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

"The solution is very scalable in terms of the licensing model."
"Another very important part of insightIDR is the ability to collect data from endpoint devices via agent software. With a large remote workforce, this allows visibility into the endpoints that are connected to the internet, but not to the corporate network."
"Features for user behavior analytics and the rules for attack review are good."
"I like that it's a cloud-based solution."
"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."
"​​User behavioral analytics allows us to pinpoint abnormal or suspicious behavior among millions of events every day."
"Rapid7's reporting is more robust than Tenable's."
"Enables the use of honey pots, honey users, and honey files to monitor for suspicious patterns."
"It contributes to our system's robust event detection and analysis, enabling us to respond effectively to incidents."
"The analytics assessment and flexibility of the platform are valuable."
"Trellix XDR is an excellent solution that is continually improving."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"Sometimes, it is hard to get the right queries to use. Currently, the tool lacks a pre-made set of queries."
"Inability to get access to compliance reports within the solution."
"They should add more configuration and security features to it."
"The solution's XDR agents cannot compete with the XDR solutions out there yet."
"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."
"Cloud risk assessment is one area where I think they need a lot of improvement."
"The EdgeGear solution is an area that requires attention, specifically regarding AI solutions and intelligence features."
"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 platform should enhance compatibility with all other SIEM solutions."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing of the solution depends on the user. But there is a yearly licensing cost."
"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."
"It is a reasonably priced solution."
"Rapid7 InsightIDR charges us based on the endpoints we connect to."
"​I am sure that there are cheaper products out there, but none that meet so many of our needs whilst maintaining stability and usability.​"
"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."
"It is more reasonably priced than other vendors."
