Featured Reviews

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.
Vladimir Alexandrov - PeerSpot reviewer
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clients can identify forgotten or unmanaged network segments, thereby mitigating unexpected network actions such as outdated antivirus software operations.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

"The solution's initial setup is easy."
"The UI is very good."
"I like the tool's user analysis feature."
"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 log aggregation and storage provided by InsightIDR has shown no issues with scalability; aggregating over one hundred millions events daily."
"It is a very stable solution."
"I definitely recommend Rapid7 InsightIDR."
"If you were on other solutions, you would notice that they use agents from third-party, from open-source, from a native OS, or from other tools. Here, however, it is an agent from Rapid7 itself. This adds to the solution's overall capabilities."
"The product is very easy to install."
"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."
"The reporting is very good, providing detailed analysis in a short amount of time."
"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."
"The most valuable features are monitoring for advanced persistent threats, the system runs in a sandbox allowing for effective zero-day exploits management, and the Inspector has a built-in sandbox."
"Trend Micro Deep Discovery is a very specific product for threat intelligence with smart protection."
"The platform provides all essential features for discovery and administration."
"The most valuable features are the protection and that it is fast."
 

Cons

"Lacks a mobile application."
"The integration capabilities of the solution have certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"The ability to tune the collector for custom logs would greatly help."
"Needs a better ability to customize the check within the console."
"Currently, it lacks the functionalities provided by Rapid7's User Behavior Analytics (UBA)."
"It would be useful to import threat intelligence in YARA format along with known incorrect email addresses.​"
"It takes time for the product's support team to resolve issues, making it an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Customised alert recipients need to be added to allow better first-line action and quicker response. Configurable honeypots would be a welcome addition."
"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 scalability is sometimes limited."
"The solution needs improvement in terms of pricing."
"The solution could be more stable and offer more security."
"The solution could be more secure."
"Trend Micro Deep Discovery's technical support could be improved, and it could be made more active."
"Scalability becomes an issue when managing a higher number of customers."
"The tool's configuration can be made easier."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Rapid7 InsightIDR is priced very well and is cost-effective."
"It is a reasonably priced solution."
"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."
"​Accurately predict your licensing counts as this is a subscription based product.​"
"The pricing is good, and it is not very expensive."
"The pricing of the solution depends on the user. But there is a yearly licensing cost."
"It is on a yearly basis. For our own company, for about 250 users, it was 16,000 euros a year."
"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."
"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."
"The licensing cost is a bit pricey. We pay a yearly subscription."
"The tool's licensing costs are yearly. There are no additional costs associated with the product."
"Overall, the price is good."
"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."
"The price of the solution is lower compared to the competition."
