Pros
"The most valuable feature is alerting.""It integrates well with other solutions and provides good threat intelligence in terms of external threats.""I am impressed with the tool's integration of Palo Alto products which serves as a platform for security.""The feature that I like best is the dashboard.""The logs play a crucial role as they contribute to blocking unwanted Internet traffic."

"The web interface is great — very useful and user-friendly.""InsightIDR’s ability to process millions of transactions per day, and to notify me of the most critical ones, is priceless. InsightIDR has the alerts tuned, and has the ability to quickly drill down to determine the threat level.""The solution is easy to use, and the interface is intuitive.""Enables the use of honey pots, honey users, and honey files to monitor for suspicious patterns.""The solution's initial setup is easy.""The alerting to drive investigations and remediation has been its most valuable feature.​""InsightIDR helps us investigate an environment to discover information about incidents.""Rapid7 InsightIDR integrates well with other solutions. It's also easy to configure because Rapid7 InsightIDR has a lot of instructions posted on their website that customers can follow if they need to get the source log."

Cons
"It is a completely cloud-based product at present.""It would be better if they used the threat intelligence feeds directly from their side and changing the verdict instead of us requesting it.""I would like the tool to see more integration with Cortex XDR. There is no real reason to keep them separate.""It would be helpful to have better documentation for configuring and installing the solution.""I would like to have more technical documentation that contains greater detail on the types of threats that are occurring."

"The interface for doing investigation needs to be enhanced with minor improvements that would make it more useful.""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 reporting is the weakest aspect. There needs to be multi-level grouping for events (for example, group by user and destination). Right now, we can do a group by user and a separate table or group by destination. But I'd be more interested in where a person was logging into instead of who was logging in or where he was logging in.""I feel it would greatly benefit from more supported log sources.""The ability to tune the collector for custom logs would greatly help.""Cloud risk assessment is one area where I think they need a lot of improvement.""It would be useful to import threat intelligence in YARA format along with known incorrect email addresses.​""It takes time for the product's support team to resolve issues, making it an area of concern where improvements are required."

  • "The solution is reasonably priced."
  • More Palo Alto Networks AutoFocus 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."
