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.

Enhanced threat detection through superior sandboxing capabilities with competitive pricing

With Trend Micro Deep Discovery, our enterprise clients can identify forgotten or unmanaged network segments, thereby mitigating unexpected network actions such as outdated antivirus software operations. When under attack, such as with ransomware, it allows us to identify the attack vector and disable it. It also assists in security audits required to prove certain network security measures.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The incident case management is the most valuable feature. Even though there's always something I find I would like to add to that feature, the ability to quickly sort through all the logs, network and endpoint data, etc., and add it to an incident case as part of the investigation, is nice. Having it automatically timeline that additional data into the original incident timeline, and correlate it to other notable events and activities on the network, results in a huge improvement in our overall confidence that we've quickly traced down the right source of an issue."

"Rapid7's reporting is more robust than Tenable's."

"InsightIDR’s ability to process millions of transactions per day, and to notify me of the most critical ones, is priceless. InsightIDR has the alerts tuned, and has the ability to quickly drill down to determine the threat level."

"The UI is very good."

"Enables the use of honey pots, honey users, and honey files to monitor for suspicious patterns."

"The biggest reason why we chose Rapid7 was to gain value in a really quick time. Its deployment doesn't take months. It just takes a few days."

"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."

More Rapid7 InsightIDR pros

"The product is very easy to install."

"The tool's most valuable feature is its collaboration with other products. Integrating with other security products was simple and easy."

"Trend Micro Deep Discovery is a very specific product for threat intelligence with smart protection."

"The reporting is very good, providing detailed analysis in a short amount of time."

"The performance and stability are great."

"The product's initial setup phase was not difficult."

"I like the sales operations testing. and support."

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

More Trend Micro Deep Discovery pros

Cons

"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."

"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."

"Lacks a mobile application."

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

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

"The searching feature in Rapid7 InsightIDR needs to evolve"

"InsightIDR's integration with other solutions could be improved. Also, I'd like more control from the portal over what's happening on the endpoint side. For example, when I see an attack on an endpoint, I want to be able to stop it from the portal."

More Rapid7 InsightIDR cons

"Additionally, better scanning capabilities for third-party applications would ensure comprehensive security without the need for exclusions."

"The solution could be more stable and offer more security."

"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."

"I would like the ability to analyze all files in our internal network, at the same time on different operating systems. Not just three of them, but as many as possible."

"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."

"Trend Micro Deep Discovery's technical support could be improved, and it could be made more active."

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

"Some of the end users may not be technically proficient, so they occasionally face problems due to a lack of knowledge."

More Trend Micro Deep Discovery cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing and licensing are competitive."

"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."

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

"The team is very willing to work with companies. My suggestion is to call the Rapid7 sales department and see how they can help."

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

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

More Rapid7 InsightIDR pricing and cost advice

"Compared to its competitors, Trend Micro Deep Discovery is a little expensive."

"Overall, Trend Micro Deep Discovery has proven to be a reliable solution that enhances our security posture while minimizing operational disruptions."

"The licensing cost is a bit pricey. We pay a yearly subscription."

"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."

"Overall, the price is good."

"The tool's licensing costs are yearly. There are no additional costs associated with the product."

"The pricing is okay for some, and sometimes, some people find it expensive."

"The tool’s licensing costs depend on the customers."
