Helped the organization to provide high-security access to applications and performs well
From the point of view of a user, it is a scalable solution. The solution performs well with growth and is easily accessible. There are less than one hundred users because it's part of a SIP company. But in the main group, it has three thousand users. The idea is to grow and provide our service to two thousand users.

Centralized threat hunting has improved alert accuracy and simplifies incident investigations
I would say there are two areas for improvement: the reporting dashboard that provides insights or reports weekly or monthly lacks detailed information about how logs are being ingested. While the details are there, they could be more concise and easier to understand for any level of authority. The second area is alert tuning; compared to Microsoft Sentinel, Rapid7 InsightIDR provides fewer alerts with more static alert functionality and lacks dynamic alerting exposures. There could be improvements to learn from past alert activities for more dynamic alert configurations. These two areas are the main areas for improvement; everything else is good.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is easy to handle."
"We mainly use Citrix for deploying applications and providing centralized access to our clients."
"Very good scalability."
"It improves because several sensors are deployed within the on-premise environment. It can be very efficient if the customer implements and operates it effectively."
"It improved my organization by building a security alerting program."
"The ability to ingest Office 365 log files, then process them into events and display them on a map."
"The solution's initial setup is easy."
"The solution provides satisfying native integration features"
"Another very important part of insightIDR is the ability to collect data from endpoint devices via agent software. With a large remote workforce, this allows visibility into the endpoints that are connected to the internet, but not to the corporate network."
"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."
"Rapid7 InsightIDR is budget-friendly and has a good market position because not everybody can afford to go for LogRhythm or Splunk or QRadar."

Cons

"I believe there are some performance issues with the solution."
"Lacks recording features."
"The remote access features need improvement."
"The APIs can be further improved in Rapid7."
"Cloud risk assessment is one area where I think they need a lot of improvement."
"It would be useful to import threat intelligence in YARA format along with known incorrect email addresses.​"
"Personally, I feel it would greatly benefit from more supported log sources."
"The solution needs improvement in threat intelligence. Increasing the depth of intelligence to help users understand more about threats is a possibility. My suggestion is to expand access to other websites or resources."
"One thing that springs to mind is easier API integration with ITSMs. We are evaluating a new ITSM and I would like to have InsightIDR create a ticket when an attack is identified, and the ticket would be closed in InsightIDR when the ITSM resolution is completed. This would take out the "single point of failure" we currently have, if the email recipient is somehow absent, in recording the risk appetite for the incident and the actions taken to mitigate or not."
"The searching feature in Rapid7 InsightIDR needs to evolve"
"One thing that springs to mind is easier API integration with ITSMs."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is fairly priced. There are no additional costs involved, one only needs to pay the licensing cost."
"​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 more reasonably priced than other vendors."
"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."
"​Accurately predict your licensing counts as this is a subscription based product.​"
"Rapid7 InsightIDR is priced very well and is cost-effective."
"Licensing is straightforward. If, for some reason, you don’t meet the minimum licensing requirements, there is a third-party managed service that can help."
"Rapid7 InsightIDR is a cheaply priced product. On a scale of one to ten, where one is very expensive, and ten is very cheap, I rate the product's price at seven or eight."

Overview

The future works with actionable insights
Organizations have more rich data available to them than ever before, but data is only as good as the insights it provides and the actions you can take on it. Gathering this data can be unwieldy and making sense of it can be overwhelming. With machine learning applied to data that spans network traffic, users, files, and endpoints, you can identify and take action on user behavior and app performance.
