Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"File monitoring is the most valuable feature of the solution.""Its reporting features are great. It gives you an in-depth report. Its customization is also great, and it is working fine.""What's most valuable in Tripwire Enterprise is the ability to execute custom COCR rules that lets me fine-tune how I monitor Linux and Windows agents.""We use Tripwire Enterprise as a tool to test the vulnerability of a network. That is the most valuable feature of the product for us.""The most valuable feature is the integrity.""The product supports different platforms.""Even if you change a single word in Notepad, it will let you know whether it was added, removed, or modified.""The most valuable feature is integrity management. I had some discussions with service providers, and they also agreed."

"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.""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.""Great coverage of all systems within our network from endpoint to firewall.""I rate Rapid7 nine out of 10 for affordability""I like the tool's user analysis feature.""Simple configuration and automatically syncs to the cloud platform.""I like that it's a cloud-based solution.""Rapid7's reporting is more robust than Tenable's."

Cons
"The Windows online integration license needs to be improved.""A lot of network devices need a custom integration.""Cloud monitoring could be better. It would also be better if the company followed a pay-as-you-use model.""It needs more local support from the OEM side. It would be great if this can be improved.""The main way that it can be improved is through better reporting.""An area for improvement in Tripwire Enterprise is stability, as my company had stability issues with the last few versions of the solution. Tripwire Enterprise has been a bit buggy.""The initial setup is complex.""The deployment with certain systems can be difficult and it needs to be simplified."

More Fortra's Tripwire Enterprise Cons →

"I would like to see more development in InsightIDR towards building their SIEM solution and converting it to XDR.""Currently, it lacks the functionalities provided by Rapid7's User Behavior Analytics (UBA).""The ability to tune the collector for custom logs would greatly help.""It would be useful to import threat intelligence in YARA format along with known incorrect email addresses.​""The interface for doing investigation needs to be enhanced with minor improvements that would make it more useful.""Lacks a mobile application.""Inability to get access to compliance reports within the solution.""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."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The licensing depends on the equipment, how many devices and the types of devices."
  • "Cloud monitoring could be better. It could also be cheaper. It would be better if the company followed a pay-as-you-use model."
  • "Tripwire is more expensive than Netwrix."
  • More Fortra's Tripwire Enterprise 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."
