Senior Process Expert at A.P. Moller - Maersk

Gained full visibility and streamlined threat detection through behavior-based insights and AI integration

Initially, we got to have a lot of false positives when we onboarded, but nowadays it's quite smooth. We have fine-tuned our security policies and allowed different levels of policies to get rid of those false positives. Currently, we are getting a fairly good amount of incidents that are not false positives or benign, but actionable items. The process is streamlined. In the initial days, the operations used to get involved in a lot of benign and other activities, but now the process is streamlined. We are leveraging the auto-detection and remediation plans. The operations teams are now more involved in other business roles as well, not just looking into the logs and fetching out what's happening there. They have fixed a lot of things. Initially, they didn't have IAC code drift detection, cloud posture management, or security posture management, but they have those now. They purchased different vendors and did a merger with that. They have now Prisma Cloud that gets integrated and now they are working with Cortex Cloud. Everything that was negative has now been addressed, and the product altogether looks to be in a very better and mature shape now. Currently, it's more or less detecting the workloads with AI-based best practices. Since most organizations are consuming AI agents and other things, we are looking forward to seeing what other feature enhancements Palo Alto can support in that.

Rifat Hasan

System Engineer at Corporate Projukti Limited

Has lacked proper integration and consistent support communication

I selected Logpoint for the pricing as it is reasonable. I am located in Bangladesh, South Asia, Dhaka. I have tried to contact Exabeam by mail repeatedly, but there has been no response. My company, Corporate Projukti Limited, including my Bangladesh area head, technical director, and team manager, have sent emails to contact Exabeam solution, but there is no response. There is already a distributor in Bangladesh. The weakness with Logpoint is UEBA. UEBA is recommended, but not extra. Exabeam's UEBA is an extra feature. SOAR is extra, but Logpoint's product measurement is 40 or 50. There is a 10% difference with the UEBA and SOAR, so Logpoint is weak there. I would appreciate extra features in Logpoint such as SOAR. SOAR and UEBA are included features in Logpoint. Logpoint's UEBA is a weak point, while Exabeam's UEBA has extra AI through automation. Exabeam has a license included, and the extra license is an add-on. In Logpoint, it is included, which makes it a weak point.

Prajwal Chougale

SPC L2 Analyst at a tech services company with 51-200 employees

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

"I like that the product has behavior-based detection which offers many benefits over signature-based detection."

"But overall, when we speak about security and protection, they are one of the top providers."

"Previously, we had to install endpoint protection per machine and then scan and update, but Cortex XDR basically does that centrally and predictably, so we have more time to do day-to-day work rather than spend time chasing those endpoints."

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks has changed the way my security team detects, investigates, and responds to threats, as we are able to see the files, unwanted files, unsecured files, and unauthorized files, so we are quarantining them."

"We've had a significant increase in blocking with a decrease in false positives, because it's looking at how the files work, not just a list of files that it's been told to look for."

"I generally believe that Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is probably the best in the market right now."

"On a scale from one to ten, I would rate Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks a nine."

"It has absolutely improved the way our organization functions, we are more secure, it is giving us more peace of mind, and it has found malicious activity happening on our endpoints that probably would not have been detected if we didn't have it."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"In my experience with medium-sized operations, LogPoint's scalability is excellent, so I would rate it a ten out of ten."

"Technical support is responsive and very friendly."

"The most valuable features are the ones that we use the most, which are the search and report facilities."

"What I like best about LogPoint is its cost-effectiveness compared to other solutions. LogPoint also has better dashboards which I find valuable. I also like that you can create use cases based on your assets."

"It is an AI technology because it is using machine learning technology. So far, there is nothing better out there for UEBA in terms of monitoring endpoints and user activity. It is using machine learning language, so it is right at the top. It provides that capability and monitors all the activities. It devises a baseline and monitors if there is any deviation from the baseline."

"Log collection, dashboards and reporting are good."

"The solution is user-friendly."

"They basically charge you in a better way."

More Logpoint pros

"Features for user behavior analytics and the rules for attack review are good."

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

"The solution is very stable and works very well for what I need it to do."

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

"The ability to ingest Office 365 log files, then process them into events and display them on a map."

"Great coverage of all systems within our network from endpoint to firewall."

"Rapid7 InsightIDR has positively impacted my organization by capturing most logs and every minute detail, including endpoint logs, network logs, and any email-related logs if a malicious link has been clicked."

"We were able to identify criminals attempting to login from China and put a stop on their IP locations."

