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.

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

"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 technical support is a solid 10 out of 10 as they take the time to answer any questions or problems which may arise in a reasonable time frame."

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

"It improves because several sensors are deployed within the on-premise environment. It can be very efficient if the customer implements and operates it effectively."

"The incident case management is the most valuable feature. Even though there's always something I find I would like to add to that feature, the ability to quickly sort through all the logs, network and endpoint data, etc., and add it to an incident case as part of the investigation, is nice. Having it automatically timeline that additional data into the original incident timeline, and correlate it to other notable events and activities on the network, results in a huge improvement in our overall confidence that we've quickly traced down the right source of an issue."

"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten. As a cloud tool, the product is highly scalable."

More Rapid7 InsightIDR pros

"Deep Discovery is scalable and compatible with other products. It's crucial to have that compatibility because it's an integral part of our security solution. It integrates smoothly. The interface is user-friendly, so administration is simple."

"Trend Micro Deep Discovery is a very specific product for threat intelligence with smart protection."

"As a security product, managing threats is crucial for my clients."

"The most valuable feature is that the user can customize images of virtual machines in the sandbox functionality. The other vendors only use images that were created by the vendor but not the customer, end-user or partner. This helps to detect advanced threats and attacks."

"Sandboxing gives us a chance to identify malicious behavior, especially for unknown vulnerabilities, although it's rarely needed as a last resort after all other security measures have failed."

"One of the most valuable features is the performance, since, so far, we have not faced any issues with Deep Discovery."

"The HTML file sandboxing is very good."

"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."

More Trend Micro Deep Discovery pros

Cons

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

"InsightIDR's integration with other solutions could be improved. Also, I'd like more control from the portal over what's happening on the endpoint side. For example, when I see an attack on an endpoint, I want to be able to stop it from the portal."

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

"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."

"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."

"There is a future in AI with Rapid7, however, it is not fully operated. There are certain limitations with Rapid7 that I am working on."

"The solution's XDR agents cannot compete with the XDR solutions out there yet."

"The integration capabilities of the solution have certain shortcomings where improvements are required."

More Rapid7 InsightIDR cons

"The solution needs improvement in terms of pricing."

"I would like to see them create a rule where It could integrate with the network and start mitigating with auto-detection."

"The solution should support multiple platforms in Windows, Linux, and Mac. Customers can have different software types. The virtual environment should be able to install and analyze them. The tool also gives only a minimum level of extension support. It may not be able to extract files and give details about them. I would also like to see third-party product integration in the tool. The solution's current integration is only with Trend Micro products only."

"The product's security features need enhancement."

"This solution could be improved with faster technical support and cheaper licensing prices."

"The solution needs to be able to integrate better with third-party infrastructure."

"The stability of the solution could be improved. It should be 100% stable, but it's not there right now."

"Additionally, better scanning capabilities for third-party applications would ensure comprehensive security without the need for exclusions."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"The pricing and licensing are competitive."

"Rapid7 InsightIDR's pricing is reasonable."

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

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

"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

"The licensing cost is a bit pricey. We pay a yearly subscription."

"Overall, Trend Micro Deep Discovery has proven to be a reliable solution that enhances our security posture while minimizing operational disruptions."

"Its price is fine, but Trend Micro can improve the pricing in general. It is a hardware solution. It is based on the number of nodes, and according to the number of nodes, clients decide which box they should acquire. They have to renew their license every year. It is subscription-based."

"Compared to its competitors, Trend Micro Deep Discovery is a little expensive."

"The tool’s licensing costs depend on the customers."

"The pricing is okay for some, and sometimes, some people find it expensive."

"Overall, the price is good."

"The price of the solution is lower compared to the competition."
