Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"ActivTrack has a range of features, including a detailed dashboard, alert monitoring, screenshots, and report generation. Overall, ActivTrak has worked as advertised, and we're happy. Our favorite feature is probably the alerts. ActivTrack warns employees when they break the rules, which helps us keep staff in check."

More ActivTrack Pros →

"I like that it's a cloud-based solution.""I like the tool's user analysis feature.""Features for user behavior analytics and the rules for attack review are good.""Enables the use of honey pots, honey users, and honey files to monitor for suspicious patterns.""Dashboards, including the main screen, provide much-needed information at a glance, without hours of coding and sifting through logs to find it. In case of an actual security incident, I have faith that insightIDR has retained all logs in a secure manner that prevents log tampering as well.""InsightIDR has allowed us to find potential security issues that we did not know existed, and get remediation quickly.""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.""Rapid7 is easy to use and deploy. It is a simple solution and has easy data pulling."

Cons
"I prefer an on-prem deployment, but ActivTrak currently doesn't offer this. It would address privacy concerns that come up for end-users. I would also love it if monitoring could be expanded to company mobile phones. This will enable us to track and maintain productivity on devices like that."

More ActivTrack Cons →

"Inability to get access to compliance reports within the solution.""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.""One of the things that could be better is digital forensics. It is there, but it can be better. They could provide more on the endpoint detection level.""The ability to tune the collector for custom logs would greatly help.""Sometimes, it is hard to get the right queries to use. Currently, the tool lacks a pre-made set of queries.""The dashboard is an area that could be simplified.""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 interface for doing investigation needs to be enhanced with minor improvements that would make it more useful."

Pricing and Cost Advice
Information Not Available
  • "​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."
