Find out what your peers are saying about IBM, Splunk, Rapid7 and others in User Entity Behavior Analytics (UEBA)."I rate Rapid7 nine out of 10 for affordability"
"Enables the use of honey pots, honey users, and honey files to monitor for suspicious patterns."
"The solution is very stable and works very well for what I need it to do."
"The UI is very good."
"Features for user behavior analytics and the rules for attack review are good."
"The product works well. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Very intuitive and easy to set up."
"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."
"The 24/7 support is the most valuable feature. They have been able to answer support questions pretty quickly."
"On the Varonis side, technical support is phenomenal. Their ability to explain is very good, and they seem to be very knowledgeable. When I get an alert that doesn't quite make sense, they dive in there and kind of take me through it. That's very useful and very good. There are some false alerts, but it is better to have a false alert than no alert at all."
"It can easily identify unusual behavior or access patterns that may pose a potential threat, while operating as a unified reporting system."
"That alerting and reporting service is great."
"The telemetry to capture everything and the reports are very easy to configure without having a developer degree."
"The analytics would have to be our most valuable feature."
"The ability to tune the collector for custom logs would greatly help."
"They should add more configuration and security features to it."
"I feel it would greatly benefit from more supported log sources."
"One thing that springs to mind is easier API integration with ITSMs. We are evaluating a new ITSM and I would like to have InsightIDR create a ticket when an attack is identified, and the ticket would be closed in InsightIDR when the ITSM resolution is completed. This would take out the "single point of failure" we currently have, if the email recipient is somehow absent, in recording the risk appetite for the incident and the actions taken to mitigate or not."
"Inability to get access to compliance reports within the solution."
"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."
"I would like to see more development in InsightIDR towards building their SIEM solution and converting it to XDR."
"The integration capabilities of the solution have certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"We have Microsoft Office 365. I just saw an article today which says that they're actually getting integrated with Microsoft Office 365, which would be a useful feature. For user-based reports, log on activity, and stuff like that, it doesn't seem to really be present like Log360. That could just be my inexperience with it. I've been dealing with it for only about two and a half months."
"I would like it to have cloud integration."
"It is significantly complex."
"For unstructured data monitoring, it's one of the top ones, if not the top one, due to its usability."
"I'd like to see automatic updates for this solution. Currently, it's a manual process to update all the keywords"
"The GUI should be more functional. There should be a process for connecting through Chrome, Internet Explorer, etc."
