A solution that offers easy setup and deployment phases, along with great scalability and stability

I rate the initial setup a ten out of ten. The solution's initial setup was very straightforward. The solution is deployed on an on-premises and cloud model. The cloud services are provided by Rapid7. The solution can be deployed in half a day or four hours in a small environment. I was the only person involved in the product's deployment phase.

An easy-to-deploy tool that needs to improve its vulnerability scanning feature

To those who plan to use the solution, I would suggest that they go through the documentation and online training models available for free, as it can help you deploy the product quickly while also being helpful in areas where there is a need to understand correlation and monitoring. I rate the overall product a seven out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The log aggregation and storage provided by InsightIDR has shown no issues with scalability; aggregating over one hundred millions events daily."

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

"It is a very stable solution."

"It improved my organization by building a security alerting program."

"Another very important part of insightIDR is the ability to collect data from endpoint devices via agent software. With a large remote workforce, this allows visibility into the endpoints that are connected to the internet, but not to the corporate network."

"Great coverage of all systems within our network from endpoint to firewall."

"The solution is very scalable in terms of the licensing model."

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

More Rapid7 InsightIDR pros

"Using the communication within the security device, it is easier to create plugins."

"This solution can completely detect and prevent incidents on your network."

"Asset discovery and vulnerability scanner are good features. The integration between this solution and OTX, which is an AlienVault platform for Open Threat Exchange, is also a valuable feature. It is also quick and easy to deploy, so you can quickly engage with a customer's environment."

"The main menu: You can see everything there, what is happening on the servers, and in the logs, you can view more details of each event."

"Any unusual behaviour, we can monitor. We have alerts set up to be sent when we receive signs of any unusual behaviour."

"In terms of monitoring, my best feature would be the monitoring of components across the network. It monitors the respective nodes and any new node that comes onto the network and provides reports. The reporting dashboards are really helpful for management in terms of making decisions around patch management."

"It has powerful threat detection, incident response, and compliance management."

"Log-monitoring and alerting enable us to know when things happen that we need to know about."

More USM Anywhere pros

Cons

"The interface for doing investigation needs to be enhanced with minor improvements that would make it more useful."

"InsightIDR is only available in a cloud version. Some of our customers prefer an on-prem solution because they want to manage the security within their environment."

"One of the things that could be better is digital forensics. It is there, but it can be better. They could provide more on the endpoint detection level."

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

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

"The searching feature in Rapid7 InsightIDR needs to evolve"

"Lacks a mobile application."

"Sometimes, it is hard to get the right queries to use. Currently, the tool lacks a pre-made set of queries."

More Rapid7 InsightIDR cons

"There is room for improvement in Log parsing."

"We've had some stability problems, not a lot, but a few. Updates seem to be the worst. That seems to be when the stability problems come up."

"Support can be slow at times, but the quality is high. Posted knowledge base articles could use improvement."

"In the future, I would like to see all these features of the solution working properly."

"The UI and overall processes need a little bit more love. This shows in the error banners that come up when you select certain things. There isn't a day that goes by that the UI doesn't error out and I can't view events for an alarm."

"We develop additional rules and scripts to make it more usable."

"The reporting aspect could be improved. While there are a lot of different options available, there are still pieces which are missing."

"The lack of mature functionality and expertise in any of those areas is a strong negative."

More USM Anywhere cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Rapid7 InsightIDR is a cheaply priced product. On a scale of one to ten, where one is very expensive, and ten is very cheap, I rate the product's price at seven or eight."

"Accurately predict your licensing counts as this is a subscription based product."

"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."

"The pricing of the solution depends on the user. But there is a yearly licensing cost."

"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."

"I rate Rapid7 InsightIDR's price a four on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."

"The pricing and licensing are competitive."

"It is a reasonably priced solution."

More Rapid7 InsightIDR pricing and cost advice

"So far, it has been a good solution for a tight budget."

"The price point is good."

"Pricing is very competitive with other products and you get much more functionality from AlienVault."

"Negotiate the best package for your environment."

"The licensing fees are dependent on usage."

"Do the one month trial and try to work out the kinks during it, as it has free support and service hours."

"I don't know exactly, but I know it is based on the number of logs and the retention duration, such as 30 days or something like that. So, the smallest package is about 500 a month for 30 days of logs. There is a virtual machine. You need resources for it. It is a log collecting VM. They provide the software, and you just have to load a virtual machine. So, you're going to incur some CPU RAM and storage for wherever this log collecting appliance is running, which typically is in our cloud and on our platform for the customer."

"The price for this solution is very good, but since the features do not work the price is expensive."
