Real-time security management with potential for enhanced training materials
I use ManageEngine Log360 to manage company alerts. It is used in the security part, looking for issues in Active Directory and performing various tasks in Office 365 Using ManageEngine Log360 has been a significant improvement for our company because it consolidates multiple tools into a single…
Asim Naeem - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"My main objective for using ManageEngine Log360 is its powerful and real-time capabilities for managing security and other tasks efficiently."
"It is easier to deploy than are other SIEMs, which is great. You can also get an overview of your environment, which is very handy."
"The solution could be improved by including XDR, remediation and Sandbox."
"You can have all of the logs from servers to network and it gets sent out to the correct owners. This is very helpful."
"The deployment is quite simple and pretty straightforward."
"The most valuable feature is that this solution is more secure than others, and there are more applications and features as well."
"ManageEngine Log360 is not difficult to deploy."
"The reports that you can run are really nice."
"If you were on other solutions, you would notice that they use agents from third-party, from open-source, from a native OS, or from other tools. Here, however, it is an agent from Rapid7 itself. This adds to the solution's overall capabilities."
"I like that it's a cloud-based solution."
"The alerting to drive investigations and remediation has been its most valuable feature.​"
"Log search allows us to dive deep into aggregated logs and query all event types at once.​"
"I definitely recommend Rapid7 InsightIDR."
"I like the tool's user analysis feature."
"Features for user behavior analytics and the rules for attack review are good."
"The solution is very scalable in terms of the licensing model."
 

Cons

"The support needs improvement."
"It is not expensive compared to other solutions."
"The solution needs to improve hub storage. It should integrate AI and ML capabilities."
"It takes a little bit of time for Log360 to actually learn your environment."
"There is room for improvement, especially in the reporting aspect. The reports are not as good as those in Splunk."
"The solution lacks some features when compared to other products."
"It's difficult to find which conditions have been applied to a report because they are provided by default by ManageEngine. However, with other SIEMs if you want to create a report, they provide details, like which conditions are triggering certain reports. This needs to be there in ManageEngine. It would be good to know which parameter has been applied to the report that is updating the system."
"Their technical support should be improved."
"The solution's XDR agents cannot compete with the XDR solutions out there yet."
"Inability to get access to compliance reports within the solution."
"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."
"The searching feature in Rapid7 InsightIDR needs to evolve"
"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."
"They should add more configuration and security features to it."
"The dashboard is an area that could be simplified."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"My client has a yearly license. I think the cost is not expensive compared to that of other SIEMs, given the service it is providing."
"There is a cost for each feature used."
"Affordable pricing is provided by the solution."
"ManageEngine Log360 is expensive compared to other products."
"Its pricing is definitely huge compared to some of the other SIEMs. Its price should be improved."
"It is a reasonably priced solution."
"The pricing of the solution depends on the user. But there is a yearly licensing cost."
"The team is very willing to work with companies. My suggestion is to call the Rapid7 sales department and see how they can help.​"
"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."
"The solution has a mid-range price point in the market"
"Rapid7 InsightIDR's pricing is reasonable."
"The pricing is good, and it is not very expensive."
"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."
