interested in is cloud protection."
"The threat detection capability is the most valuable feature."
"The incident and threat logs are great."
"The XDR capabilities are very good."
 

Cons

"One thing that springs to mind is easier API integration with ITSMs. We are evaluating a new ITSM and I would like to have InsightIDR create a ticket when an attack is identified, and the ticket would be closed in InsightIDR when the ITSM resolution is completed. This would take out the "single point of failure" we currently have, if the email recipient is somehow absent, in recording the risk appetite for the incident and the actions taken to mitigate or not."
"Rapid7's customer support is awful. They didn't respond at all."
"There is a future in AI with Rapid7, however, it is not fully operated. There are certain limitations with Rapid7 that I am working on."
"Personally, I feel it would greatly benefit from more supported log sources."
"I'd like to be able to get the compliance report within the solution which is currently not possible."
"The interface for doing investigation needs to be enhanced with minor improvements that would make it more useful."
"It would be useful to import threat intelligence in YARA format along with known incorrect email addresses.​"
"The ability to tune the collector for custom logs would greatly help."
"A lot of those features came from an acquisition of a different company."
"SentinelOne Singularity Identity could be more user-friendly."
"There is a clear roadmap for improvements, including enhancing capabilities with AI and seamless functionality in an MSP model for deeper visibility across multiple agencies. Further development is anticipated to continue enhancing the solution."
"The root cause of automation could be better."
"Agent connectivity can be improved, as it is one aspect of the product with certain shortcomings."
"The UI can be more user-friendly."
"To improve SentinelOne, I would suggest adding a network detection and response capability."
"Our engineers are dealing with issues to add exclusions to the antivirus for custom applications."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"​Accurately predict your licensing counts as this is a subscription based product.​"
"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."
"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."
"The team is very willing to work with companies. My suggestion is to call the Rapid7 sales department and see how they can help.​"
"Rapid7 InsightIDR charges us based on the endpoints we connect to."
"​I am sure that there are cheaper products out there, but none that meet so many of our needs whilst maintaining stability and usability.​"
"The pricing is good, and it is not very expensive."
"The solution has a mid-range price point in the market"
"The price of SentinelOne Singularity Identity is relatively high, but it offers numerous features and capabilities that make it well worth the investment."
"There is a need to make yearly payments towards the licensing charges associated with the product...I think the prices associated with the product are okay and it is not too expensive."
"Ideally, I would like SentinelOne to lower their prices a little bit."
"SentinelOne seemed to offer more while being priced lower than its competitors."
"The pricing is a bit high."
"The price is affordable."
"Their pricing has been fair, especially in the current market, and they haven't excessively increased prices at renewal times like many vendors do."
"SentinelOne Singularity Identity's pricing is cheaper than CrowdStrike and is really good."
