Senior Process Expert at A.P. Moller - Maersk
Gained full visibility and streamlined threat detection through behavior-based insights and AI integration
Initially, we got to have a lot of false positives when we onboarded, but nowadays it's quite smooth. We have fine-tuned our security policies and allowed different levels of policies to get rid of those false positives. Currently, we are getting a fairly good amount of incidents that are not false positives or benign, but actionable items. The process is streamlined. In the initial days, the operations used to get involved in a lot of benign and other activities, but now the process is streamlined. We are leveraging the auto-detection and remediation plans. The operations teams are now more involved in other business roles as well, not just looking into the logs and fetching out what's happening there. They have fixed a lot of things. Initially, they didn't have IAC code drift detection, cloud posture management, or security posture management, but they have those now. They purchased different vendors and did a merger with that. They have now Prisma Cloud that gets integrated and now they are working with Cortex Cloud. Everything that was negative has now been addressed, and the product altogether looks to be in a very better and mature shape now. Currently, it's more or less detecting the workloads with AI-based best practices. Since most organizations are consuming AI agents and other things, we are looking forward to seeing what other feature enhancements Palo Alto can support in that.

Auto scanning and enhanced security but re-adding protections need improvement
At that time, we observed certain issues with the product. The functionalities could be improved, such as the isolation feature. If we remove our protection, we cannot easily add it back. If, in our organization, we need to remove a specific system for a particular time, we cannot add it back for security after doing so. This is one thing we have experienced. Scalability is also lacking. If we want to do the same thing repeatedly, there's not much the solution offers; it isn't very strong.

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

"We think that this product will help us grow, as it meets our needs currently and we can grow with it over time."
"It collects and caches and the knowledge of machine learning from different customers to take to the cloud, it makes it better to use for everybody, it allows for quick learning and updates and can, therefore, offer zero-day malware security, and this sharing of metadata helps make the solution very safe."
"The product is very good, it has caught a lot of exploits that most products would not."
"I recommend this solution to others because it is easy to manage, reliable, and overall good to use."
"Stability is a primary factor, and then there's the ease of distribution and policy management; Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is very easy to work with, and we're quite happy with them."
"If you are looking for security, mainly for advanced threat prevention from ransomware and malware attacks, I would recommend Cortex."
"The solution helps find bugs, and it is safe to use to prevent attacks by hackers."
"The most valuable features are the fact that it was running in the background and it would intercept any weird stuff, and the fact that it would send things directly to the cloud for sandboxing. It's quite practical."
"The auto-scanning feature is quite beneficial."
"The biggest reason why we chose Rapid7 was to gain value in a really quick time. Its deployment doesn't take months. It just takes a few days."
"Enables the use of honey pots, honey users, and honey files to monitor for suspicious patterns."
"InsightIDR has allowed us to find potential security issues that we did not know existed, and get remediation quickly."
"It improved my organization by building a security alerting program."
"The UI is very good."
"I am able to run automated actions based on the output of reports, leaving me extra time to focus on more pressing matters."
"Very intuitive and easy to set up."
"Features for user behavior analytics and the rules for attack review are good."
 

Cons

"Impact on system performance is horrible, adding a lot of delays for users."
"If he is using a smaller company, he can depend on some other tools because Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is a bit expensive."
"Basically, they don't provide customer support tools just to investigate the logs."
"Being able to filter the events to see those that are related to the actual alert would save time spent by the engineer."
"In an upcoming release, the solution could improve by proving hard disk encryption. If it could support this it would be a complete solution."
"If they had pulse rate detection, it would be better."
"They are charging for Network Traffic Analyzer (NTA) services, so if the per GB data could be provided at a certain level free of cost or at the same cost which the customer is taking for the entire bundle, that would be better."
"Cortex XDR could improve its sales support team, including better commission structures and referral programs."
"Scalability is lacking. If we want to do the same thing repeatedly, there's not much the solution offers; it isn't very strong."
"The functionalities could be improved, such as the isolation feature."
"The interface for doing investigation needs to be enhanced with minor improvements that would make it more useful."
"It takes time for the product's support team to resolve issues, making it an area of concern where improvements are required."
"They should add more configuration and security features to it."
"The searching feature in Rapid7 InsightIDR needs to evolve"
"Cloud risk assessment is one area where I think they need a lot of improvement."
"Personally, I feel it would greatly benefit from more supported log sources."
"I would like to see more development in InsightIDR towards building their SIEM solution and converting it to XDR."
"The main problem lies in the processes within the client's operating systems."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Cortex XDR's pricing is ok."
"The solution is expensive. It's pricing is on a yearly-basis."
"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is an expensive solution."
"I am using the Community edition."
"I don't have any issues with the pricing. We are satisfied with the price."
"If one wishes to work with another team or large number of users at a future point, he must purchase a license for them."
"The price of the solution is high for the license and in general."
"The cost depends on your chosen license type, like Pro or other licenses."
Information not available
"Rapid7 InsightIDR charges us based on the endpoints we connect to."
"Rapid7 InsightIDR is priced very well and is cost-effective."
"The pricing and licensing are competitive."
"The pricing of the solution depends on the user. But there is a yearly licensing cost."
"Rapid7 InsightIDR's pricing is reasonable but we have challenges with the Minimum Order Quantity. It is not reasonable for customers who have less than one hundred devices. If they can reduce Minimum Order Quantity, it is good. You have to pay around 5000-6000 dollars per year for the product. The pricing includes maintenance and support costs."
"​Accurately predict your licensing counts as this is a subscription based product.​"
"The solution has a mid-range price point in the market"
"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."
