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.
Vinay Patel D N - PeerSpot reviewer
Effective with good log analytics but needs better rule correlation
The correlation rules and log mapping are not as mature compared to other SIM tools like Splunk. Sometimes logs will not fetch, and there are issues if the log volume exceeds a threshold. Not every tool is integrated with Sumo Logic. The response time for their support could be better, and it is not very user-friendly.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution provides satisfying native integration features"
"It improved my organization by building a security alerting program."
"The technical support is a solid 10 out of 10 as they take the time to answer any questions or problems which may arise in a reasonable time frame."
"I am able to run automated actions based on the output of reports, leaving me extra time to focus on more pressing matters."
"The solution's initial setup is easy."
"The platform offers unlimited storage and agent-based solutions."
"Rapid7's reporting is more robust than Tenable's."
"InsightIDR helps us investigate an environment to discover information about incidents."
"Support has been excellent. Sumo Logic's support staff is really good, both their account management staff and direct support."
"The Log Analytics platform is the most effective. If we cannot find the data in other tools, like email security or NDR, we can fetch those logs in the Log Analytics platform of Sumo Logic."
"I have no concerns about the stability of the product. I feel it handles the stress we put on it very well."
"We can ingest logs and make reports out of them. It is a good tool which can help us monitor any issues."
"The solution is quite stable."
"The tool has key features like operability. It will alert the admins whenever a device is onboarded."
"The most valuable features of Sumo Logic Security are the rules, use cases, and ease of use. Additionally, the integration is straightforward and good GUI."
"Technical support is always great."
 

Cons

"Needs a better ability to customize the check within the console."
"It takes time for the product's support team to resolve issues, making it an area of concern where improvements are required."
"They should add more configuration and security features to it."
"One of the things that could be better is digital forensics. It is there, but it can be better. They could provide more on the endpoint detection level."
"The interface for doing investigation needs to be enhanced with minor improvements that would make it more useful."
"I would like to see more development in InsightIDR towards building their SIEM solution and converting it to XDR."
"Lacks a mobile application."
"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."
"Sumo Logic Security is expensive, and its pricing could be improved."
"If you look at some of the other offerings right now that are available in the market, they do offer APM as well as the product they're offering. I believe Sumo Logic is not there yet. So that's something which I would love to see."
"The integration with multiple sources could be better."
"In terms of improvement, feedback indicates there is a need for a local data center in my country. This is crucial to sell to the government and financial sectors as they require data retention within each country."
"The dashboard has room for improvement, because sometimes it is a difficult to create a specific dashboard or query. This would be a nice place to correct problems."
"We would like the ability to drill down into a dashboard and get into deeper levels."
"We would like to have some type of predefined setup for the logs, making the setup easier by default."
"The initial setup is the most stressful, like learning how to use it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"​Accurately predict your licensing counts as this is a subscription based product.​"
"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'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."
"Rapid7 InsightIDR charges us based on the endpoints we connect to."
"I rate Rapid7 InsightIDR's price a four on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"The pricing is good, and it is not very expensive."
"We chose to go through the AWS Marketplace because it makes it a lot easier when we bill our customers. Rather than having to get multiple different sources of information then correlate a monthly bill for our customers, it is just included in the AWS usage charges."
"The product is costly."
"The price scaling comes in a bit expensive."
"The pricing is good. It's not an issue for us."
"Pricing has been cheaper than some of the competing tools, like Splunk."
"The license pricing model is based on the events that are processed through the solution."
"The AWS Marketplace pricing is fairly reasonable for what it does. I wouldn't call it expensive, but I wouldn't call it cheap. It is pretty good."
"The AWS Marketplace pricing is borderline. Every annual renewal, we always contemplate if we are getting what we think we could out of it or could we do it cheaper with some other product."
