Featured Reviews

Wail Khachfa - PeerSpot reviewer
Easy configuration and great user behaviour analysis and automation
The major feature of this solution is its easy configuration which helps different team members to work on it effectively. This kind of feature is not available in other solutions that need a special team dedicated to configure and extract reports. Another feature that I really admire is the significant improvement in the compliance in the auditing process by the solution. Our organisation-specific complaints require where the data needs to be forwarded, stored and searchable for a certain time period. This solution categorizes different types of data: cold, warm, and hot data. These features allow faster and easier extraction of any data even if the event was occurring several years ago. I also like other features, especially user behaviour analysis and automation. It studies the user behavior and if there is unusual traffic is recorded from a user, the solution flags it very effectively.

A cloud solution to collect and analyse logs with timely support
We should understand the basic concepts of Rapid7 InsightOps. We are using Rapid7 InsightOps to collect and analyze data. We need to ensure that our environment is suitable before proceeding. The solution is user-friendly and support all environment like Linux, Windows, CentOS, etc. It is suitable for all. Overall, I rate the solution a nine 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 ability to drill down and pivot from an event is one of the biggest advantage the product has compared to other things that I have seen in the market."
"Technical support has always been helpful."
"The most valuable features of the solution are network monitoring, user behavior analytics, and log collection."
"LogRhythm NextGen SIEM covers all our primary security analysis needs. It makes it easier for us to analyze threats and improves our response times. It's a versatile platform that performs queries fast compared to other SIEM solutions."
"LogRhythm has increased productivity because all the tools that we need are in the web UI, allowing us to find threats on our network fast and efficiently."
"The artificial intelligence engine."
"The dashboards in the LogRhythm SIEM really help us as a starting point. It gives us a starting point we can go to every day. We walk through several dashboards to see anomalous activity for further investigation."
"The log analysis feature is valuable."
"It has the ability to alert and track logs from different sources."
"The most valuable feature of Rapid7 InsightOps is the search functionality."
"The ability to browse logs from multiple sources at the same time really speeds up root cause analysis."
"We can save logs as plain text."
"Integration of InsightOps with other tools, especially SIEM solutions, has generally improved operational efficiency."
 

Cons

"I would really like to see some type of group or global management for RIM policies,"
"There are other security technologies outside of this SIEM that should be inside of this SIEM. I can see in their roadmap that they're trying to address a lot of these things, and have these technologies built into the solution, because there is no point in going to another vendor or opening up a second window to obtain the data that you need."
"We have run into problems with stability going through upgrade processes. Recently, we have been on the front edge of the upgrade path. When that happens we tend to run into issues either with certain functionality not working after the upgrades or stability issues because of the upgrades."
"Sometimes, the tool fails to get the correlated events that triggered the alerts."
"I would like to see support added for Exchange 2016, and CheckPoint OPSec Lea."
"The solution is likely not the best option for a smaller organization."
"The product's initial setup phase is pretty complex."
"The pricing is the only problem."
"Since I used the beta, improvements are to be expected. The dashboard options could have been clearer, but I believe it is more a problem with the limited documentation available at the time."
"Improvement is needed in the dashboard of InsightOps, especially for less technical users."
"Rapid7 InsightOps could improve by making the search query better. There are times when the search query is broken and it does not find anything."
"There are a few things I would like to do with a few more complex queries which I am not able to do right now, because it is a SaaS solution."
"The solution takes a little bit of time when we load the website for the first time."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The setup and licensing for small and medium size businesses is straightforward, though when it comes to the enterprise it pays to keep in mind the possibility for complications given all the extras and add-ons that may be required."
"It is a very cost-effective solution."
"The product is inexpensive than other tools."
"I would recommend that whatever sales quotes to them upfront, they will probably go up. Because they are probably going to outgrow that very quickly or once they start getting everything into it, they are going to have to move up anyway."
"We did a five-year agreement. We pay close to a quarter of a million dollars for our solution."
"In comparison to the competition, they are more affordable. This allows us to do more with less."
"LogRhythm's pricing and licensing is extremely competitive and it's one of the top three reasons we continue to invest in the platform."
"Look for whatever will give you the most value. That's the main point. It is not one size fits all."
"The product is cheap."
