Featured Reviews

Prasanth Prasad - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers capabilities in areas like threat intelligence and vulnerability management but needs to improve support
The most valuable feature of the product for managing security events stems from the fact that the product's intelligence part is very good since it offers its own threat intelligence and vulnerability management platform. The tool also has its own cloud security posture management platform. The tool also is a dynamic application security testing platform. The aforementioned tools fall under Rapid7 InsightIDR's kitty. The intelligence and the data that Rapid7 gathers from customers across the globe enrich the quality of its detection capabilities. All other tools in the market depend on third-party solutions for intelligence. Rapid7 InsightIDr has the intelligence part natively available within the product, giving it a good edge over other vendors.

Good threat detection capabilities and offers flexibility for hosting options
As a security product, managing threats is crucial for my clients. According to feedback from my client base, Trend Micro has good threat detection capabilities and offers flexibility for hosting options. It also includes features like an advanced scan engine – those are definitely strong benefits. Additionally, its virtual analysis feature is quite useful.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Intelligent alerting to avoid the common problem of alert fatigue associated with traditional SIEMs."
"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 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."
"The solution is easy to use, and the interface is intuitive."
"Very intuitive and easy to set up."
"I am able to run automated actions based on the output of reports, leaving me extra time to focus on more pressing matters."
"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."
"The solution is very scalable in terms of the licensing model."
"There is no downtime or server vulnerability with this solution."
"The solution has extension-based features that help it to analyze the environment. The environment can have different platforms like Windows, Linux, and Mac. The tool will give a report which can confirm the analysis of the issues. You can also get clear information on threats or suspicious files."
"As a security product, managing threats is crucial for my clients."
"The product is very easy to install."
"The reporting is very good, providing detailed analysis in a short amount of time."
"The tool's most valuable feature is its collaboration with other products. Integrating with other security products was simple and easy."
"The most valuable features are the protection and that it is fast."
"It is a very good solution. It is very light, and it is quite quick to figure out the problem in your network."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"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."
"Needs a better ability to customize the check within the console."
"The main problem lies in the processes within the client's operating systems."
"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."
"The solution's XDR agents cannot compete with the XDR solutions out there yet."
"I would like to see more development in InsightIDR towards building their SIEM solution and converting it to XDR."
"The stability of the solution could be improved. It should be 100% stable, but it's not there right now."
"Trend Micro can improve the pricing in general. There is nothing else they can add or improve in the solution."
"The product's scalability feature needs to be improved, as it is an area in the product with certain shortcomings."
"The solution could be more secure."
"This solution could be improved with faster technical support and cheaper licensing prices."
"The scalability is sometimes limited."
"The main issue is its high cost."
"I would like to see integration with third-party tools to improve the visibility of the dashboards."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Rapid7 InsightIDR's pricing is reasonable."
"Rapid7 InsightIDR is priced very well and is cost-effective."
"​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 and licensing are competitive."
"The solution has a mid-range price point in the market"
"​Accurately predict your licensing counts as this is a subscription based product.​"
"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 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."
"The tool's licensing costs are yearly. There are no additional costs associated with the product."
"Overall, Trend Micro Deep Discovery has proven to be a reliable solution that enhances our security posture while minimizing operational disruptions."
"The tool’s licensing costs depend on the customers."
"The licensing cost is a bit pricey. We pay a yearly subscription."
"The pricing is okay for some, and sometimes, some people find it expensive."
"The price of the solution is lower compared to the competition."
"Trend Micro Deep Discovery is quite expensive compared to other endpoint security products."
"Compared to its competitors, Trend Micro Deep Discovery is a little expensive."
