We performed a comparison between Alert Logic and Rapid7 InsightIDR based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Tenable, Wiz, Check Point Software Technologies and others in Vulnerability Management."The quicker implementation of changes to our infrastructure from Alert Logic tell us if there are any problems."
"We receive infrastructure security warnings from it. So, we know what is going on and what needs to be addressed."
"Notifications and the detail of notifications are most valuable. It is a user-friendly solution."
"The installation and configuration were slick."
"It is a very stable product."
"The most valuable aspect of Alert Logic is its technology platform. They have SOCs in the US and Europe, giving them global visibility of the threat landscape. They detect and respond to threats in minutes. Their biggest value is human expertise. You're being attacked by a human, and you cannot respond to it unless you have a human on the other side. They have the human and technological resources to respond."
"Everything is in one dashboard; I'm notified when there's an incident and advised on what steps to take."
"It has the ability to install agents. It is pretty straightforward. You can automate the process pretty easily."
"Integration with threat modeling from the Metasploit and InsightIDR repositories."
"The solution's initial setup is easy."
"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."
"Very intuitive and easy to set up."
"The log aggregation and storage provided by InsightIDR has shown no issues with scalability; aggregating over one hundred millions events daily."
"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."
"The solution is very stable and works very well for what I need it to do."
"User behavioral analytics allows us to pinpoint abnormal or suspicious behavior among millions of events every day."
"The setup process was complex."
"The documentation, especially with the initial setup, needs improvement."
"They have ideas and email you whatever they find, but they don't have a dedicated security team who will work on an attack or a specific security instance."
"I would like more data on the alert payload. It would be good to have the ability to customize the alert payload to add whatever data that we want on there. Right now, it is a bit limited."
"As a user involved with the user interface, I believe there is a need to continue improving it based on feedback from our customers."
"Alert Logic needs to expand its SOCs to serve more markets, such as the Middle East and Asia. There should be infrastructure that covers more time zones. The company should also develop an EDR that is natively integrated into their solution. Currently, a client must buy another EDR solution like CrowdStrike or Sophos. I think Alert Logic is developing this. Built-in email security could also be developed and integrated."
"Its menu is not very intuitive. I would like to see the user menu expanded a bit. The user menu is very layered, and because of the layers, you have to go down a path that is not very intuitive."
"This product needs to mature more. While it is a good product, there are some areas where it needs work."
"They should add more configuration and security features to it."
"The dashboard is an area that could be simplified."
"Currently, it lacks the functionalities provided by Rapid7's User Behavior Analytics (UBA)."
"Lacks a mobile application."
"Customised alert recipients need to be added to allow better first-line action and quicker response. Configurable honeypots would be a welcome addition."
"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."
"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 APIs can be further improved in Rapid7."
