Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It is a very stable solution.""We were able to identify criminals attempting to login from China and put a stop on their IP locations.""I am able to run automated actions based on the output of reports, leaving me extra time to focus on more pressing matters.""The log aggregation and storage provided by InsightIDR has shown no issues with scalability; aggregating over one hundred millions events daily.""The solution is very scalable in terms of the licensing model.""​​User behavioral analytics allows us to pinpoint abnormal or suspicious behavior among millions of events every day.""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.""I like that it's a cloud-based solution."

"We are now able to completely monitor our environment so we can review what is there, which is a big win for us.""Trellix ESM is very user-friendly.""The most valuable features of McAfee ESM are intrusion detection, malware protection, and the device controller.""It enables us to detect malicious threats, issues, or vulnerabilities in our network.""It is easy to use and deploy. It comes with user-friendly manuals.""It can be easily deployed with the other solutions.""It is a good central viewpoint for issues. These can then be investigated in more detail on the subnet server(s)/endpoints.""I rate the tool's deployment an eight out of ten. The deployment is completed in two days."

Cons
"The APIs can be further improved in Rapid7.""Currently, it lacks the functionalities provided by Rapid7's User Behavior Analytics (UBA).""Cloud risk assessment is one area where I think they need a lot of improvement.""The integration capabilities of the solution have certain shortcomings where improvements are required.""The interface for doing investigation needs to be enhanced with minor improvements that would make it more useful.""The main problem lies in the processes within the client's operating systems.""I would like the ability to adjust the threshold of certain existing alerts. Currently the only option is to change the notifications or create my own alert.""I would like to see more development in InsightIDR towards building their SIEM solution and converting it to XDR."

More Rapid7 InsightIDR Cons →

"The product's stability is an area of concern where improvements are required.""There's no software support from McAfee.""I would like to see improvements to the user interface.""We cannot add new data sources to the most recent version.""We acquired the IBM product because McAfee is slightly confusing to use, and it's broader.""It seems McAfee does test its product before releasing. When we - not only us, other companies also - deploy McAfee, we face multiple issues from the customer side, after which, McAfee reacts and fixes the bugs.""There are some banking and transactional cases that are local, South America transactions. I would like to see them add features that can be used locally, to make those transactions more reliable.""We would welcome integrations with some of the new McAfee acquisitions, e.g., behavioural analytics."

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 →

  • "You should buy the distributed option instead of the all-in-one for environments with more than 1000 end points."
  • "We pay for our licensing fees on a yearly basis, and there are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
  • "The cost is dependent on the customer's environment and requirements."
  • "The pricing is good, and they are competitive compared to providers such as RSA and IBM QRadar."
  • "The cost is all included. The finance department handles the financial part, and we mostly don't get involved in it."
  • "We renew our license annually."
  • "McAfee is the right choice for a low-budget solution."
  • "The price is good. It's moderate. We follow a pay-as-you-go model. There are different models available, and they can also be monthly. You can choose monthly or yearly. It's very flexible. If our existing customers exceed the current plan, you can just call McAfee and get it extended."

    Top Answer:The product is slightly expensive. They offer some discount on the purchase of a certain number of nodes. They should give some concession on the license renewal as well.
