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

"We were able to identify criminals attempting to login from China and put a stop on their IP locations."

"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."

"The solution is very scalable in terms of the licensing model."

"Rapid7 InsightIDR integrates well with other solutions. It's also easy to configure because Rapid7 InsightIDR has a lot of instructions posted on their website that customers can follow if they need to get the source log."

"It improved my organization by building a security alerting program."

"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."

"The UI is very good."

"It is a very stable solution."

More Rapid7 InsightIDR pros

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

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

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

Cons

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

"Cloud risk assessment is one area where I think they need a lot of improvement."

"I would like to see more development in InsightIDR towards building their SIEM solution and converting it to XDR."

"The solution's XDR agents cannot compete with the XDR solutions out there yet."

"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 product allows us to make only 30 custom rules."

"Customised alert recipients need to be added to allow better first-line action and quicker response. Configurable honeypots would be a welcome addition."

"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."

More Rapid7 InsightIDR cons

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

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I am sure that there are cheaper products out there, but none that meet so many of our needs whilst maintaining stability and usability."

"The solution has a mid-range price point in the market"

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

"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."

"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."

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

"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."
