We performed a comparison between Rapid7 InsightIDR and USM Anywhere based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"I like FortiClient EMS. FortiEDR has a lot of great features like lockdown mode, remote wipes, and encryption. I can set malware outbreak policies and controls for detecting abnormalities. You can also simulate phishing attacks."
"It is very easy to set up. I would rate my experience with the initial setup a ten out of ten, with ten being very easy to set up."
"This is stable and scalable."
"Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance."
"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of Fortinet FortiEDR was straightforward."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"Additionally, when it comes to EDR, there are more tools available to assist with client work."
"It is a very stable solution."
"Enables the use of honey pots, honey users, and honey files to monitor for suspicious patterns."
"The solution is very scalable in terms of the licensing model."
"I like the tool's user analysis feature."
"The alerting to drive investigations and remediation has been its most valuable feature."
"We were able to identify criminals attempting to login from China and put a stop on their IP locations."
"Rapid7's reporting is more robust than Tenable's."
"InsightIDR helps us investigate an environment to discover information about incidents."
"It is my "security person" looking at irregularities and letting me know when something has occurred."
"Its powerful correlation engine helps reduce time in manually correlating events."
"The asset management of nodes has been a large help in terms of being able to track applications with more detail and have changes made being monitored into one source."
"The setup is very easy and straightforward."
"This is a USM, so being able to get all the features under one roof makes it a good product with good new features."
"There are multiple tools for information security. The solution includes all the latest advances on the network and host intrusion detection systems."
"AlienVault has an advanced component within one package. With this, we can cover more area with one solution."
"This solution can completely detect and prevent incidents on your network."
"The solution's installation from a central installation server could be improved because the engineers had a little bit of trouble getting it installed from a central location."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"They can include the automation for the realtime updates. We have a network infrastructure with remote sites. Whenever they send updates, they are not automated. We have to go into the console and push those updates. I wish it was more automated. The update file is currently around 31 MB. It could be smaller."
"The support needs improvement."
"Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"FortiEDR could add a separate scanning dashboard. In incident management, we prefer to remove the endpoint system from the environment and scan the system. We typically use Symantec for that, but if we want to use FortiEDR for that, then we need a scanning tab to clarify things."
"The interface for doing investigation needs to be enhanced with minor improvements that would make it more useful."
"It takes time for the product's support team to resolve issues, making it an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The integration capabilities of the solution have certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"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."
"Lacks a mobile application."
"Cloud risk assessment is one area where I think they need a lot of improvement."
"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."
"Rapid7 InsightIDR is not intuitive to search for logs. It should be more user-friendly and improve the dashboards. We should be able to use ready-made templates instead of having to build one."
"The reporting module could be a little easier to handle, as it requires quite some trial and error until you get the reports you want. Also, it would be great to have a graphical interface for the Network Intrusion Detection System's rule management."
"For creating new rules, you have to be familiar with regular expressions. I feel there could be something built-in to make sure that process is easier."
"Their threat intelligence platform needs to be broadened. They should integrate it with more threat intelligence platforms. For the threat feed that they get from open intelligence, I would like them to add a few premium threat intelligence platforms. They can provide a bundle in which AlienVault has the threat intelligence background of other premium products."
"The AT&T AlienVault USM is okay, but the relational database is not very good for large amounts of data. For example, many logs cannot be processed. It has been very slow for the queries and some data which are large, it is not very good in this case."
"Different functions to customize reports should be added."
"The solution is a bit complicated. It could be simplified quite a bit."
"We develop additional rules and scripts to make it more usable."
"As this software is in the cloud, you do not have control on updates and general changes which are happening."
