Featured Reviews

SohailHyder - PeerSpot reviewer
Head Of Cyber Security at Super Secure
Has supported compliance needs for mid-sized organizations but lacks customization and advanced integration
If we pitch Rapid7 InsightIDR against solutions such as SIEMs from Splunk or LogRhythm, it is not as customizable as a SIEM solution is. This is where it can improve if we keep in front the feature sets of a complete SIEM solution. Most common in the market is QRadar, but it is depleting now. It has been taken over by some other products such as Splunk and LogRhythm. If we compare these things with Rapid7 InsightIDR, then there are definitely some gaps that need to be filled. Data retention is also one concern because Rapid7 InsightIDR is cloud-based and operates on a subscription model. Whatever data you want to retain, it has to be paid for separately or it has a cost. Other solutions that are on-premises can have their own infrastructure or they provide some data retention for a month or in some capacity-wise, they provide that solution to them which makes them more attractive.

Support both French and English, which is important for us and adapted to the evolving security landscape over time in my experience
You need a skilled engineer to deploy it because you can do anything with this tool. You can see everything on the network. A good engineer will be surprised and have fun using this tool because it's very powerful. Deployment process: You need to build a recipe/layout when you want to deploy something. Once the recipe is done, you just have to copy it. So you really need a good engineer at first, but then any other technician can copy the recipe. You don't need to be an expert once the recipe is finalized. So, once you have it set up, it's easy to deploy. But you need a good engineer to deploy it correctly. You will get alerts from the system, but if you want to fully explore and maximize the tool, the engineering needs are different.
