Featured Reviews

Federico_Villanueva - PeerSpot reviewer
Cybersecurity Director at Infra-tech
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.
SohailHyder - PeerSpot reviewer
Head of Cyber Security at Super Secure
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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Very good scalability."
"The solution is easy to handle."
"I am able to run automated actions based on the output of reports, leaving me extra time to focus on more pressing matters."
"​​User behavioral analytics allows us to pinpoint abnormal or suspicious behavior among millions of events every day."
"The solution provides satisfying native integration features"
"The product works well. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Features for user behavior analytics and the rules for attack review are good."
"I like the tool's user analysis feature."
"The UI is very good."
"Enables the use of honey pots, honey users, and honey files to monitor for suspicious patterns."
 

Cons

"The remote access features need improvement."
"Lacks recording features."
"InsightIDR is only available in a cloud version. Some of our customers prefer an on-prem solution because they want to manage the security within their environment."
"Needs a better ability to customize the check within the console."
"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."
"Lacks a mobile application."
"The product allows us to make only 30 custom rules."
"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."
"Currently, it lacks the functionalities provided by Rapid7's User Behavior Analytics (UBA)."
"I would like to see more development in InsightIDR towards building their SIEM solution and converting it to XDR."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is fairly priced. There are no additional costs involved, one only needs to pay the licensing cost."
"The pricing is good, and it is not very expensive."
"It is on a yearly basis. For our own company, for about 250 users, it was 16,000 euros a year."
"It is more reasonably priced than other vendors."
"The team is very willing to work with companies. My suggestion is to call the Rapid7 sales department and see how they can help.​"
"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."
"​I am sure that there are cheaper products out there, but none that meet so many of our needs whilst maintaining stability and usability.​"
"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."
"​Accurately predict your licensing counts as this is a subscription based product.​"
