A cloud solution to collect and analyse logs with timely support
We should understand the basic concepts of Rapid7 InsightOps. We are using Rapid7 InsightOps to collect and analyze data. We need to ensure that our environment is suitable before proceeding. The solution is user-friendly and support all environment like Linux, Windows, CentOS, etc. It is suitable for all. Overall, I rate the solution a nine 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

"We can save logs as plain text."
"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."
"The ability to browse logs from multiple sources at the same time really speeds up root cause analysis."
"The solution is stable."
"This solution can completely detect and prevent incidents on your network."
"We are able to get alerts perfectly with FIM and VA features."
"The IDS and the threat intelligence are very useful. They are very intuitive and data-rich."
"Its powerful correlation engine helps reduce time in manually correlating events."
"What I find the most valuable about USM Anywhere is its compliance. It shows a list of all the administrators logged on and does it quite well. There are no whistles and bells, it's reliable and simple to use."
"It has powerful threat detection, incident response, and compliance management."
"It is my "security person" looking at irregularities and letting me know when something has occurred."
 

Cons

"The solution takes a little bit of time when we load the website for the first time."
"Improvement is needed in the dashboard of InsightOps, especially for less technical users."
"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."
"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 only room for improvement I can mention is the initial installation procedures. I found that the online installation instructions for the product were missing important details, they lacked necessary steps."
"I think plugin management should be self-service on AlienVault USM. The other product is self-service but on the USM side. You have to submit a ticket then AT&T creates and updates the plugins."
"AlienVault needs to continue to integrate with other third-party technologies that clients want to have monitored."
"Source material on the forums to be more up-to-date with the changes happening within the product. Forums being out-of-date with information due to the changes makes troubleshooting a little more difficult - specific to the HIDS agents."
"It should be able to communicate with other security solutions to stop threats."
"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."
"We develop additional rules and scripts to make it more usable."
"Pay attention to false-positive event automatic correlations."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is cheap."
"They charge a license based on the storage. ATT AlienVault USM is a less expensive solution than IBM QRadar."
"We ran a few PoCs. The price and feature set were the best with AlienVault."
"Its price is much lower than McAfee ESM."
"They are a little more expensive than Microsoft."
"So far, I feel the product's pricing is a good value. The technology is decent. You get what you pay for. I think it's fair."
"Its price is in the medium to upper range."
"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."
"I don't think the product's pricing is a good value because they try to raise the price 50 percent every year... AlienVault needs to understand that not all customers are huge enterprises... Their sales team is way too aggressive. The price they advertise is not always the price you get."
