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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I am able to run automated actions based on the output of reports, leaving me extra time to focus on more pressing matters."

"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten. As a cloud tool, the product is highly scalable."

"I like the tool's user analysis feature."

"The platform offers unlimited storage and agent-based solutions."

"The product works well. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."

"InsightIDR helps us investigate an environment to discover information about incidents."

"The alerting to drive investigations and remediation has been its most valuable feature."

"I like that it's a cloud-based solution."

More Rapid7 InsightIDR pros

"The analytics assessment and flexibility of the platform are valuable."

"Trellix XDR is an excellent solution that is continually improving."

"It contributes to our system's robust event detection and analysis, enabling us to respond effectively to incidents."

Cons

"There is a future in AI with Rapid7, however, it is not fully operated. There are certain limitations with Rapid7 that I am working on."

"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."

"Lacks a mobile application."

"Needs a better ability to customize the check within the console."

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

"Rapid7 InsightIDR is not intuitive to search for logs. It should be more user-friendly and improve the dashboards. We should be able to use ready-made templates instead of having to build one."

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

More Rapid7 InsightIDR cons

"The platform should enhance compatibility with all other SIEM solutions."

"Technical support is crucial, especially when facing critical issues. It's rated six out of ten. Improvements are needed in the support sector, with a focus on providing expert assistance during production periods."

"The EdgeGear solution is an area that requires attention, specifically regarding AI solutions and intelligence features."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is on a yearly basis. For our own company, for about 250 users, it was 16,000 euros a year."

"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 and licensing are competitive."

"Rapid7 InsightIDR charges us based on the endpoints we connect to."

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

"It is a reasonably priced solution."

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