I use Rapid7 InsightIDR to collect logs and information from throughout our company's entire IT environment The most valuable feature of the solution is the single pane of glass that allows me to see all the information in one spot. I can see at one spot to see all the information from all the…

It's a complete solution package
More from the perspective of SOC to ensure that every endpoint is taken care of from a cybersecurity perspective. It's a complete solution package When I go into the portal, I can see how many endpoints are enrolled or how many of them are active in place. I can see the current number of threats…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution's initial setup is easy."
"We were able to identify criminals attempting to login from China and put a stop on their IP locations."
"Log search allows us to dive deep into aggregated logs and query all event types at once.​"
"I rate Rapid7 nine out of 10 for affordability"
"Rapid7's reporting is more robust than Tenable's."
"I like the tool's user analysis feature."
"The solution is easy to use, and the interface is intuitive."
"Integration with threat modeling from the Metasploit and InsightIDR repositories."
"It's a complete solution package."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
 

Cons

"One thing that springs to mind is easier API integration with ITSMs. We are evaluating a new ITSM and I would like to have InsightIDR create a ticket when an attack is identified, and the ticket would be closed in InsightIDR when the ITSM resolution is completed. This would take out the "single point of failure" we currently have, if the email recipient is somehow absent, in recording the risk appetite for the incident and the actions taken to mitigate or not."
"Currently, it lacks the functionalities provided by Rapid7's User Behavior Analytics (UBA)."
"The integration capabilities of the solution have certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"InsightIDR's integration with other solutions could be improved. Also, I'd like more control from the portal over what's happening on the endpoint side. For example, when I see an attack on an endpoint, I want to be able to stop it from the portal."
"The APIs can be further improved in Rapid7."
"The interface for doing investigation needs to be enhanced with minor improvements that would make it more useful."
"The searching feature in Rapid7 InsightIDR needs to evolve"
"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."
"We found limitations in the XDR's detections, lacking the ability to create customized detection and log parsing rules."
"The pricing could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 straightforward. If, for some reason, you don’t meet the minimum licensing requirements, there is a third-party managed service that can help."
"​Accurately predict your licensing counts as this is a subscription based product.​"
"I rate Rapid7 InsightIDR's price a four on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"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."
"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 and licensing are competitive."
"The pricing is six out of ten."
