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.

I have an advanced license that includes all features. Though we have the license, we cannot use it completely because it is not enabled in the Microsoft tier. It does not make sense. We do not want to buy it separately because the price is different if we buy separate licenses.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The ability to ingest Office 365 log files, then process them into events and display them on a map."

"Another very important part of insightIDR is the ability to collect data from endpoint devices via agent software. With a large remote workforce, this allows visibility into the endpoints that are connected to the internet, but not to the corporate network."

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

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

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

"Simple configuration and automatically syncs to the cloud platform."

"I definitely recommend Rapid7 InsightIDR."

"I like that it's a cloud-based solution."

More Rapid7 InsightIDR pros

"The most valuable features of SonicWall Capture Client are CSC (Capture Security Center), RTDMI (Real-Time Deep Memory Inspection), and the deep memory inspection feature."

"SonicWall Capture Client has a serial number to connect to your firewall."

"Overall, what I love the most about SonicWall Capture Client is its management console. SonicWall Capture Client also has the intelligence to tell you which computer is online, what OS it uses, etc. I also found the rollback feature and SentinelOne integration valuable in SonicWall Capture Client. Rollback is a powerful feature of the solution because it's similar to locking your endpoint during an attack, so you won't have to pay the hackers, particularly during ransomware attacks. That feature in SonicWall Capture Client allows you to get back your endpoint or make your endpoint right again after an attack. I also like that it isn't complex to remove the engine error from the endpoint because you only have to provide the security key from SonicWall Capture Client, so the process is simple. It's not complex."

"SonicWall Capture Client's scalability is nice."

"SonicWall Capture Client offers a cost-effective solution that's cheaper compared to other vendors like CrowdStrike."

"The threat protection feature of SonicWall Capture Client is most valuable."

"The solution serves as a very stable platform."

"The initial setup is straightforward."

More SonicWall Capture Client pros

Cons

"Lacks a mobile application."

"The interface for doing investigation needs to be enhanced with minor improvements that would make it more useful."

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

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

"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."

"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."

"The searching feature in Rapid7 InsightIDR needs to evolve"

"Customised alert recipients need to be added to allow better first-line action and quicker response. Configurable honeypots would be a welcome addition."

More Rapid7 InsightIDR cons

"SonicWall Capture Client should use less of our PC's memory, as it tends to slow down the performance."

"SonicWall Capture Client could be made a little lighter than it currently is in terms of memory consumption."

"An area for improvement in SonicWall Capture Client is TenantCloud support. Suppose you want to implement SonicWall Capture Client. You'll have to register it on MySonicWall. Then once your SonicWall Capture Client license expires and you don't want to renew it, you can't delete it from your MySonicWall account, so that's an area for improvement."

"They should improve their user interface."

"It takes technical support too long to resolve an issue."

"Technical support from SonicWall has room for improvement. While their escalation process is understandable, it can be time-consuming as all logs need to be provided multiple times across different service levels."

"The biggest issue with SonicWall Capture Client is network latency."

"The implementation is not easy."

More SonicWall Capture Client cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"Accurately predict your licensing counts as this is a subscription based product."

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

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

"It is more reasonably priced than other vendors."

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

"The pricing and licensing are competitive."

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

More Rapid7 InsightIDR pricing and cost advice

"You have to pay for the solution, and a lot of customers do not want to pay."

"Here in Indonesia, SonicWall Capture Client costs five hundred thousand rupiahs for every endpoint. If I'm correct, you only have to pay the licensing fee, and there's no additional fee. To me, the pricing for SonicWall Capture Client is four out of five."

"The product is very expensive."
