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.

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 solution is easy to use, and the interface is intuitive."

"Dashboards, including the main screen, provide much-needed information at a glance, without hours of coding and sifting through logs to find it. In case of an actual security incident, I have faith that insightIDR has retained all logs in a secure manner that prevents log tampering as well."

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

"If you were on other solutions, you would notice that they use agents from third-party, from open-source, from a native OS, or from other tools. Here, however, it is an agent from Rapid7 itself. This adds to the solution's overall capabilities."

"InsightIDR has allowed us to find potential security issues that we did not know existed, and get remediation quickly."

"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."

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

"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."

More Rapid7 InsightIDR pros

"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 solution is stable and scalable."

"The UEBA functionality indicates a lot about behaviors that are not found through a traditional SIEM. We have exploited that more than anything since we started using it."

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

"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."

"SNYPR has a bundle of features. It has the UEBA feature that tells you about the behavior of a person or entity. In the tool itself, there is an incident management feature, which is definitely valuable."

"[The solution has] incident-management or case-management functionality. If someone were to download a high number and we decided we needed to investigate it, I could open a case right in the tool. It would be able to directly reference the data that they downloaded and we could open and shut the case directly in the tool, as well as report from it."

"The detection of threats and reduction of false positive alarms as compared to other solutions are valuable features. It has improved threat detection response and reduced a lot of noise from false positives as compared to our previous SIEM solutions."

More Securonix Next-Gen SIEM pros

Cons

"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."

"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."

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

"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."

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

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

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

"The dashboard is an area that could be simplified."

More Rapid7 InsightIDR cons

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

"Sometimes, there is instability in the data in terms of the customization of the time. I have sometimes observed discrepancies in the data, which is something they should work on. They should bring more stability to time customization. If we are seeing a particular data, when we change the time zone, there should be the same data. There should not be any discrepancy."

"The passing and setup are quite complex at the beginning, making onboarding not smooth, which is an area that needs improvement."

"We would like a little more face-to-face training. Securonix has several tutorials on its website, but we want there to be a person in Colombia who does training or workshops to give us a better understanding of the platform."

"Other than issues with the training, there have been issues with the encryption. There have also been issues with some of the reporting, minor glitches that they have fixed as they've gone along."

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

"Sometimes, the injectors lag and are not loading. It would be nice if that could be improved."

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

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

"It is on a yearly basis. For our own company, for about 250 users, it was 16,000 euros a year."

"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."

"It is more reasonably priced than other vendors."

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

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

"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."

More Rapid7 InsightIDR pricing and cost advice

"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."

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

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

"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."

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

"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."

"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."
