Asim Naeem - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Enhanced threat detection through superior sandboxing capabilities with competitive pricing
With Trend Micro Deep Discovery, our enterprise clients can identify forgotten or unmanaged network segments, thereby mitigating unexpected network actions such as outdated antivirus software operations. When under attack, such as with ransomware, it allows us to identify the attack vector and disable it. It also assists in security audits required to prove certain network security measures.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"InsightIDR helps us investigate an environment to discover information about incidents."
"The alerting to drive investigations and remediation has been its most valuable feature.​"
"The solution's initial setup is easy."
"The UI is very good."
"Rapid7 InsightIDR integrates well with other solutions. It's also easy to configure because Rapid7 InsightIDR has a lot of instructions posted on their website that customers can follow if they need to get the source log."
"​​User behavioral analytics allows us to pinpoint abnormal or suspicious behavior among millions of events every day."
"Rapid7's reporting is more robust than Tenable's."
"It is a very stable solution."
"It is a very good solution. It is very light, and it is quite quick to figure out the problem in your network."
"One of the most valuable features is the performance, since, so far, we have not faced any issues with Deep Discovery."
"Generally speaking, it just gives us a broad understanding of exactly what kind of threats occur. The submission point, analyzing point, and virtualization are within the environment that it supports. It helped us to improve our security levels and protect our internal network from any threats outside."
"The HTML file sandboxing is very good."
"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."
"As a security product, managing threats is crucial for my clients."
"The tool's most valuable feature is its collaboration with other products. Integrating with other security products was simple and easy."
"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."
 

Cons

"The APIs can be further improved in Rapid7."
"Currently, it lacks the functionalities provided by Rapid7's User Behavior Analytics (UBA)."
"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."
"There are certain limitations with Rapid7 that I am working on."
"Sometimes, it is hard to get the right queries to use. Currently, the tool lacks a pre-made set of queries."
"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."
"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."
"I feel it would greatly benefit from more supported log sources."
"Additionally, better scanning capabilities for third-party applications would ensure comprehensive security without the need for exclusions."
"Deep Discovery is easy to manage, but there is still room for improvement on the administration and operations side. Competing products have a cleaner interface that makes it easier to manage their products. Trend Micro offers a lot of features in one product suite, but it can be unwieldy for the customer to manage all that with a single interface."
"I would like the ability to analyze all files in our internal network, at the same time on different operating systems. Not just three of them, but as many as possible."
"This solution could be improved with faster technical support and cheaper licensing prices."
"The price range is a little high."
"The scalability is sometimes limited."
"The solution could be more secure."
"The stability of the solution could be improved. It should be 100% stable, but it's not there right now."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Rapid7 InsightIDR's pricing is reasonable."
"​Accurately predict your licensing counts as this is a subscription based product.​"
"The team is very willing to work with companies. My suggestion is to call the Rapid7 sales department and see how they can help.​"
"The pricing and licensing are competitive."
"The pricing is good, and it is not very expensive."
"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."
"​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 tool’s licensing costs depend on the customers."
"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 are yearly. There are no additional costs associated with the product."
"Trend Micro Deep Discovery is quite expensive compared to other endpoint security products."
"The pricing is okay for some, and sometimes, some people find it expensive."
"Overall, the price is good."
"The licensing cost is a bit pricey. We pay a yearly subscription."
