Head Of Cyber Security at Super Secure

Has supported compliance needs for mid-sized organizations but lacks customization and advanced integration

If we pitch Rapid7 InsightIDR against solutions such as SIEMs from Splunk or LogRhythm, it is not as customizable as a SIEM solution is. This is where it can improve if we keep in front the feature sets of a complete SIEM solution. Most common in the market is QRadar, but it is depleting now. It has been taken over by some other products such as Splunk and LogRhythm. If we compare these things with Rapid7 InsightIDR, then there are definitely some gaps that need to be filled. Data retention is also one concern because Rapid7 InsightIDR is cloud-based and operates on a subscription model. Whatever data you want to retain, it has to be paid for separately or it has a cost. Other solutions that are on-premises can have their own infrastructure or they provide some data retention for a month or in some capacity-wise, they provide that solution to them which makes them more attractive.

Log analysis has become faster and more accurate, enabling precise threat detection

Regarding areas for improvement in Singularity Platform, I would say the data security posture and control over sensitive information could be enhanced. If the control were more robust, then it would be better. For instance, when I analyze a log using Singularity Platform, the logs I see are clear, but if they were more descriptive, it would be much better. For example, when I find a log suspicious, if it automatically points out that a particular point in the log at a specific timing or frame is looking malicious, it would be easier for me. I would not have to go through many logs to find this information.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."

"Very intuitive and easy to set up."

"InsightIDR’s ability to process millions of transactions per day, and to notify me of the most critical ones, is priceless. InsightIDR has the alerts tuned, and has the ability to quickly drill down to determine the threat level."

"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."

"It improves because several sensors are deployed within the on-premise environment. It can be very efficient if the customer implements and operates it effectively."

"The alerting to drive investigations and remediation has been its most valuable feature, plus the ability to quickly search multiple logs makes investigations easier."

"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 most valuable features have to do with ease-of-use, as it is easy to check the events, investigate suspicious activities, and do forensic analysis, and the web interface is great — very useful and user-friendly."

More Rapid7 InsightIDR pros

"The main benefits the end-user gets from Singularity Platform are, first, the program itself being very small, and then we get better output from applications running on their systems."

"During the time of attacks, if there is any data loss, we were able to easily roll back those attacks and retrieve that data for the client with a single click."

"I have tried some paid tools, but I have found that Singularity Platform is far better than others, and as a log analyst and SOC analyst, I find it better than others."

"Once it fully adapts to the environment, customers don't even need to monitor their endpoint protection landscape, as it can automatically learn and mitigate any threats or problems with minimal human interaction."

"The best feature of Singularity Platform is that everything is unified in one platform, which would be a main unique selling point for them."

"Singularity Platform's functionality for ransomware rollback is quite useful because if you have a ransomware attack, most EDR solutions do not have the feature to do a rollback and bring the system to its earlier state, but that is one of the unique features that Singularity Platform has which can be a game changer for customers."

"Singularity Platform's best features are its scheduled reports and its automated end-of-day business capabilities, which allow any activities that occur projected or expected to come in overnight without manual intervention."

"The best features I and my clients like the most about Singularity Platform are that, first of all, it's easy to handle, it doesn't take a lot of time to get into, there's no real obscurity, it takes a load of work from the team, and in most cases, you can literally just configure it once and leave it running until something comes up, and it will just work."

Cons

"Sometimes, it is hard to get the right queries to use. Currently, the tool lacks a pre-made set of queries."

"Rapid7's customer support is awful. They didn't respond at all."

"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."

"Lacks a mobile application."

"They should add more configuration and security features to it."

"I would like to see more development in InsightIDR towards building their SIEM solution and converting it to XDR."

"Customised alert recipients need to be added to allow better first-line action and quicker response. Configurable honeypots would be a welcome addition."

"I feel it would greatly benefit from more supported log sources."

More Rapid7 InsightIDR cons

"Regarding the pricing, Singularity Platform is very high compared to other platforms that have been worked with, such as CrowdStrike and other Sophos EDRs."

"The dashboards can be improved, and their dashboarding functionality needs to be better. The way the dashboards look is not really impactful or meaningful."

"The first thing I would say about the negative side of Singularity Platform is that it lacks some customization and integrations compared to competitors."

"In my opinion, the real-time monitoring capabilities in Singularity Platform sometimes work and sometimes they don't, because there are a lot of false positives and people use unsigned applications which get deleted or quarantined by the product."

"From an operational perspective, the customizable dashboards are easy to use, but I face concerns with the alerts from the email ticketing system."

"Regarding areas for improvement in Singularity Platform, I would say the data security posture and control over sensitive information could be enhanced."

"Sometimes, these customized solutions our developers develop also get flagged in real time, and the processes get stopped and are blocked, and we have to whitelist the processes."

"Technical support from SentinelOne is somewhat dependent on the engineer you are assigned. Some TAC cases are solved in a good time, but some cases faced challenges because the engineer was not competent or was not able to understand the issue or take it to its logical conclusion."

More Singularity Platform cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate Rapid7 InsightIDR's price a four on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."

"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."

"Accurately predict your licensing counts as this is a subscription based product."

"The pricing and licensing are competitive."

"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."

"The pricing of the solution depends on the user. But there is a yearly licensing cost."

"The pricing is good, and it is not very expensive."
