We performed a comparison between LogRhythm SIEM and Rapid7 InsightIDR 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."Compliance reporting is another great feature of this product. It has built in reports right out of the box."
"It's positively affected our overall rate of efficiency."
"I like LogRhythm's ease of use. The solution has improved compared to previous versions. It had many issues before, like integration, the console, creating reports, false positives, etc. The AI engine has made it stronger in the latest version."
"The security operation center is excellent."
"It has centralized monitoring for our security operations. Therefore, it improves our analysts' work."
"The user interface is pretty good compared to other SIEM tools."
"Overall effectiveness is very good. I like how it is oriented to both analysts and technical support people. It's easily adopted by end users as much as by technologists."
"NextGen SIEM's most valuable feature is its user-friendliness."
"The incident case management is the most valuable feature. Even though there's always something I find I would like to add to that feature, the ability to quickly sort through all the logs, network and endpoint data, etc., and add it to an incident case as part of the investigation, is nice. Having it automatically timeline that additional data into the original incident timeline, and correlate it to other notable events and activities on the network, results in a huge improvement in our overall confidence that we've quickly traced down the right source of an issue."
"The solution is very stable and works very well for what I need it to do."
"Very intuitive and easy to set up."
"Simple configuration and automatically syncs to the cloud platform."
"The UI is very good."
"InsightIDR has allowed us to find potential security issues that we did not know existed, and get remediation quickly."
"The web interface is great — very useful and user-friendly."
"We were able to identify criminals attempting to login from China and put a stop on their IP locations."
"We have gone through a few versions which has caused a lot of instability. We have logged a lot of hours with professional services."
"The security playbook could be pre-defined and available to other analysts with similar security issues."
"We've tried to work with a couple of engineering department guys there. We've called them and called them but we never hear anything back."
"My biggest issue - I know that they say they're doing it - is that the API-building is extremely important. They keep saying it's coming, it's coming. It's not coming fast enough. I don't care if they need to double their team size to get it out there quicker, the world is already in the cloud and we can't monitor it. That's a big problem for us. My boss keeps coming to me about it. That's an issue."
"When we originally got LogRhythm, their tech support was fantastic, and I loved them. Now, we don't quite get as quick of a response. I've been disappointed in the more recent tech support. When you call in, they'll say that they will get you somebody, and you'll finally get someone who will contact you back a day or so later. Whereas before, I would get help right away."
"I would like to suggest that they should improve their usage of third party tools for making dashboards and reports. If they would create their own tools for dashboard and report, it would be much better in terms of security purposes."
"There used to be the ability to create alarms based on message text that was included in LR Version 6.x that has been removed in LogRhythm 7.x, and on that, I would like to see it added back."
"More detail in the alerts given to avoid additional searches, as often the source or destination associated with the alert is not evidenced."
"Sometimes, it is hard to get the right queries to use. Currently, the tool lacks a pre-made set of queries."
"The reporting is the weakest aspect. There needs to be multi-level grouping for events (for example, group by user and destination). Right now, we can do a group by user and a separate table or group by destination. But I'd be more interested in where a person was logging into instead of who was logging in or where he was logging in."
"The integration capabilities of the solution have certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"The interface for doing investigation needs to be enhanced with minor improvements that would make it more useful."
"Tenable Nessus is easier to deal with. It's more efficient and accurate. InsightIDR is heavier than Tenable in terms of performance and scanning. Rapid7 would be much easier to use if it had a network connector like Tenable. Tenable's connector allows continuous monitoring over the B caps."
"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."
"The solution needs improvement in threat intelligence. Increasing the depth of intelligence to help users understand more about threats is a possibility. My suggestion is to expand access to other websites or resources."
"The product allows us to make only 30 custom rules."
