Customization and automation streamline workflows for seamless operations
The features of Rapid7 InsightOps that I have found most valuable are the predefined policies and the use of correlation rules, which are very valuable because they eliminate the need to spend time creating those rules. This feature detects insider threats or compromised credentials by using user behavior analytics, which can collect other compromise indicators. It makes it easier to install and implement this solution because you can run it as normal behavior of users and then switch off to look for the anomalous behavior of any entities, such as laptops and others. In any violation or restricted behavior, the system will notify you that something unusual is occurring. The machine learning algorithms in Rapid7 InsightIDR for threat detection work quite effectively as part of the user entity behavior analytic model, allowing us to focus group normal typical behavior of users and then turn on the rule to spot any unexpected behavior. The automation features of Rapid7 InsightOps are quite satisfactory, as users appreciate these features, especially when integrating with the ticketing system. If something goes wrong, InsightOps will notify the ticketing system to create a ticket and assign it to the responsible person to handle the events found in the infrastructure. The customizable dashboards in Rapid7 InsightOps are quite valuable and interesting because SOC center operators spend most of their time investigating on those dashboards, making them easy to manage. Additionally, we can configure email reports for high-level talks, sending historical data without needing to look online, which is very convenient.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"In comparison to the competition, it's a very inexpensive option, whether you use the cloud or the on-premises deployment models, and you also get great value for money as you do get a lot of very good tools that come standard with the solution as well."
"The low cost of entry SIEM functionality has increased due to network views and network traffic."
"Its powerful correlation engine helps reduce time in manually correlating events."
"AlienVault USM Anywhere is easy to deploy with their cloud-based model, and deploying the required agents on-prem (or in the cloud) is quick and easy."
"IDS is a nice capability to have."
"The ease of implementation is the most valuable feature."
"AlientVault has helped us in improving our visualization and incident response during cybersecurity situations."
"It allows for a lot of out-of-the-box features: vuln scanning, HIDS/HIPS, and IDS."
"The ability to browse logs from multiple sources at the same time really speeds up root cause analysis."
"The log aggregation and research capabilities are definitely what pays for itself."
"Once you start using InsightIDR, which works hand in glove with InsightOps, you will feel like you were operating in the stone age before."
"The machine learning algorithms in Rapid7 InsightIDR for threat detection work quite effectively as part of the user entity behavior analytic model, allowing us to focus group normal typical behavior of users and then turn on the rule to spot any unexpected behavior."
"Easy to use and spend less time on setups/troubleshooting."
"I use it as a security incident and event management system, and it has the ability to alert and track logs from different sources."
"The most valuable feature of Rapid7 InsightOps is the search functionality."
"Integration of InsightOps with other tools, especially SIEM solutions, has generally improved operational efficiency."
 

Cons

"There could be some type of integration with our existing portal."
"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."
"The search capabilities are not optimal and are going to be optimized in the next versions."
"In emergency cases, it is difficult to reach them."
"The vulnerability scanning feature is one of the areas where the product has certain shortcomings and needs to improve. The tool has vulnerability scanning, but it is not that efficient."
"It is a lot of work to get the software configured and set up properly."
"They should simplify the HIDS agent reporting/custom rule creation."
"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."
"There are a few things I would like to do with a few more complex queries which I am not able to do right now, because it is a SaaS solution."
"Since I used the beta, improvements are to be expected. The dashboard options could have been clearer, but I believe it is more a problem with the limited documentation available at the time."
"There were some difficulties in product setup, but after those issues were resolved, there were no issues."
"The searching capability, or when you ask real time questions, is pretty decent but it's still not up to par with, say, Splunk."
"Improvement is needed in the dashboard of InsightOps, especially for less technical users."
"Rapid7 InsightOps could improve by making the search query better. There are times when the search query is broken and it does not find anything."
"The solution takes a little bit of time when we load the website for the first time."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"AlienVault is certainly not nearly as expensive as Splunk or QRadar. It's decently priced, but I don't have the exact figure."
"AT&T AlienVault USM is an expensive solution and we pay for the license and the support separately. We paid for the license and support for three years."
"It has good pricing."
"They charge a license based on the storage. ATT AlienVault USM is a less expensive solution than IBM QRadar."
"It allows you to do a lot with a small price tag... The pricing is the best on the market."
"The ROI is quite good."
"We ran a few PoCs. The price and feature set were the best with AlienVault."
"Negotiate the best package for your environment."
"The product is cheap."
