Rapid7 InsightIDR Initial Setup
The initial setup is straightforward.
View full review »One of our customers had a Huawei firewall and we required help to do the configuration. However, the installation was easy with other standard vendors like Cisco and Check Point. The product's deployment got completed in four to five days and we required three people to handle it. One person was in charge of the portal's initial set up and the other one handled the integration of on-premises devices. The third one took care of Office 365 integration.

I was not involved in the initial setup as I am not an engineer.
The solution's initial setup is easy. The deployment process involves installing and collecting agents to communicate with the systems. In the case of multiple machines, it takes around five to six months to complete it. I rate the process as an eight.

Initial setup was straightforward.
View full review »Setup was extremely simple. An implementation specialist was assigned to me to help get me started and to learn my environment and challenges.
For the most part, all communications are sent to a log aggregation server. It is as simple as pointing syslogs to that server. For some, such as Active Directory and Exchange, there are plugins that are simple to install on those servers to make sure the appropriate logs are sent.
From InsightIDR, it is as simple as choosing from a list of supported log sources, or you can create a generic log source by specifying a port number. It’s that simple.

I rate InsightIDR eight out of 10 for ease of setup. It takes about seven working days to deploy. We install a connector on the LAN, which links up to the cloud and becomes one of your event sources. Next, you need to integrate everything with the console.
View full review »The initial setup it's straightforward, and it's not complex to deploy or configure. Because it is a cloud product and cloud platform, we just have to start it up and integrate with the local collector. After that, we do the customization. Currently, we provide installation and support for customers who subscribe to Rapid7 InsightIDR.

The initial setup was pretty straightforward, but it takes a little bit of a mental leap to understand how it all works together. What's key to remember is that it is user and endpoint centric, and not account centric. That means that, over time, it will start associating user.a on host1 to user.a on host2 and treating them as the same. It could be a little confusing for some companies if they don't use standardized permissions or don't use administrative-only accounts, but for most current user-access mechanisms, it shouldn't lead to any abnormal results.

The initial setup is quite straightforward and can be accomplished from their Quick Start Guide. As the platform is quite adaptable, it can continue to be expanded to add many different log types, which you may find to be a continuous process.

All Rapid7 solutions are easy to deploy because if you have any one of the products, the integrations between these products become easier because they have a lot of the important things within a single port. You get a single platform to visualize a lot of different kinds of data.

Very simple. Spin up a couple of servers, create all the log connectors and you are up and running. The setup was complete within days and we had alerts being generated straight away.
View full review »It is very simple. It is a case of requesting a trial from Rapid7, then connecting the relevant logging devices, such as our AD servers or DNS servers to it and sitting back.
Obviously, there is more to it than that, but that is the principle.
