Featured Reviews

Asim Naeem - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Rejwana Rahman - PeerSpot reviewer
Good threat detection capabilities and offers flexibility for hosting options
As a security product, managing threats is crucial for my clients. According to feedback from my client base, Trend Micro has good threat detection capabilities and offers flexibility for hosting options. It also includes features like an advanced scan engine – those are definitely strong benefits. Additionally, its virtual analysis feature is quite useful.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Enables the use of honey pots, honey users, and honey files to monitor for suspicious patterns."
"The product works well. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The solution is easy to use, and the interface is intuitive."
"InsightIDR helps us investigate an environment to discover information about incidents."
"Intelligent alerting to avoid the common problem of alert fatigue associated with traditional SIEMs."
"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."
"​​User behavioral analytics allows us to pinpoint abnormal or suspicious behavior among millions of events every day."
"The UI is very good."
"As a security product, managing threats is crucial for my clients."
"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 performance and stability are great."
"The most valuable feature of Trend Micro Deep Discovery is its complete end-to-end visibility of threats."
"There is no downtime or server vulnerability with this solution."
"Deep Discovery is scalable and compatible with other products. It's crucial to have that compatibility because it's an integral part of our security solution. It integrates smoothly. The interface is user-friendly, so administration is simple."
"The tool's stability and performance are good."
"The most valuable features are the protection and that it is fast."
 

Cons

"I would like the ability to adjust the threshold of certain existing alerts. Currently the only option is to change the notifications or create my own alert."
"The main problem lies in the processes within the client's operating systems."
"The interface for doing investigation needs to be enhanced with minor improvements that would make it more useful."
"It would be useful to import threat intelligence in YARA format along with known incorrect email addresses.​"
"I feel it would greatly benefit from more supported log sources."
"They should add more configuration and security features to it."
"Needs a better ability to customize the check within the console."
"There are certain limitations with Rapid7 that I am working on."
"Trend Micro Deep Discovery's technical support could be improved, and it could be made more active."
"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."
"The solution needs to be able to integrate better with third-party infrastructure."
"The solution could be more stable and offer more security."
"The solution should support multiple platforms in Windows, Linux, and Mac. Customers can have different software types. The virtual environment should be able to install and analyze them. The tool also gives only a minimum level of extension support. It may not be able to extract files and give details about them. I would also like to see third-party product integration in the tool. The solution's current integration is only with Trend Micro products only."
"Some of the end users may not be technically proficient, so they occasionally face problems due to a lack of knowledge."
"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 price range is a little high."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing and licensing are competitive."
"I rate Rapid7 InsightIDR's price a four on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"The solution has a mid-range price point in the market"
"The team is very willing to work with companies. My suggestion is to call the Rapid7 sales department and see how they can help.​"
"​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.​"
"Rapid7 InsightIDR charges us based on the endpoints we connect to."
"It is a reasonably priced solution."
"The price of the solution is lower compared to the competition."
"Trend Micro Deep Discovery is quite expensive compared to other endpoint security products."
"The pricing is okay for some, and sometimes, some people find it expensive."
"Overall, the price is good."
"Overall, Trend Micro Deep Discovery has proven to be a reliable solution that enhances our security posture while minimizing operational disruptions."
"The tool’s licensing costs depend on the customers."
"Its price is fine, but Trend Micro can improve the pricing in general. It is a hardware solution. It is based on the number of nodes, and according to the number of nodes, clients decide which box they should acquire. They have to renew their license every year. It is subscription-based."
"The tool's licensing costs are yearly. There are no additional costs associated with the product."
