Helps in the management of compliance, secret events and information
One of our customers had a Huawei firewall and we required help to do the configuration. However, the installation was easy with other standard vendors like Cisco and Check Point. The product's deployment got completed in four to five days and we required three people to handle it. One person was in charge of the portal's initial set up and the other one handled the integration of on-premises devices. The third one took care of Office 365 integration.

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

"Integration with threat modeling from the Metasploit and InsightIDR repositories."
"It is a very stable solution."
"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."
"InsightIDR helps us investigate an environment to discover information about incidents."
"InsightIDR has allowed us to find potential security issues that we did not know existed, and get remediation quickly."
"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."
"Rapid7 is easy to use and deploy. It is a simple solution and has easy data pulling."
"We were able to identify criminals attempting to login from China and put a stop on their IP locations."
"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."
"One of the most valuable features is the performance, since, so far, we have not faced any issues with Deep Discovery."
"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."
"The HTML file sandboxing is very good."
"Trend Micro Deep Discovery is a very specific product for threat intelligence with smart protection."
"The most valuable feature of Trend Micro Deep Discovery is its complete end-to-end visibility of threats."
"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."
"I like the sales operations testing. and support."
 

Cons

"Cloud risk assessment is one area where I think they need a lot of improvement."
"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."
"Customised alert recipients need to be added to allow better first-line action and quicker response. Configurable honeypots would be a welcome addition."
"They should add more configuration and security features to it."
"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 ability to tune the collector for custom logs would greatly help."
"Sometimes, it is hard to get the right queries to use. Currently, the tool lacks a pre-made set of queries."
"Lacks a mobile application."
"I would like to see them create a rule where It could integrate with the network and start mitigating with auto-detection."
"Scalability becomes an issue when managing a higher number of customers."
"The product's security features need enhancement."
"The main issue is its high cost."
"The solution could be more stable and offer more security."
"The stability of the solution could be improved. It should be 100% stable, but it's not there right now."
"The price range is a little high."
"The scalability is sometimes limited."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Rapid7 InsightIDR is priced very well and is cost-effective."
"Rapid7 InsightIDR's pricing is reasonable."
"The team is very willing to work with companies. My suggestion is to call the Rapid7 sales department and see how they can help.​"
"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."
"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."
"It is a reasonably priced solution."
"It is on a yearly basis. For our own company, for about 250 users, it was 16,000 euros a year."
"It is more reasonably priced than other vendors."
"Compared to its competitors, Trend Micro Deep Discovery is a little expensive."
"Overall, the price is good."
"Trend Micro Deep Discovery is quite expensive compared to other endpoint security products."
"The price of the solution is lower compared to the competition."
"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 are yearly. There are no additional costs associated with the product."
"The tool’s licensing costs depend on the customers."