More Rapid7 InsightIDR pros

Cons

"I don't like that they have different types of licenses. For example, if users select a license, they think they will have all the platforms they need to improve their network or security. But after some time, Palo Alto Networks changed their licensing, and some of the features that, for example, were free at the beginning now have a cost. I think the integration can be improved. For example, a lot of tools are just integrated through APIs."

"The main issue I could point out is the offline agents and the way that it is missing."

"I would like to see improvement in the tool's user interface, particularly in the area of managing alerts and providing more reporting capabilities."

"It is a complex solution to implement."

"It would be good if they could make an exception for applications. Sometimes, it can be a bit of a challenge to make exceptions for certain applications that have been used as rogue."

"It is not easy to sell Cortex XDR, not because it isn't a good tool. Its marketing needs to be improved."

"The price could be a little lower."

"Data privacy is a matter of concern. You have to be careful with data privacy, it can be sensitive and Cortex can have most of your access."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"LogPoint is complex and we don't have the skills to maintain use cases or even to extend the use cases."

"My issues with the product are mainly with regard to how it handles collecting logs."

"Nowadays the trend is going towards the ransomware and the endpoint detection and response. So if they added something for that, that will be very, very good."

"What could be improved in LogPoint is its UI because it's less friendly to users than LogRhythm. The UI could be more aesthetically appealing to users. It's completely outdated."

"Customer Service: This is a HUGE problem."

"I would rate the stability of Logpoint as a six out of ten. I have received reports indicating glitches and downtimes with Logpoint."

"The documentation part is something that needs to be improved, as well as the threat intelligence investigation part."

"It is a good product, but its interface or GUI could be better."

More Logpoint cons

"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."

"I'd like to be able to get the compliance report within the solution which is currently not possible."

"Currently, it lacks the functionalities provided by Rapid7's User Behavior Analytics (UBA)."

"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."

"Lacks a mobile application."

"Cloud risk assessment is one area where I think they need a lot of improvement."

"It takes time for the product's support team to resolve issues, making it an area of concern where improvements are required."

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is "expensive" and flexible."

"The price was fine."

"The cost of Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is $55 to $90 USD per endpoint per month."

"I did PoCs on products called Cylance and CrowdStrike. Although, I consider these products and they were also good, when it come to cost and budgetary factors, Traps has been proven to be better than the other two products. It is quite cost-effective and delivers all the entire solution which we require."

"Very costly product."

"When we first bought it, it was a bit expensive, but it was worth it. The licensing was straightforward."

"This is an expensive solution."

"I don't like that they have different types of licenses."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

"It's getting more expensive, which is one of the reasons we're looking around just to see if there's anything better value."

"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I would rate LogPoint's pricing a seven. It is not very expensive compared to some of the more costly products, and it is not very cheap compared to some of the cheaper products in the SIEM market."

"Logpoint's pricing is mid-ranged and depends on the number of devices."

"It's less expensive than the competitors. The Logpoint marketing team is very accommodating and client-friendly. They offer very good reductions in price. They are pretty good in this aspect. They are transparent in their licensing and pricing."

"LogPoint seemed like it was a good product, but it was expensive and there wasn't any room to move the pricing when customers needed a lower-costing solution."

"It has a fixed price, which is what I like about LogPoint. I bought the system and paid for it, and I pay maintenance. It is not a consumption model. Most SIEMs or most of the log management systems are consumption-based, which means that you pay for how many logs you have in the system. That's a real problem because logs can grow very quickly in different circumstances, and when you have a variable price model, you never know what you're going to pay. Splunk is notoriously expensive for that reason. If you use Splunk or QRadar, it becomes expensive because there are not just the logs; you also have to parse the logs and create indexes. Those indexes can be very expensive in terms of space. Therefore, if they charge you by this space, you can end up paying a significant amount of money. It can be more than what you expect to pay. I like the fact that LogPoint has a fixed cost. I know what I'm going to pay on a yearly basis. I pay that, and I pay the maintenance, and I just make it work."

"For a hundred user deployment the cost is about $10,000. The next year it would be the same because it's a subscription-based license. There are separate costs as well, for example, if a customer asks for training for their staff."

"It was on a yearly basis at about $100K. It was not a huge environment. We were running it on our own virtual server environment, which, of course, had a cost. There was hardware and some energy cost, and then there were Microsoft Windows licenses for servers. That's all, but there was nothing in comparison to the licensing costs."

More Logpoint pricing and cost advice

"It is a reasonably priced solution."

"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."

"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."

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

"I rate Rapid7 InsightIDR's price a four on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."

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

"The pricing of the solution depends on the user. But there is a yearly licensing cost."
