Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The technical support is a solid 10 out of 10 as they take the time to answer any questions or problems which may arise in a reasonable time frame.""I am able to run automated actions based on the output of reports, leaving me extra time to focus on more pressing matters.""It improved my organization by building a security alerting program.""We were able to identify criminals attempting to login from China and put a stop on their IP locations.""Simple configuration and automatically syncs to the cloud platform.""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 have seen that Rapid7 InsightIDR provides security to the networks and endpoints in the company.""I like that it's a cloud-based solution."

More Rapid7 InsightIDR Pros →

"We are really pleased with Splunk and its features. It would be practically impossible to function without it. To provide a general overview of the system, it's important to note that the standard log files are currently around 250 gigabytes per day. It would be impossible to manually walk through these logs by hand, which is why automation is essential.""This intelligent user behavior analytics package is easy to configure and use while remaining feature filled.""This is a good security product.""The most valuable features are its data aggregation and the ability to automatically identify a number of threats, then suggest recommended actions upon them.""It is a solution that helps test and measure customer satisfaction.""The solution appears to be stable, although we haven't used it heavily.""The solution is extremely scalable. Our customers are regularly scaling up after installing Splunk.""Splunk is more user-friendly than some competing solutions we tried."

Cons
"Currently, it lacks the functionalities provided by Rapid7's User Behavior Analytics (UBA).""The dashboard is an area that could be simplified.""Customised alert recipients need to be added to allow better first-line action and quicker response. Configurable honeypots would be a welcome addition.""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.""It takes time for the product's support team to resolve issues, making it an area of concern where improvements are required.""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.""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."

More Rapid7 InsightIDR Cons →

"We'd like the ability to do custom searches.""The initial setup was complex because some of the configurations that we required needed customization.""I'm not aware of any lacking features.""There are occasional bugs.""If the price was lowered and the setup process was less complex, I would consider rating it higher.""The correlation engine should have persistent and definable rules.""It could be easier to scale the solution if you are using it on-premise, not in the cloud.""I would like improved downward integration with other tools such as McAfee and other GCP solutions."

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 →

  • "I hope we can increase the free license to be more than 5 gig a day. This would help people who want to introduce a POC or a demo license for the solution."
  • "My biggest complaint is the way they do pricing... You can never know the pricing for next year. Every single time you adjust to something new, the price goes up. It's impossible to truly budget for it. It goes up constantly."
  • "There are additional costs associated with the integrator."
  • "The licensing costs is around 10,000 dollars."
  • "Pricing varies based on the packages you choose and the volume of your usage."
  • "I am not aware of the price, but it is expensive."
