Transparent mode for privileged sessions will greatly simplify our client's administrative situation

We're introducing the solution's transparent mode for privileged sessions. This is part of what the client hasn't used before. It will simplify their administrative situation greatly. So far, the rollout of this feature has been a seamless process, but we're still in the midst of rolling it out. The benefits will be on the risk side. Right now, the way accounts are managed, you don't necessarily know who is using an account. There's a shared admin account, and that's not a good thing. And those accounts are shared in wallets by several people. One of the real benefits of safeguarding here is that the client will have an absolute audit of who is using an administrative interface, whether it's server or network.

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 scalability of One Identity Safeguard is perfect, scoring ten out of ten."

"One of the most important aspects is that it is very easy to use and install. It is also agentless, so all of the operations happen more smoothly than any other product."

"The extensible framework for authentication is one of the most valuable features. We use an MFA plug-in and a lot of different factors, depending on what the business use-cases are. And of course, the auditing functionality is also valuable."

"There is ease of implementation."

"The transparent mode for privileged sessions is one of the best things for customers, because they don't see the system in-between."

"There are numerous valuable data protection features, including the content and information that offer us more scalable protection as needed."

"Safeguard can define and update processes and procedures into the security framework of a company, including mobile. It allows us to change the policies and configurations on a mass scale in regards to security."

"There is ease of implementation. Compared to other PAM solutions, it is easy to implement and use from an administrator's point of view."

More One Identity Safeguard pros

"InsightIDR helps us investigate an environment to discover information about incidents."

"Rapid7's reporting is more robust than Tenable's."

"Intelligent alerting to avoid the common problem of alert fatigue associated with traditional SIEMs."

"The solution provides satisfying native integration features"

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

"Dashboards, including the main screen, provide much-needed information at a glance, without hours of coding and sifting through logs to find it. In case of an actual security incident, I have faith that insightIDR has retained all logs in a secure manner that prevents log tampering as well."

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

"It is a very stable solution."

More Rapid7 InsightIDR pros

Cons

"Something for One Identity to look at is having integration guidelines for how to logically group accounts."

"The main thing that needs improvement is the slowness. Apart from that, the change password check-in feature also needs improvement because it is not working perfectly accurately."

"On a scale of one to ten, the stability is an eight."

"For some users, the physical appliance has been a bit buggy."

"Improving the way we develop new connectors for non-typical systems would be beneficial."

"We are still in the onboarding phase, and it seems very manual. Ideally, a single interface to integrate all these processes would be useful."

"I would like to see an adjustment with more enterprise architecture. You can buy multiple appliances but you can not fully separate different functions, so scaling might be a bit more complicated."

"We can't review or audit HTTP and HTTPS. This functionality should be added so that we can review and audit HTTP and HTTPS."

More One Identity Safeguard cons

"Rapid7 InsightIDR is not intuitive to search for logs. It should be more user-friendly and improve the dashboards. We should be able to use ready-made templates instead of having to build one."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"Customised alert recipients need to be added to allow better first-line action and quicker response. Configurable honeypots would be a welcome addition."

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

"It would be useful to import threat intelligence in YARA format along with known incorrect email addresses."

"I feel it would greatly benefit from more supported log sources."

More Rapid7 InsightIDR cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is more expensive than Secret Server but way less expensive than CyberArk. As a customer, I would like the pricing to be lower, but it has a good price point."

"We have a yearly license. The cost depends on how much a company wants to invest in technology. In our organization, we believe in modern digitization and automation processes so we found it affordable. One Identity was not that much less than other solutions and it is not a cheap solution. There were number of cheaper solutions. However, it's the most effective, according to our evaluation."

"It is a bit on the pricey side, but you get what you pay for. You don't want to get anything too cheap because then you get cheap stuff and cheap support. That really never helps anybody."

"As compared to other products, it is reasonable, but the training sessions are too expensive."

"The pricing depends on our perspective, our budget, and, of course, the competitors we are taking into account."

"The license is very expensive for us, partly due to inflation and partly because of the exchange rate between the Dollar and the Iranian Rial. We purchased a perpetual license that we've been using up until now, but I believe that we are not going to update it in the future. Instead, we plan to find another third-party to support us with the license, in the sense that we would have access to their license as a shared agreement."

"One Identity Safeguard is expensive and the cost goes up as we scale."

"The full license is expensive but if you plan to use it in a big organization then it is the best option because it is more flexible."

More One Identity Safeguard pricing and cost advice

"Rapid7 InsightIDR charges us based on the endpoints we connect to."

"I am sure that there are cheaper products out there, but none that meet so many of our needs whilst maintaining stability and usability."

"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."

"The pricing and licensing are competitive."

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

"Rapid7 InsightIDR is priced very well and is cost-effective."

"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."
