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.
Roftiel Constantine - PeerSpot reviewer
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 have seen that Rapid7 InsightIDR provides security to the networks and endpoints in the company."
"Enables the use of honey pots, honey users, and honey files to monitor for suspicious patterns."
"​​User behavioral analytics allows us to pinpoint abnormal or suspicious behavior among millions of events every day."
"The product works well. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Very intuitive and easy to set up."
"It improved my organization by building a security alerting program."
"During simulations or demonstrations, the tool generates alerts, providing details such as the specific application, its origin, and potential threats. For instance, it can identify if an application belongs to a known ransomware group. The system rates the threat, offering a clear detection ratio, such as 97 out of 100. It not only identifies threats but also illustrates the associated behaviors, helping us understand the potential risk to a particular endpoint."
"I am able to run automated actions based on the output of reports, leaving me extra time to focus on more pressing matters."
"SentinelOne enhances our customers' risk management."
"The threat detection capability is the most valuable feature."
"They have different levels of support. We have the highest level where they are constantly checking all the endpoints. If at any certain point, they identify that a computer has been triggered by a virus, a link, or something else, they would automatically tell us that within 15 seconds. If they notice something, they automatically send us an email saying that they noticed something in the computer, and they are going to block it."
"The XDR capabilities are very good."
"All the features within the XDR are valuable as a whole for our organization."
"Having high visibility into all of our network concerns and a customizable UI are the most valuable features."
"One of the top things we're interested in is cloud protection."
"SentinelOne stands out due to its AI capabilities, which lead to excellent prevention."
 

Cons

"Customised alert recipients need to be added to allow better first-line action and quicker response. Configurable honeypots would be a welcome addition."
"Needs a better ability to customize the check within the console."
"The ability to tune the collector for custom logs would greatly help."
"There are certain limitations with Rapid7 that I am working on."
"Inability to get access to compliance reports within the solution."
"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."
"It takes time for the product's support team to resolve issues, making it an area of concern where improvements are required."
"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."
"The first-level support has room for improvement."
"Our company has different locations, such as Sunbury, Oklahoma, and Alabama. I have my devices by location, and I have not found a way to choose all the endpoints and then push the update automatically. I have been doing it one by one."
"To enhance our already strong partnership with SentinelOne, we should focus on improving collaboration."
"SentinelOne Singularity Identity could be more user-friendly."
"Our engineers are dealing with issues to add exclusions to the antivirus for custom applications."
"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."
"Sometimes I get kicked out of the console. I don't know why."
"The solution's query resolution time could be reduced further, and a faster resolution could be provided."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is on a yearly basis. For our own company, for about 250 users, it was 16,000 euros a year."
"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 charges us based on the endpoints we connect to."
"​Accurately predict your licensing counts as this is a subscription based product.​"
"It is more reasonably priced than other vendors."
"Licensing is straightforward. If, for some reason, you don’t meet the minimum licensing requirements, there is a third-party managed service that can help."
"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."
"​I am sure that there are cheaper products out there, but none that meet so many of our needs whilst maintaining stability and usability.​"
"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."
"The price is affordable."
"SentinelOne seemed to offer more while being priced lower than its competitors."
"The cost of SentinelOne Singularity Identity is better than CrowdStrike."
"The pricing is a bit high."
"Compared to competitors, it's well-priced for the quality offered, and I don't see anyone surpassing them in that regard."
"The price of SentinelOne Singularity Identity is relatively high, but it offers numerous features and capabilities that make it well worth the investment."
