Pros
"The UI is very good.""I rate Rapid7 nine out of 10 for affordability""I like that it's a cloud-based solution.""InsightIDR’s ability to process millions of transactions per day, and to notify me of the most critical ones, is priceless. InsightIDR has the alerts tuned, and has the ability to quickly drill down to determine the threat level.""The solution provides satisfying native integration features""InsightIDR helps us investigate an environment to discover information about incidents.""Intelligent alerting to avoid the common problem of alert fatigue associated with traditional SIEMs.""Enables the use of honey pots, honey users, and honey files to monitor for suspicious patterns."

"I rate the tool's deployment an eight out of ten. The deployment is completed in two days.""Trellix ESM is very user-friendly.""It is easy to use and deploy. It comes with user-friendly manuals.""The most valuable feature for us is that it comes with many correlations, reports, and dashboards already available. It's also very easy to use.""The solution is 100% stable. We really have had a great time working with it. It hasn't let us down.""It has good technical support, which is available around the clock. You can call up anytime and get whatever you want. My queues are resolved.""The most valuable feature is the capability to correlate different events from different platforms that we feed into it.""The most valuable feature is for the security operation center because it provides visibility of all traffic within the company infrastructure."

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.""The main problem lies in the processes within the client's operating systems.""It takes time for the product's support team to resolve issues, making it an area of concern where improvements are required.""The dashboard is an area that could be simplified.""It would be useful to import threat intelligence in YARA format along with known incorrect email addresses.​""They should add more configuration and security features to it.""The ability to tune the collector for custom logs would greatly help.""Lacks a mobile application."

More Rapid7 InsightIDR Cons →

"There should be support for multitenancy in the product.""The disk space needed for events is not clear. In all clients, we had at least more than 100GB free that we could not use.""The solution needs to improve case management. The UI is confusing.""The support from McAfee ESM could improve. They could improve the speed.""Update to user interface from version 9 is cosmetic in some aspects, and after a few clicks you are back on the old interface.""Tech support is required each time there is a system update of the solution.""The only issue I have with McAfee is the amount of computer resources that it takes... it's definitely impacting some of the other applications that are running on a computer at the same time.""It cannot integrate with our Next-Generation Firewall and few applications such as Cisco ACI."

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 team is very willing to work with companies. My suggestion is to call the Rapid7 sales department and see how they can help.​"
  • "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.​"
  • "The pricing and licensing are competitive."
  • "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."
  • "It is a reasonably priced solution."
  • "It is on a yearly basis. For our own company, for about 250 users, it was 16,000 euros a year."
  • More Rapid7 InsightIDR Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "You should buy the distributed option instead of the all-in-one for environments with more than 1000 end points."
  • "We pay for our licensing fees on a yearly basis, and there are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
  • "The cost is dependent on the customer's environment and requirements."
  • "The pricing is good, and they are competitive compared to providers such as RSA and IBM QRadar."
  • "The cost is all included. The finance department handles the financial part, and we mostly don't get involved in it."
  • "We renew our license annually."
  • "McAfee is the right choice for a low-budget solution."
  • "The price is good. It's moderate. We follow a pay-as-you-go model. There are different models available, and they can also be monthly. You can choose monthly or yearly. It's very flexible. If our existing customers exceed the current plan, you can just call McAfee and get it extended."
