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

"The security level that they are maintaining with the pre-authentication keys is very good."
"Simple configuration and automatically syncs to the cloud platform."
"The incident case management is the most valuable feature. Even though there's always something I find I would like to add to that feature, the ability to quickly sort through all the logs, network and endpoint data, etc., and add it to an incident case as part of the investigation, is nice. Having it automatically timeline that additional data into the original incident timeline, and correlate it to other notable events and activities on the network, results in a huge improvement in our overall confidence that we've quickly traced down the right source of an issue."
"I like the tool's user analysis feature."
"Intelligent alerting to avoid the common problem of alert fatigue associated with traditional SIEMs."
"InsightIDR has allowed us to find potential security issues that we did not know existed, and get remediation quickly."
"Log search allows us to dive deep into aggregated logs and query all event types at once.​"
"The alerting to drive investigations and remediation has been its most valuable feature.​"
"I have seen that Rapid7 InsightIDR provides security to the networks and endpoints in the company."
 

Cons

"The solution could improve by providing better documentation for beginners to learn, such as videos or other tutorials."
"Currently, it lacks the functionalities provided by Rapid7's User Behavior Analytics (UBA)."
"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."
"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."
"The interface for doing investigation needs to be enhanced with minor improvements that would make it more useful."
"Needs a better ability to customize the check within the console."
"One of the things that could be better is digital forensics. It is there, but it can be better. They could provide more on the endpoint detection level."
"Customised alert recipients need to be added to allow better first-line action and quicker response. Configurable honeypots would be a welcome addition."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is not expensive for the data security measure you receive, it is reasonable."
"​Accurately predict your licensing counts as this is a subscription based product.​"
"It is more reasonably priced than other vendors."
"The pricing and licensing are competitive."
"The solution has a mid-range price point in the market"
"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."
"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 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."
