Find out what your peers are saying about Darktrace, Vectra AI, Auvik and others in Network Traffic Analysis (NTA)."ExtraHop Reveal(x) is one of the tools that works out of the box when it comes to threat hunting."
"Reveal X integrates seamlessly with CrowdStrike. If you see something sketchy on the network, you can quarantine devices through ExtraHop and it'll push to the CrowdStrike server."
"With ExtraHop Reveal(x), it gives me more visibility into the packets. It doesn't provide the entire packet capture, but it offers more information on how connections are made at the network layer. This can be helpful for detecting network attacks. Additionally, I really like the customizable dashboards and reports. The incident dashboard and alerts provide a good summary initially, and diving deeper into them gives more detailed information. It's also great for analyzing specific attacks and victim logs. The feature that tracks the full attack chain makes it easier to monitor the progress of attacks. Plus, it's connected to the Netria.com app, which I find useful for certain tasks."
"The most valuable features of ExtraHop Reveal(x) are the detection and alerting of network behavior and anomalies."
"When there are performance issues with an HTTP app, ExtraHop enables us to identify the causes within a few minutes. We can see what transactions are being impacted by something that may be happening within the server environment."
"The solution's ability to decrypt SSL traffic is its most valuable feature."
"The solution's initial setup process is easy."
"The solution works well for sending sensors."
"Rapid7's reporting is more robust than Tenable's."
"I rate Rapid7 nine out of 10 for affordability"
"The solution is very scalable in terms of the licensing model."
"The ability to ingest Office 365 log files, then process them into events and display them on a map."
"Features for user behavior analytics and the rules for attack review are good."
"InsightIDR helps us investigate an environment to discover information about incidents."
"Enables the use of honey pots, honey users, and honey files to monitor for suspicious patterns."
"Rapid7 is easy to use and deploy. It is a simple solution and has easy data pulling."
"I would like to see more cloud capability."
"It needs integration with more security vendors."
"The solution should include more support protocols."
"The solution's reporting part and GUI are areas with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"There is a little training online, but it'd be cool if ExtraHop provided certifications. CrowdStrike does elective training that gives you a certification as a Falcon administrator. It'd be nice to see ExtraHop have something like that"
"The solution is expensive and gets more expensive if a company needs to scale it."
"Agent management could certainly use some focus. It should also be a little bit easier to work with collections. We should be able to nest collections within collections. There should be better nesting."
"They used to have the ability to decode Citrix sign-on, setup, and tear down. Unfortunately, Citrix has stopped sharing that knowledge. Citrix has continued to change its model of processing, making it harder and harder to troubleshoot."
"Customised alert recipients need to be added to allow better first-line action and quicker response. Configurable honeypots would be a welcome addition."
"Cloud risk assessment is one area where I think they need a lot of improvement."
"The searching feature in Rapid7 InsightIDR needs to evolve"
"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."
"It takes time for the product's support team to resolve issues, making it an area of concern where improvements are required."
"I would like to see more development in InsightIDR towards building their SIEM solution and converting it to XDR."
"Rapid7 doesn't integrate well with all our security tools from various vendors, so we plan to switch. Many of our solutions work with Rapid7, but some do not. We are already searching for a replacement already."
"I feel it would greatly benefit from more supported log sources."
