Find out what your peers are saying about Splunk, Microsoft, Wazuh and others in Security Information and Event Management (SIEM)."The solution is easy to use, and the interface is intuitive."
"Rapid7 is easy to use and deploy. It is a simple solution and has easy data pulling."
"The alerting to drive investigations and remediation has been its most valuable feature."
"The solution's initial setup is easy."
"Enables the use of honey pots, honey users, and honey files to monitor for suspicious patterns."
"Intelligent alerting to avoid the common problem of alert fatigue associated with traditional SIEMs."
"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."
"The log aggregation and storage provided by InsightIDR has shown no issues with scalability; aggregating over one hundred millions events daily."
"InsightVM's most valuable feature is risk scoring, a formula based on different vectors like the ease of exploitation and the availability of the machine."
"This solution is much more user-friendly than past solutions I have used."
"We can create our own templates."
"The most valuable feature for me is the risk calculation based on monthly effects."
"It's very scalable."
"It is a stable solution."
"I like Rapid7's scan optimization options."
"NeXpose is a pretty good vulnerability scanner... There's a nice dashboard."
"Tenable Nessus is easier to deal with. It's more efficient and accurate. InsightIDR is heavier than Tenable in terms of performance and scanning. Rapid7 would be much easier to use if it had a network connector like Tenable. Tenable's connector allows continuous monitoring over the B caps."
"They should add more configuration and security features to it."
"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."
"The solution needs improvement in threat intelligence. Increasing the depth of intelligence to help users understand more about threats is a possibility. My suggestion is to expand access to other websites or resources."
"The main problem lies in the processes within the client's operating systems."
"It would be useful to import threat intelligence in YARA format along with known incorrect email addresses."
"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."
"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."
"The reporting is very bad when you compare it with other vulnerability assessment tools."
"We'd like the agent to cover more compliance issues."
"Rapid7 could be easier to manage."
"The solution should include a tighter integration with third-party threat modeling and threat intelligence tools."
"InsightVM is getting a little stale and is in danger of falling behind its competitors."
"Reporting could be expanded."
"Rapid7 InsightVM could be easier to use for those who are using it for the first time."
"The reporting could be better."
