Remote Access Security Reinforced with Real-Time Device Protection

Dashboard customization is needed for improvements. While the centralized management is strong, the dashboard could offer more flexibility. It would be helpful to tailor views for different roles, such as IT or security support. Regarding needed improvements, custom report building could be enhanced. Current reports are informative, and a drag-and-drop builder would allow teams to create tailored views for compliance, executive summaries, or operational metrics. For further improvements, enhancing threat simulation and testing would be valuable. Building a threat simulation tool and adding native capabilities to simulate phishing, malware, or ransomware scenarios will help teams validate protection and train users without relying on third-party tools.

SohailHyder

Head Of Cyber Security at Super Secure

Has supported compliance needs for mid-sized organizations but lacks customization and advanced integration

If we pitch Rapid7 InsightIDR against solutions such as SIEMs from Splunk or LogRhythm, it is not as customizable as a SIEM solution is. This is where it can improve if we keep in front the feature sets of a complete SIEM solution. Most common in the market is QRadar, but it is depleting now. It has been taken over by some other products such as Splunk and LogRhythm. If we compare these things with Rapid7 InsightIDR, then there are definitely some gaps that need to be filled. Data retention is also one concern because Rapid7 InsightIDR is cloud-based and operates on a subscription model. Whatever data you want to retain, it has to be paid for separately or it has a cost. Other solutions that are on-premises can have their own infrastructure or they provide some data retention for a month or in some capacity-wise, they provide that solution to them which makes them more attractive.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"Administratively, it's easy to control."

"When we provision new laptops for remote employees, Check Point Harmony Endpoint automatically applies our security configurations the moment the device connects to the network, which includes anti-ransomware protections, firewall rules, and web filtering."

"I use Check Point Harmony Endpoint because it is an easy solution to implement and a good solution overall."

"One of the coolest features is that it provides an HTML report on the laptop and the endpoint console for the administrator."

"It features strong AI-based threat prevention and security management, making it a solid choice for end users."

"The best thing is that it fits into all environments, which gives any organization a chance to use it intuitively without worrying about the nature of their industry."

"Few solutions on the market perform tasks as efficiently as those performed and executed by Check Point Harmony Endpoint."

"This software incorporates security AI features and effectively manages bandwidth with its DRS capabilities."

More Check Point Harmony Endpoint pros

"We were able to identify criminals attempting to login from China and put a stop on their IP locations."

"I like that it's a cloud-based solution."

"The incident case management is the most valuable feature. Even though there's always something I find I would like to add to that feature, the ability to quickly sort through all the logs, network and endpoint data, etc., and add it to an incident case as part of the investigation, is nice. Having it automatically timeline that additional data into the original incident timeline, and correlate it to other notable events and activities on the network, results in a huge improvement in our overall confidence that we've quickly traced down the right source of an issue."

"It improved my organization by building a security alerting program."

"Great coverage of all systems within our network from endpoint to firewall."

"Log search allows us to dive deep into aggregated logs and query all event types at once."

"Rapid7's reporting is more robust than Tenable's."

"The UI is very good."

More Rapid7 InsightIDR pros

Cons

"The solutions agent could have better performance, it is a little slow sometimes."

"The remote deployment with Check Point Endpoint Security requires improvement. We have to depend on some of their deployment tools. I would like a system endpoint protection management tool or a remote deployment tool."

"The management in Check Point Harmony Endpoint could be improved."

"The documentation of Check Point Harmony Endpoint needs improvement because it is very hard to find on the internet and it is not intuitive."

"The solution needs more alerts to warn of attacks."

"I think the documentation for Check Point Harmony Endpoint is a little thin because it is not really intuitive."

"I would like to see simple sandboxing for malware analysis."

"Sometimes the antivirus updates fail. We don't understand why because sometimes it fails but the next time you try it goes well and the firewall always has access to the internet. We don't understand why it sometimes fails."

More Check Point Harmony Endpoint cons

"There is a future in AI with Rapid7, however, it is not fully operated. There are certain limitations with Rapid7 that I am working on."

"Sometimes, it is hard to get the right queries to use. Currently, the tool lacks a pre-made set of queries."

"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."

"InsightIDR is only available in a cloud version. Some of our customers prefer an on-prem solution because they want to manage the security within their environment."

"The dashboard is an area that could be simplified."

"Inability to get access to compliance reports within the solution."

"Cloud risk assessment is one area where I think they need a lot of improvement."

"Needs a better ability to customize the check within the console."

More Rapid7 InsightIDR cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"One of the key factors that made us go with this solution was the pricing. On the licensing part, there was an initial complementary set of licenses offered in the initial onboarding package, either 15 or 20. Then, we had some complementary licenses in the initial purchase of the package. That was pretty useful."

"Price-wise, the product is affordable. There are no additional costs apart from the licensing charges that are attached to the product."

"In comparison to other software solutions available on the market, it comes at a higher price point."

"The licensing cost for Check Point is $3 USD or $4 USD per end-user."

"I bought them for 12 months and I genuinely cannot remember what I paid for them. I think it's about 100 pounds per user per year, so about 10 pounds a month per person."

"In terms of licensing, have a buffer zone around your projects in terms of the amount of endpoints that you want to have. You can always have more, but it is best to leave room for a little increase or growth."

"The solution is too pricey."

"We implement this solution with a yearly subscription and there are no extra costs."

More Check Point Harmony Endpoint pricing and cost advice

"The pricing of the solution depends on the user. But there is a yearly licensing cost."

"I rate Rapid7 InsightIDR's price a four on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."

"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."

"Rapid7 InsightIDR is priced very well and is cost-effective."

"It is on a yearly basis. For our own company, for about 250 users, it was 16,000 euros a year."

"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."

"Rapid7 InsightIDR is a cheaply priced product. On a scale of one to ten, where one is very expensive, and ten is very cheap, I rate the product's price at seven or eight."
