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

"AlienVault has the necessary all-in-one product with the function of vulnerability scanner integrated with detections, so when you detect an incident in a vulnerable port you can act faster and prevent more incidents."
"It's a single solution that is meeting the needs of multiple of my PCI compliance objectives."
"The asset management functionality (active and passive scans) is also really important. You can't protect what you do not know about, so having an inventory of all your devices and software is critical to a security management program."
"The low cost of entry SIEM functionality has increased due to network views and network traffic."
"AlienVault provides excellent visibility into your network by combining centralized logging, host-based IDS and network IDS."
"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."
"AlienVault is my security person looking at irregularities and letting me know when something has occurred."
"AlienVault's "Overview" dashboard makes it very easy to see everything going on in your network that needs your immediate attention."
"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 most valuable feature of Rapid7 InsightOps is the search functionality."
"My advice to others is this is an easy-to-use solution and they should try it out."
"Integration of InsightOps with other tools, especially SIEM solutions, has generally improved operational efficiency."
"We can save logs as plain text."
"We get way more out of it than we did with SecureWorks and we pay about a third of the price."
"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."
 

Cons

"It needs to be easier to deploy switch monitoring."
"The configuration is somewhat complex and the interface a bit non-intuitive."
"Plugins could be better utilized, as some of them do not recognize all logs."
"There were stability issues due to lack of memory."
"I knocked off a point for the learning curve compared to some of the competition and another point for the lack of native user behavior analytics but for the money you really can't do any better."
"The next release will include cloud security and it will support a hybrid IT environment, furthermore the OTX has a great added value but it will help when there is more OTX information in the database."
"It can still be difficult to feed products that are not supported out-of-the-box."
"I don't think the product's pricing is a good value because they try to raise the price 50 percent every year."
"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."
"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 searching capability, or when you ask real time questions, is pretty decent but it's still not up to par with, say, Splunk."
"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."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing is very competitive with other products and you get much more functionality from AlienVault."
"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 point is good.​"
"It's saved security costs."
"It is a product that is priced in a medium range, making it neither a cheap nor a costly product."
"It allows you to do a lot with a small price tag... The pricing is the best on the market."
"QRadar, ArcSight and Splunk are some of the most expensive SIEM products out there in the market and not everyone has the budget to buy them. In such cases, AV USM is a very cost effective alternative."
"Its price is in the medium to upper range."
"The product is cheap."
