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

"The log aggregation and storage provided by InsightIDR has shown no issues with scalability; aggregating over one hundred millions events daily."

"The solution is very scalable in terms of the licensing model."

"The product works well. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."

"User behavioral analytics allows us to pinpoint abnormal or suspicious behavior among millions of events every day."

"The platform offers unlimited storage and agent-based solutions."

"The UI is very good."

"I like the tool's user analysis feature."

"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

"The second feature is that within the SNYPR product there is a functionality called Spotter. We use that for link analysis diagrams and to run the stats command. That's extremely useful because it replaces a tedious, manual process we used to use, using Microsoft Excel and a couple of other methods, to bring data together."

"When we were looking for products for our security monitoring needs, our biggest requirement was that we wanted something based on machine-learning and analytics. If you go with rules, it can raise a lot of noise. Securonix, with its UEBA capability, had the best analytics use-cases."

"One of the most valuable features is the integration of all types of data sources to extract relevant information regarding events. It is a good solution when it comes to the correlations that it makes within all the data handled in our company."

"The solution has proven to be stable so far...The solution is easy to scale up."

"Risk scoring was nice. We could exactly see which user had the highest risk score, and then we could pick it up and work on it."

"The most valuable feature is being able to look at users' behavioral profiles to see what they typically access. One of the key events that we monitor is people's downloading of objects... It's very easy to see people's patterns, what they typically do."

"The big data security analytics platform, structured and unstructured data analytics, and user and entity behavior analytics provided by the product are probably the best in the industry."

"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."

More Securonix Next-Gen SIEM pros

Cons

"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."

"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."

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

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

"Tenable Nessus is easier to deal with. It's more efficient and accurate. InsightIDR is heavier than Tenable in terms of performance and scanning. Rapid7 would be much easier to use if it had a network connector like Tenable. Tenable's connector allows continuous monitoring over the B caps."

"The searching feature in Rapid7 InsightIDR needs to evolve"

"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."

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

More Rapid7 InsightIDR cons

"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."

"It could be improved a little bit more for admin users. There should be more administrative options related to security for admin users. For example, for forensic purposes, the admin should be able to stop a specific user from erasing some information. I would be helpful in certain situations, such as during an internal fraud."

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

"The solution could provide more automation."

"There is slight room for improvement in terms of the initial deployment. What I see is that Securonix is more focused on their product. They are expanding, in a big way, the number of customers. So there has to be a number of dedicated teams to jump on and speed up the deployment process."

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

"One of the things they can improve on a little bit is the usability side, to make some things simpler... The tool does have a lot of knobs, you can turn a lot of things on and off and you can change things. Sometimes, it can become a little overwhelming. They should remove some confirmation options and make it simpler for the less mature customers and people who are still trying to grasp it."

"The technical support of the solution is an area with shortcomings and needs improvement."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"The pricing and licensing are competitive."

"Rapid7 InsightIDR's pricing is reasonable."

"The team is very willing to work with companies. My suggestion is to call the Rapid7 sales department and see how they can help."

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

"It is a reasonably priced solution."

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

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."

"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 fine compared to the market but I think that at some point the competitors will catch up on price."

"A good thing about Securonix is that they don't charge by volume of data or number of devices... They charge by the number of employees, which is a much more predictable number for me, versus data. Our costs are in the $100,000 range over a three-year subscription."

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

"We have a license from our 5.0, so that license just continued. We paid them the extra cloud-hosting costs for a year which were about $300,000."

"We went in on a three-year agreement which has an annual licensing fee, based upon the number of people that we're monitoring. There have not been any additional costs to the standard licensing fees."

"Compared to other brands it seems more affordable to us."
