Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The solution is very scalable in terms of the licensing model.""Simple configuration and automatically syncs to the cloud platform.""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.""Integration with threat modeling from the Metasploit and InsightIDR repositories.""The biggest reason why we chose Rapid7 was to gain value in a really quick time. Its deployment doesn't take months. It just takes a few days.""Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten. As a cloud tool, the product is highly scalable.""I have seen that Rapid7 InsightIDR provides security to the networks and endpoints in the company.""I like the tool's user analysis feature."

More Rapid7 InsightIDR Pros →

"The most valuable features are its data aggregation and the ability to automatically identify a number of threats, then suggest recommended actions upon them.""The product is at the forefront of auto-remediation networking. It's great.""The most valuable feature is being able to take data and put it into other systems so that we could see the output, and to see where we need to apply our focus.""Splunk is more user-friendly than some competing solutions we tried.""It's easily scalable.""Because of some of the visualizations that we utilize, we are able to understand strange, unusual traffic on our networks.""The solution is definitely scalable.""The solution appears to be stable, although we haven't used it heavily."

Cons
"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.""Sometimes, it is hard to get the right queries to use. Currently, the tool lacks a pre-made set of queries.""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.""I would like to see more development in InsightIDR towards building their SIEM solution and converting it to XDR.""Cloud risk assessment is one area where I think they need a lot of improvement.""The interface for doing investigation needs to be enhanced with minor improvements that would make it more useful.""The integration capabilities of the solution have certain shortcomings where improvements are required.""The APIs can be further improved in Rapid7."

More Rapid7 InsightIDR Cons →

"The ability to do more complicated data investigation would be a welcome addition for pros, though the functionality now gives most people what they need.""If the price was lowered and the setup process was less complex, I would consider rating it higher.""The initial setup was complex because some of the configurations that we required needed customization.""It could be easier to scale the solution if you are using it on-premise, not in the cloud.""They should work to add more built-in correlation searches and more use cases based on worldwide customer experiences. They need more ready-made use cases.""There are occasional bugs.""In the future I would like to see simplified statistics and analytical threats.""Currently, a lot of network operations need improvement. We still need people to handle incidents. Our vision is to leverage status and convert it directly from the network devices. It would be ideal if we could take action using APIs and API code and remove manual processes."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "​I am sure that there are cheaper products out there, but none that meet so many of our needs whilst maintaining stability and usability.​"
  • "The team is very willing to work with companies. My suggestion is to call the Rapid7 sales department and see how they can help.​"
  • "Licensing is straightforward. If, for some reason, you don’t meet the minimum licensing requirements, there is a third-party managed service that can help."
  • "​Accurately predict your licensing counts as this is a subscription based product.​"
  • "The pricing and licensing are competitive."
  • "Licensing is by endpoint and amount of retention time (at least ours is). Default retention was one year, but we are able to push the retention further if needed. There's also a provide-your-own-S3 option for longer retention if you don't want to pay for the additional retention years in your Rapid7 agreement."
  • "It is a reasonably priced solution."
  • "It is on a yearly basis. For our own company, for about 250 users, it was 16,000 euros a year."
  • More Rapid7 InsightIDR Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "I hope we can increase the free license to be more than 5 gig a day. This would help people who want to introduce a POC or a demo license for the solution."
  • "My biggest complaint is the way they do pricing... You can never know the pricing for next year. Every single time you adjust to something new, the price goes up. It's impossible to truly budget for it. It goes up constantly."
  • "There are additional costs associated with the integrator."
  • "The licensing costs is around 10,000 dollars."
  • "Pricing varies based on the packages you choose and the volume of your usage."
  • "I am not aware of the price, but it is expensive."
