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 IT Security Engineer at a financial services firm with 5,001-10,000 employees

Has improved email security through advanced filtration and timely threat detection

I work with Trend Micro Apex One. I have used the Deep Discovery's Sandbox analysis feature, and we utilize another appliance known as Deep Discovery Analyzer, abbreviated as DDA. This tool makes analysis for URLs and attachments contained in inbound emails, so whenever we receive an email with a URL or attachment, it will be analyzed by Trend Micro Deep Discovery Analyzer. In evaluating Deep Discovery's real-time visibility on network traffic, it is important to note that we applied our Deep Discovery Analyzer for Trend Micro to conduct sandboxing specifically for email channels only, and we do not utilize it for network channels. For network channel sandboxing, we use a solution called FortiAnalyzer, which belongs to another team called network security. I assess Deep Discovery's effectiveness in identifying sophisticated attack patterns by looking at how it handles high traffic loads, and how effectively it can use its instances and images to analyze numerous URLs and attachments simultaneously. Additionally, I evaluate its ability to maintain round-robin or load balancing across different analyses without leaving samples queued for analysis. The performance is critical when the product updates for signatures are up-to-date, as this aids in the detection and classification of URLs and attachments without delay in the analysis process. On a scale of one to ten, I rate Trend Micro Deep Discovery a nine.

"Dashboards, including the main screen, provide much-needed information at a glance, without hours of coding and sifting through logs to find it. In case of an actual security incident, I have faith that insightIDR has retained all logs in a secure manner that prevents log tampering as well."

"Great coverage of all systems within our network from endpoint to firewall."

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

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

"Rapid7 is easy to use and deploy. It is a simple solution and has easy data pulling."

More Rapid7 InsightIDR pros

"The performance and stability are great."

"Trend Micro Deep Discovery Email Inspector includes its ability to perform mail detection and mail filtration against various email attacks such as phishing and spam, serving as an email gateway for both inbound and outbound traffic."

"The solution has extension-based features that help it to analyze the environment. The environment can have different platforms like Windows, Linux, and Mac. The tool will give a report which can confirm the analysis of the issues. You can also get clear information on threats or suspicious files."

"The most valuable feature of Trend Micro Deep Discovery is its complete end-to-end visibility of threats."

Cons

"Currently, it lacks the functionalities provided by Rapid7's User Behavior Analytics (UBA)."

"It would be useful to import threat intelligence in YARA format along with known incorrect email addresses."

"There are certain limitations with Rapid7 that I am working on."

"The main problem lies in the processes within the client's operating systems."

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

"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."

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

"The APIs can be further improved in Rapid7."

More Rapid7 InsightIDR cons

"I would like to see them create a rule where It could integrate with the network and start mitigating with auto-detection."

"Trend Micro can improve the pricing in general. There is nothing else they can add or improve in the solution."

"Trend Micro Deep Discovery is a very expensive solution, making it very hard to sell."

"The product's scalability feature needs to be improved, as it is an area in the product with certain shortcomings."

"Deep Discovery is easy to manage, but there is still room for improvement on the administration and operations side. Competing products have a cleaner interface that makes it easier to manage their products. Trend Micro offers a lot of features in one product suite, but it can be unwieldy for the customer to manage all that with a single interface."

"All issues we faced related to false positives regarding many hashes and URLs specifically for mail gateway and sandboxing, which led us to open a threat ticket with Trend Micro support for validation."

"The scalability is sometimes limited."

"The tool's configuration can be made easier."

"Accurately predict your licensing counts as this is a subscription based product."

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

"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."
