More ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer Pros →

"The solution is very scalable in terms of the licensing model.""InsightIDR’s ability to process millions of transactions per day, and to notify me of the most critical ones, is priceless. InsightIDR has the alerts tuned, and has the ability to quickly drill down to determine the threat level.""Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten. As a cloud tool, the product is highly scalable.""InsightIDR helps us investigate an environment to discover information about incidents.""During simulations or demonstrations, the tool generates alerts, providing details such as the specific application, its origin, and potential threats. For instance, it can identify if an application belongs to a known ransomware group. The system rates the threat, offering a clear detection ratio, such as 97 out of 100. It not only identifies threats but also illustrates the associated behaviors, helping us understand the potential risk to a particular endpoint.""The solution provides satisfying native integration features""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.""The solution is very stable and works very well for what I need it to do."

Cons
"The scalability is limited.""The customization of reports could be a lot easier. It is not difficult but it could be made easier.""It may not be as easy to use as Splunk.""The solution should improve on its log capturing capabilities.""There isn't good security integration when it comes to cybersecurity. The correlation of logs isn't so simple.""I would like to see more detailed reports.""The first tier of customer service and support is not great.""Support could improve to make the solution better."

More ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer Cons →

"I would like to see more development in InsightIDR towards building their SIEM solution and converting it to XDR.""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.""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.""Inability to get access to compliance reports within the solution.""The APIs can be further improved in Rapid7.""The dashboard is an area that could be simplified.""I feel it would greatly benefit from more supported log sources.""I would like the ability to adjust the threshold of certain existing alerts. Currently the only option is to change the notifications or create my own alert."

  • "It is a reasonably priced solution."
