Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The solution's initial setup is easy.""Log search allows us to dive deep into aggregated logs and query all event types at once.​""The solution is very scalable in terms of the licensing model.""The product works well. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.""The alerting to drive investigations and remediation has been its most valuable feature.​""I have seen that Rapid7 InsightIDR provides security to the networks and endpoints in the company.""Rapid7 InsightIDR integrates well with other solutions. It's also easy to configure because Rapid7 InsightIDR has a lot of instructions posted on their website that customers can follow if they need to get the source log.""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."

"The solution is extremely scalable. Our customers are regularly scaling up after installing Splunk.""We are really pleased with Splunk and its features. It would be practically impossible to function without it. To provide a general overview of the system, it's important to note that the standard log files are currently around 250 gigabytes per day. It would be impossible to manually walk through these logs by hand, which is why automation is essential.""The solution is fast, flexible, and easy to use.""The solution appears to be stable, although we haven't used it heavily.""Splunk is more user-friendly than some competing solutions we tried.""It's easily scalable.""This intelligent user behavior analytics package is easy to configure and use while remaining feature filled.""This is a good security product."

Cons
"Needs a better ability to customize the check within the console.""They should add more configuration and security features to it.""Customised alert recipients need to be added to allow better first-line action and quicker response. Configurable honeypots would be a welcome addition.""The main problem lies in the processes within the client's operating systems.""The integration capabilities of the solution have certain shortcomings where improvements are required.""Tenable Nessus is easier to deal with. It's more efficient and accurate. InsightIDR is heavier than Tenable in terms of performance and scanning. Rapid7 would be much easier to use if it had a network connector like Tenable. Tenable's connector allows continuous monitoring over the B caps.""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.""The dashboard is an area that could be simplified."

More Rapid7 InsightIDR Cons →

"I would like improved downward integration with other tools such as McAfee and other GCP solutions.""They should work to add more built-in correlation searches and more use cases based on worldwide customer experiences. They need more ready-made use cases.""The solution is much more expensive than relative competitors like ArcSight or LogRhythm. It makes it hard to sell to customers sometimes.""I'm not aware of any lacking features.""The price of Splunk UBA is too high.""We'd like the ability to do custom searches.""In the future I would like to see simplified statistics and analytical threats.""The ability to do more complicated data investigation would be a welcome addition for pros, though the functionality now gives most people what they need."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "​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 team is very willing to work with companies. My suggestion is to call the Rapid7 sales department and see how they can help.​"
  • "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."
  • "​Accurately predict your licensing counts as this is a subscription based product.​"
  • "The pricing and licensing are competitive."
  • "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."
  • "It is a reasonably priced solution."
  • "It is on a yearly basis. For our own company, for about 250 users, it was 16,000 euros a year."

  • "I hope we can increase the free license to be more than 5 gig a day. This would help people who want to introduce a POC or a demo license for the solution."
  • "My biggest complaint is the way they do pricing... You can never know the pricing for next year. Every single time you adjust to something new, the price goes up. It's impossible to truly budget for it. It goes up constantly."
  • "There are additional costs associated with the integrator."
  • "The licensing costs is around 10,000 dollars."
  • "Pricing varies based on the packages you choose and the volume of your usage."
  • "I am not aware of the price, but it is expensive."
