"Intelligent alerting to avoid the common problem of alert fatigue associated with traditional SIEMs."
"The technical support is a solid 10 out of 10 as they take the time to answer any questions or problems which may arise in a reasonable time frame."
"Features for user behavior analytics and the rules for attack review are good."
"I like that it's a cloud-based solution."
"Rapid7 InsightIDR integrates well with other solutions. It's also easy to configure because Rapid7 InsightIDR has a lot of instructions posted on their website that customers can follow if they need to get the source log."
"Very intuitive and easy to set up."
"Simple configuration and automatically syncs to the cloud platform."
"The most valuable features are its reporting capabilities and the host discovery functionality."
"I like Rapid7's scan optimization options."
"The reports in Rapid7 InsightVM are useful when compared to competitors."
"The cost is what is most valuable. Compared to the other products on the market, the cost is more palatable."
"The discovery and prioritization of vulnerabilities."
"There are many integrations with things like the VMware NSX that are great, the reporting is really solid."
"The most valuable feature is the site scanning, where we can provide a complete subnet and what it is we need to scan on those devices."
"The most important aspect of the solution is that it rarely gives false positives, especially compared to other products. It provides very clear reports for our IT teams to look at."
"I would like to see more development in InsightIDR towards building their SIEM solution and converting it to XDR."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Needs a better ability to customize the check within the console."
"Rapid7 InsightIDR is not intuitive to search for logs. It should be more user-friendly and improve the dashboards. We should be able to use ready-made templates instead of having to build one."
"The product allows us to make only 30 custom rules."
"The APIs can be further improved in Rapid7."
"Their customer support should be improved, and the effectiveness of scans also needs to be improved."
"The on-premise updates could improve from Rapid7 InsightVM."
"We are a registered reseller and a trusted partner. However, for us to get any support from them I can't log a call directly with Rapid7 InsightVM. I have to work with the distributor to log the call for me."
"The team needs to improve the speed and focus on the new bandwidth feed. Sometimes, it takes a while to scan, especially with new updates."
"They should integrate the solution with multiple products."
"There is room for improvement on its cloud side. In the next release I would like to see better reporting."
"I would like to see more integration."
"There are certain limitations because of the product being used on a hybrid model. Rapid7 InsightVM doesn't offer a solution purely in the cloud."
