Featured Reviews

SohailHyder - PeerSpot reviewer
SohailHyder
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.

Senior Associate at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Threat detection is effective, and the solution provides good control over device access, but it still needs better troubleshooting options for agent-related issues.
From an improvement perspective, I am looking for a way to troubleshoot situations where the endpoint agent becomes corrupted and requires reinstallation, as there is currently no option to resolve these issues without rebooting the system. I give it a rating of seven because, in today’s scenario, the portal is complicated to navigate. The Trellix Endpoint Security Platform dashboard is somewhat difficult to understand, and it takes considerable time to familiarize oneself with the tools and policies compared to other solutions. For on-premises deployment, I would also like to highlight that the architecture is quite complex, which is an area Trellix Endpoint Security Platform should consider improving.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I definitely recommend Rapid7 InsightIDR."
"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."
"I like that it's a cloud-based solution."
"The solution's initial setup is easy."
"Very intuitive and easy to set up."
"The solution provides satisfying native integration features"
"It improved my organization by building a security alerting program."
"The log aggregation and storage provided by InsightIDR has shown no issues with scalability; aggregating over one hundred millions events daily."
More Rapid7 InsightIDR pros
"The manageability of the product itself is its most valuable aspect. You have the underlying EPO, and on top of it, you can deploy the various components as you require. This is unlike other solutions like Symantec where you have to deploy everything or nothing. With this solution, you can choose to only deploy antivirus or only deploy a firewall, or only something else. I choose the components and that deployment is done through EPO. It makes manageability very flexible."
"The detection capability of Trellix Endpoint Security is higher than traditional antivirus solutions."
"The most valuable features are the prevention layer that detects the signature value and prevents threats in the network."
"Communication with all Mcafee products (also 3rd parties) by DXL infrastructure."
"A great console with a user-friendly GUI."
"The stability has been great."
"The product can be installed in almost any environment"
"The solution is reliable."

Cons

"Sometimes, it is hard to get the right queries to use. Currently, the tool lacks a pre-made set of queries."
"One thing that springs to mind is easier API integration with ITSMs. We are evaluating a new ITSM and I would like to have InsightIDR create a ticket when an attack is identified, and the ticket would be closed in InsightIDR when the ITSM resolution is completed. This would take out the "single point of failure" we currently have, if the email recipient is somehow absent, in recording the risk appetite for the incident and the actions taken to mitigate or not."
"InsightIDR is only available in a cloud version. Some of our customers prefer an on-prem solution because they want to manage the security within their environment."
"I would like to see more development in InsightIDR towards building their SIEM solution and converting it to XDR."
"Needs a better ability to customize the check within the console."
"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."
"If we pitch Rapid7 InsightIDR against solutions such as SIEMs from Splunk or LogRhythm, it is not as customizable as a SIEM solution is."
"The ability to tune the collector for custom logs would greatly help."
More Rapid7 InsightIDR cons
"The solution could use better updates and fewer bugs."
"On the next release, they should build an easier way to see a repair option within the McAfee icon on your system tray. If there was an issue, you should be able to contact the user or just right-click on "repair". That would be a very good feature to add. That could be a place of improvement, just adding that button, or customizing it."
"An area in need of improvement involves the overview, which usually does not enable one to get the value in reports."
"I've encountered minor challenges related to encryption."
"The price of the solution is high in Asia."
"Impacts performance of the servers quite negatively."
"A policy-editing console should be added."
"Users can just install software into their computers. We need some sort of application control system that, if there are any pieces of software that are not whitelisted, then the solution could flag it or maybe alert the administers. That would be very helpful."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is a reasonably priced solution."
"I rate Rapid7 InsightIDR's price a four on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"​I am sure that there are cheaper products out there, but none that meet so many of our needs whilst maintaining stability and usability.​"
"​Accurately predict your licensing counts as this is a subscription based product.​"
"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."
"The team is very willing to work with companies. My suggestion is to call the Rapid7 sales department and see how they can help.​"
"It is more reasonably priced than other vendors."
"Rapid7 InsightIDR charges us based on the endpoints we connect to."
More Rapid7 InsightIDR pricing and cost advice
"It is based on an annual subscription."
"Since the maintenance is done by our own team, the price of the subscription should really be cheaper."
"Trellix may cost around $46 to $47 for a single license without an EDR."
"It is reasonably priced."
"I do licensing on an annual basis and this is what I always recommend to my clients over the monthly option."
"I would rate the cost as four to five, considering it's normal compared to other products. I find it nominal and worth the money."
"We had a discount when purchasing the solution because of the size of our company and we are happy with the price."
"Trellix Endpoint Security is neither a cheap nor an expensive solution."
