We can make more informed decisions on whether an action is malicious

The ease of use and dashboards are improving. We came in at a time when they were developing a new dashboard screen. Therefore, we have had some confusing times between the old and new dashboards. Knowing how the new one works, I have seen vast improvements with it. While the product is very good, there are still some areas for improvement. The initial triage area could be a bit simpler. They get into the weeds real fast; it gets very detailed very fast. I am still looking for an easier triage layer on top with the ability to dig deeper. They are improving on this because I have seen some improvements in the user interface that helps with this. Part of it was moving two different screens into one, merging the two together. It is very good, but it is very technically detailed and would be harder for an entry-level person to decipher. However, improvements are being made. It leverages indicators of behavior to help us remediate faster against attacks. Sometimes, I wish there was more detail on why they consider it malicious.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The interface is user-friendly."

"The most valuable feature is the capability of the command used by the machine so that we see the kind of performance that is running."

"We didn't have the visibility that we now have. It has increased our visibility by a lot. So, we put a lot more time into really looking at our environment and what is happening throughout our different networks. It has increased our visibility by around fivefold."

"The solution is efficient."

"Cybereason absolutely enables us to mitigate and isolate on the fly. Our managed detection response telemetry has dropped dramatically since we began using it. It's very top-of-mind. We were running some tabletop exercises and none of the detections were getting triggered by the managed security services provider. So we needed to find a solution that would trigger high-fidelity alerts. That was Cybereason and it dramatically changed our landscape from the detection and response perspective."

"I haven't had any issues with the solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."

"They do a very good job of providing multi-stage visualizations of malicious operations that immediately show all attack details across all devices and users. Since it is MalOp-centric model, you can see if there has been a similar operation across multiple machines. If it is the same thing appearing on multiple machines, you see all the machines and users affected in one screen."

"It gives all the information in a clear response."

More Cybereason Endpoint Detection & Response pros

"InsightIDR has allowed us to find potential security issues that we did not know existed, and get remediation quickly."

"The web interface is great — very useful and user-friendly."

"The technical support is a solid 10 out of 10 as they take the time to answer any questions or problems which may arise in a reasonable time frame."

"The solution provides satisfying native integration features"

"I like the tool's user analysis feature."

"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."

"It improved my organization by building a security alerting program."

"Rapid7 is easy to use and deploy. It is a simple solution and has easy data pulling."

Cons

"They need to improve their technical support services."

"The integration with Microsoft solutions and Microsoft capabilities needs to be improved."

"The network coverage becomes an issue most of the time."

"While the product is very good, there are still some areas for improvement. The initial triage area could be a bit simpler. They get into the weeds real fast; it gets very detailed very fast. I am still looking for an easier triage layer on top with the ability to dig deeper."

"It should be more stable, and the sensor needs improvement in terms of connectivity."

"Compared to our previous endpoint, we have a lot more false positives and a lot more duplication of alerts. So we're chasing more alerts."

"There is room for improvement in the product features related to device control, particularly USB management."

"I would like to see improvements on the operational side, specifically in grouping."

More Cybereason Endpoint Detection & Response cons

"Rapid7 doesn't integrate well with all our security tools from various vendors, so we plan to switch. Many of our solutions work with Rapid7, but some do not. We are already searching for a replacement already."

"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 reporting is the weakest aspect. There needs to be multi-level grouping for events (for example, group by user and destination). Right now, we can do a group by user and a separate table or group by destination. But I'd be more interested in where a person was logging into instead of who was logging in or where he was logging in."

"They should add more configuration and security features to it."

"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."

"The interface for doing investigation needs to be enhanced with minor improvements that would make it more useful."

"I would like to see more development in InsightIDR towards building their SIEM solution and converting it to XDR."

"The APIs can be further improved in Rapid7."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This product is somewhat expensive and should be cheaper."

"I do not have experience with the licensing of the product."

"I had to go through a third-party to purchase it, which I wasn't really pleased about."

"In terms of cost, this is a good choice for our needs."

"In terms of pricing, it's a good solution."

"Though it is not the cheapest solution but it fits our budget. We pay an annual licensing fee."

"The pricing is manageable."

"We considered a few other solutions. Some were ridiculously overpriced, while others didn't have solutions for Mac endpoints. That was a deal-breaker because most of our organization is on Mac. It came down to two vendors: Cybereason and another. They had similar pitches and almost identical approaches, but in the end, Cybereason gave us the best value for our money."

More Cybereason Endpoint Detection & Response pricing and cost advice

"The pricing and licensing are competitive."

"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 is priced very well and is cost-effective."

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

"The solution has a mid-range price point in the market"

"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."

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