We performed a comparison between Alert Logic and Rapid7 InsightIDR based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Tenable, Wiz, SentinelOne and others in Vulnerability Management."The most valuable aspect of Alert Logic is its technology platform. They have SOCs in the US and Europe, giving them global visibility of the threat landscape. They detect and respond to threats in minutes. Their biggest value is human expertise. You're being attacked by a human, and you cannot respond to it unless you have a human on the other side. They have the human and technological resources to respond."
"The quicker implementation of changes to our infrastructure from Alert Logic tell us if there are any problems."
"It improves our security. Before, we didn't have anything scanning our containers. We had software scanning all the physical servers, but we had nothing to scan our containers. With Alert Logic, we can do that."
"The installation and configuration were slick."
"We receive infrastructure security warnings from it. So, we know what is going on and what needs to be addressed."
"It has the ability to install agents. It is pretty straightforward. You can automate the process pretty easily."
"It is a very stable product."
"Everything is in one dashboard; I'm notified when there's an incident and advised on what steps to take."
"If you were on other solutions, you would notice that they use agents from third-party, from open-source, from a native OS, or from other tools. Here, however, it is an agent from Rapid7 itself. This adds to the solution's overall capabilities."
"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."
"I like the tool's user analysis feature."
"Another very important part of insightIDR is the ability to collect data from endpoint devices via agent software. With a large remote workforce, this allows visibility into the endpoints that are connected to the internet, but not to the corporate network."
"The log aggregation and storage provided by InsightIDR has shown no issues with scalability; aggregating over one hundred millions events daily."
"The alerting to drive investigations and remediation has been its most valuable feature."
"The solution is easy to use, and the interface is intuitive."
"Great coverage of all systems within our network from endpoint to firewall."
"They have ideas and email you whatever they find, but they don't have a dedicated security team who will work on an attack or a specific security instance."
"The documentation, especially with the initial setup, needs improvement."
"Its menu is not very intuitive. I would like to see the user menu expanded a bit. The user menu is very layered, and because of the layers, you have to go down a path that is not very intuitive."
"I would like to see it do initial scans and start capturing data, which it will truly analyze, not just be a reporting system saying, "Here is an email. Here is an email. Here is an email.""
"The setup process was complex."
"We'd like to have triggered alerts sent to us so we see errors quicker."
"I would like more data on the alert payload. It would be good to have the ability to customize the alert payload to add whatever data that we want on there. Right now, it is a bit limited."
"As a user involved with the user interface, I believe there is a need to continue improving it based on feedback from our customers."
"The interface for doing investigation needs to be enhanced with minor improvements that would make it more useful."
"Inability to get access to compliance reports within the solution."
"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."
"One of the things that could be better is digital forensics. It is there, but it can be better. They could provide more on the endpoint detection level."
"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."
"It takes time for the product's support team to resolve issues, making it an area of concern where improvements are required."
"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."
"I would like to see more development in InsightIDR towards building their SIEM solution and converting it to XDR."
