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

"It is a very stable solution."

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

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

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

"Intelligent alerting to avoid the common problem of alert fatigue associated with traditional SIEMs."

"I have seen that Rapid7 InsightIDR provides security to the networks and endpoints in the company."

"The solution's initial setup is easy."

"I like the tool's user analysis feature."

More Rapid7 InsightIDR pros

"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."

"Initial setup is easy. It can be done by yourself."

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

"The product's initial setup phase was not difficult."

"There is no downtime or server vulnerability with this solution."

"The platform provides all essential features for discovery and administration."

"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."

More Trend Micro Deep Discovery pros

Cons

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

"The ability to tune the collector for custom logs would greatly help."

"I feel it would greatly benefit from more supported log sources."

"The main problem lies in the processes within the client's operating systems."

"The APIs can be further improved in Rapid7."

"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."

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

"The product allows us to make only 30 custom rules."

More Rapid7 InsightIDR cons

"The scalability is sometimes limited."

"The main issue is its high cost."

"Trend Micro Deep Discovery's technical support could be improved, and it could be made more active."

"All issues we faced related to false positives regarding many hashes and URLs specifically for mail gateway and sandboxing, which led us to open a threat ticket with Trend Micro support for validation."

"The solution could be more secure."

"The tool's configuration can be made easier."

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

"The solution needs improvement in terms of pricing."

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."

"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."

"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"

"It is more reasonably priced than other vendors."

"It is a reasonably priced solution."

"Rapid7 InsightIDR is priced very well and is cost-effective."

"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

"Overall, the price is good."

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

"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."

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

"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."

"Trend Micro Deep Discovery is quite expensive compared to other endpoint security products."

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