A solution that offers easy setup and deployment phases, along with great scalability and stability
I rate the initial setup a ten out of ten. The solution's initial setup was very straightforward. The solution is deployed on an on-premises and cloud model. The cloud services are provided by Rapid7. The solution can be deployed in half a day or four hours in a small environment. I was the only person involved in the product's deployment phase.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The tool's reports show activities."
"I have made use of technical support and am certainly very satisfied with them."
"What I found most useful in ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is its integration with other ManageEngine applications. It seamlessly integrates throughout the ManageEngine suite, and that's beneficial. I also like that the solution has chain management capabilities, it has a modular approach, and it's easy to reach the support team."
"The reporting features are noteworthy, as they provide templates that streamline the process of generating reports"
"The log management has helped to improve my organization."
"ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is easy to gather reports to give to management. My supervisor has access to the solution and he enjoys the graphs."
"The initial setup is straightforward"
"It's one of the easiest products. It's very simple to use."
"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."
"The log aggregation and storage provided by InsightIDR has shown no issues with scalability; aggregating over one hundred millions events daily."
"Log search allows us to dive deep into aggregated logs and query all event types at once.​"
"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."
"During simulations or demonstrations, the tool generates alerts, providing details such as the specific application, its origin, and potential threats. For instance, it can identify if an application belongs to a known ransomware group. The system rates the threat, offering a clear detection ratio, such as 97 out of 100. It not only identifies threats but also illustrates the associated behaviors, helping us understand the potential risk to a particular endpoint."
"Great coverage of all systems within our network from endpoint to firewall."
"Rapid7's reporting is more robust than Tenable's."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten. As a cloud tool, the product is highly scalable."
 

Cons

"I would like to see more detailed reports."
"The solution is stable. However, there are limits. For example, we can do 2,500 Syslog events per second, but if we want to do more we have to install the distributor structure, and then we can expand how many events we can do. They could improve the stability."
"Support could improve to make the solution better."
"There isn't good security integration when it comes to cybersecurity. The correlation of logs isn't so simple."
"The first tier of customer service and support is not great."
"There's a lot to improve in terms of connectivity. Currently, we're utilizing it across various infrastructures and environments, including others' cloud. However, connecting it to our infrastructure and integrating it with some of our SMAX solutions poses difficulties."
"It may not be as easy to use as Splunk."
"The scalability is limited."
"I would like to see more development in InsightIDR towards building their SIEM solution and converting it to XDR."
"I would like the ability to adjust the threshold of certain existing alerts. Currently the only option is to change the notifications or create my own alert."
"The APIs can be further improved in Rapid7."
"Needs a better ability to customize the check within the console."
"The integration capabilities of the solution have certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"Currently, it lacks the functionalities provided by Rapid7's User Behavior Analytics (UBA)."
"The main problem lies in the processes within the client's operating systems."
"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."

"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."
"It is a reasonably priced solution."
"The solution has a mid-range price point in the market"
"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.

"The pricing and licensing are competitive."
