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, Check Point Software Technologies 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."
"While I still have on-premises appliances, I can remotely monitor everything from the cloud, and Alert Logic's ease-of-access features have helped me streamline my workflow and reduce implementation time."
"It has the ability to install agents. It is pretty straightforward. You can automate the process pretty easily."
"The installation and configuration were slick."
"The solution was consistently available, and I cannot recall any instances where it was down."
"Notifications and the detail of notifications are most valuable. It is a user-friendly solution."
"We receive infrastructure security warnings from it. So, we know what is going on and what needs to be addressed."
"Everything is in one dashboard; I'm notified when there's an incident and advised on what steps to take."
"Rapid7's reporting is more robust than Tenable's."
"The alerting to drive investigations and remediation has been its most valuable feature."
"The solution's initial setup is easy."
"Very intuitive and easy to set up."
"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."
"Integration with threat modeling from the Metasploit and InsightIDR repositories."
"InsightIDR helps us investigate an environment to discover information about incidents."
"The solution is easy to use, and the interface is intuitive."
"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."
"We'd like to have triggered alerts sent to us so we see errors quicker."
"This product needs to mature more. While it is a good product, there are some areas where it needs work."
"The documentation, especially with the initial setup, needs improvement."
"Could be more of an endpoint protector."
"Alert Logic needs to expand its SOCs to serve more markets, such as the Middle East and Asia. There should be infrastructure that covers more time zones. The company should also develop an EDR that is natively integrated into their solution. Currently, a client must buy another EDR solution like CrowdStrike or Sophos. I think Alert Logic is developing this. Built-in email security could also be developed and integrated."
"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."
"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."
"The main problem lies in the processes within the client's operating systems."
"Needs a better ability to customize the check within the console."
"Inability to get access to compliance reports within the solution."
"Currently, it lacks the functionalities provided by Rapid7's User Behavior Analytics (UBA)."
"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 ability to tune the collector for custom logs would greatly help."
"The APIs can be further improved in Rapid7."
"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."
