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.

Less false positives, good detection and integration capabilities, and good pricing

The incident response area should be improved. It is more difficult than other products, but overall, it is good. The platform has a lot of options and functionality. So, you need to check almost everything. For new engineers or people who don’t have much experience with this kind of platform, it is a bit difficult, but for experienced engineers, it is not that difficult. When you have been doing a lot of work for about one or two hours, and you have a lot of tabs open, it slows down or gets stuck. There is a delay of 10 to 15 seconds in opening tabs or dashboards. I don't know why this happens, but for me, it is not a big issue. I just wait, and that's all.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Integration with threat modeling from the Metasploit and InsightIDR repositories."

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

"The biggest reason why we chose Rapid7 was to gain value in a really quick time. Its deployment doesn't take months. It just takes a few days."

"Enables the use of honey pots, honey users, and honey files to monitor for suspicious patterns."

"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."

"During simulations or demonstrations, the tool generates alerts, providing details such as the specific application, its origin, and potential threats. For instance, it can identify if an application belongs to a known ransomware group. The system rates the threat, offering a clear detection ratio, such as 97 out of 100. It not only identifies threats but also illustrates the associated behaviors, helping us understand the potential risk to a particular endpoint."

"Rapid7 InsightIDR integrates well with other solutions. It's also easy to configure because Rapid7 InsightIDR has a lot of instructions posted on their website that customers can follow if they need to get the source log."

More Rapid7 InsightIDR pros

"There aren't any positive aspects of the solution. It was a complete failure. There are no redeeming features."

"What I like most is that the threat models and risk scoring are very accurate and very helpful to the analysts on my team. They help highlight the most important things for them to look at."

"We can select the resource group name or functionality directly of which type of security tool logs we want. We don't need to write the query for that; we just have to select."

"I was looking for software as a service rather than having issues with managing hardware, upgrades, updates. I was trying to step away from that. Those were the key factors when looking at Securonix as a full-feature SIEM with next-generation capabilities available."

"The scalability is one of the remarkable qualities of this product, which makes it very effective, especially when we are dealing with substantial data volumes in the cloud."

"The machine-learning algorithms are the most valuable feature because they're able to identify the 'needle in the haystack.'"

"The user interface is easy to learn and navigate."

"The solution is stable and scalable."

More Securonix Next-Gen SIEM pros

Cons

"Cloud risk assessment is one area where I think they need a lot of improvement."

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

"The APIs can be further improved in Rapid7."

"The product allows us to make only 30 custom rules."

"I would like to see more development in InsightIDR towards building their SIEM solution and converting it to XDR."

"It takes time for the product's support team to resolve issues, making it an area of concern where improvements are required."

"The reporting is the weakest aspect. There needs to be multi-level grouping for events (for example, group by user and destination). Right now, we can do a group by user and a separate table or group by destination. But I'd be more interested in where a person was logging into instead of who was logging in or where he was logging in."

"Needs a better ability to customize the check within the console."

More Rapid7 InsightIDR cons

"Securonix Next-Gen SIEM's deployment is complex and you need a team to do it."

"When dealing with a large amount of data, such as when firewall logs increase, queries sometimes crash or get stuck."

"We have a lot of users who, because they're engineers and they're bringing down product data - where, at times, a top-level product could be 10,000 or 15,000 objects - it's difficult for us to determine what should be a concern and what shouldn't be a concern. We work with the Securonix folks to try to come up with better ways to identify that."

"The dashboards in Securonix Next-Gen SIEM need more customization and informational capabilities."

"Regarding the analysis of security events on the SOC side, Securonix Next-Gen SIEM needs to improve its automation capabilities."

"It takes too long to generate Spotter reports. For example, a 90-day report is around 100 megabytes. That takes a while, but a one-day report can be generated in a few seconds. We would be happy if they sped up the process."

"One aspect that could be improved is the pricing of the product in Brazil."

"The pricing. I'm not sure how they are proceeding with the identity based pricing compared with DB pricing which most of the vendors are using today."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"The pricing is good, and it is not very expensive."

"The pricing of the solution depends on the user. But there is a yearly licensing cost."

"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."

"I rate Rapid7 InsightIDR's price a four on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."

"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."

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

"The solution has a mid-range price point in the market"

More Rapid7 InsightIDR pricing and cost advice

"Compared to other known brands in the industry, the overall cost of the licenses is a bit higher than what customers expect."

"Licensing is based on events per second (EPS), costing between $50 to $60 per EPS."

"Its pricing is quite similar to others and is very competitive. The other solutions have different types of licensing, but when you do the math, it is competitive."

"The solution's price is double the competitors."

"We have an annual license. We pay $200,000 for the base licensing and we pay another $50,000 for the software as a service."

"The pricing is good, but by adding more things, the licensing becomes more complex because an EPS license fluctuates a lot. This licensing concept is going to be problematic in the long run."

"I rate the pricing an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is very expensive. It is a pretty expensive tool."

"Its price is fine. We found it to be cheaper than LogRhythm, Exabeam, Splunk, as well as Elastic Security. A few months ago, when we were comparing Securonix with Elastic Security, we found Securonix to be cheaper than Elasticsearch. We were pretty surprised that Elastic Security is more expensive than Securonix because Elasticsearch is just starting, and it cannot compete with Securonix at this time. So, the pricing of Securonix is pretty good for now."
