We performed a comparison between Rapid7 InsightIDR and Tanium based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature is the analysis, because of the beta structure."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"Fortinet is very user-friendly for customers."
"The setup is pretty simple."
"This is stable and scalable."
"It is very easy to set up. I would rate my experience with the initial setup a ten out of ten, with ten being very easy to set up."
"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of Fortinet FortiEDR was straightforward."
"Additionally, when it comes to EDR, there are more tools available to assist with client work."
"User behavioral analytics allows us to pinpoint abnormal or suspicious behavior among millions of events every day."
"If you were on other solutions, you would notice that they use agents from third-party, from open-source, from a native OS, or from other tools. Here, however, it is an agent from Rapid7 itself. This adds to the solution's overall capabilities."
"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."
"InsightIDR helps us investigate an environment to discover information about incidents."
"Very intuitive and easy to set up."
"I have seen that Rapid7 InsightIDR provides security to the networks and endpoints in the company."
"Rapid7 is easy to use and deploy. It is a simple solution and has easy data pulling."
"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."
"Tanium's most valuable features are patch management, inventory, and distribution software."
"The solution is scalable and helps to understand how infrastructure works. It helps to improve the health of the organization."
"Threat hunting is a very good feature on Tanium. We have just started using it and have not used it extensively."
"The interrogation piece was the most valuable feature because it was very detailed."
"Tanium’s linear-chain architecture is valuable."
"I'm not so familiar with the tool but I like the interaction of the console to the picture. Patching is the primary model I have been focusing on for the last couple of weeks. So I have created a proof of concept environment and have been checking the available features."
"I would say Tanium is the best tool for vulnerability management."
"I like the fact that you can create patching campaigns depending on the area of your network that you want to address first. I like the ability it has to make several campaigns that work in parallel."
"Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection."
"The amount of usage, the number of details we get, or the number of options that can be tweaked is limited in comparison to that with other EDR solutions"
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"There's room for improvement in the quick response time and technical support for integration issues, especially when dealing with multiple vendors."
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office."
"Everything with Fortinet having to do with their cloud services. They need to invest more in their internal infrastructure that they are running in the cloud. One of the things I find with their cloud environment compared to others' is that they go cheap on the equipment. So it causes some performance degradation."
"The dashboard is an area that could be simplified."
"The reporting is the weakest aspect. There needs to be multi-level grouping for events (for example, group by user and destination). Right now, we can do a group by user and a separate table or group by destination. But I'd be more interested in where a person was logging into instead of who was logging in or where he was logging in."
"Cloud risk assessment is one area where I think they need a lot of improvement."
"The APIs can be further improved in Rapid7."
"I feel it would greatly benefit from more supported log sources."
"They should add more configuration and security features to it."
"The solution's XDR agents cannot compete with the XDR solutions out there yet."
"Lacks a mobile application."
"I would like to have more integrations and custom plugins to input. Integration is always a big deal in a lot of different environments."
"The reporting could be improved."
"Tanium's limitations should be improved because although it is a great tool, it is limited to only a few classes during a session."
"The performance could improve in future releases. We have had performance issues in specialized web environments, but overall I think the problems are less than 2% of the computer systems being used."
"The main issues are the network connection because different customers have issues with their networks. It's difficult implementing this type of solution because the network is the main feature in the architecture for these types of solutions. Tanium could improve by creating some network optimization."
"The solution needs to improve the reporting and tracking capabilities."
"It is not really additional functions, or the features that are needed, rather the complexity would be reduced based on the number of modules required to put together a comprehensive operational security and risk compliance model."
"They could improve the UI."
