Pros
"Setup is straightforward with the same reliability and scalability as the firewall series."

More Hillstone S-Series Network Intrusion Prevention System Pros →

"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten. As a cloud tool, the product is highly scalable.""During simulations or demonstrations, the tool generates alerts, providing details such as the specific application, its origin, and potential threats. For instance, it can identify if an application belongs to a known ransomware group. The system rates the threat, offering a clear detection ratio, such as 97 out of 100. It not only identifies threats but also illustrates the associated behaviors, helping us understand the potential risk to a particular endpoint.""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.""Enables the use of honey pots, honey users, and honey files to monitor for suspicious patterns.""It is a very stable solution.""InsightIDR helps us investigate an environment to discover information about incidents.""The UI is very good.""Intelligent alerting to avoid the common problem of alert fatigue associated with traditional SIEMs."

Cons
"The APIs can be further improved in Rapid7.""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.""The product allows us to make only 30 custom rules.""Lacks a mobile application.""They should add more configuration and security features to it.""Inability to get access to compliance reports within the solution.""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.""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."

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."

    Top Answer:We chose Rapid7 because of its price. IBM QRadar charges us based on data storage. Rapid7 InsightIDR charges us based on the endpoints we connect to. We are satisfied with the product’s price.
