An affordable solution that provides automation workflows and allows users to customize alerts
Pros and Cons
  • "The product allows us to customize our alerts."
  • "The product should provide full transparency in security operations."

What is our primary use case?

We use the solution in our security operation center. We use the tool to provide more visibility into the security operation center.

What is most valuable?

It is a good solution. It's not a black box. Our security operations center has similar access to the console that we have access to. It's very open. The product has automation workflows. It has around 5000 detections in it. I trust the solution.

The product is continuously developing. Whenever something new comes out, the product is upgraded. We can also bring in community threat feeds. The product allows us to customize our alerts. Log query searching has come a long way. It doesn’t require us to code anymore. We can just type in what we are looking for.

We can also deploy our agents. The good thing about agents is that we can use the automation workflow to disable user accounts. We can also make it disable and quarantine an asset. These features are provided right out of the box. The workflows do not cost us more money.

What needs improvement?

The product should provide full transparency in security operations. I want to see what's exactly going on on the other side. I want to know what is happening, what my security operations center is doing, and whether they are working for me.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using the solution for four to five years for two to three different companies.

How are customer service and support?

The nice thing about MDR is that we have a number to call. If there's something major or risky, we have a telephone number for that group.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I have used Arctic Wolf. We switched to Rapid7 MDR because we didn’t get a lot of insight from Arctic Wolf, and it provided a lot of false positives.

How was the initial setup?

I rate the ease of setup a seven out of ten. It is not bad. It takes a little bit more time. It will probably take three weeks to get the product up and running, especially by the time we deploy all the agents.

What about the implementation team?

We need four people to deploy the solution. It includes server, network, security, and desktop experts.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The product is not overly priced. We can buy products for a cheaper price, but we will not get as much technology.

What other advice do I have?

I trust the tool with my network. Overall, I rate the product a nine out of ten.
