Scalable platform with intuitive features for detecting malicious files

The initial setup process is straightforward. We have to install the agent, create a package, and deploy it on servers. It has a prebuilt console managed by the cloud team of Cybereason. We don't have to worry about the console and concentrate on endpoint implementation. It takes ten days to deploy it on 10,000 devices.

Providing comprehensive insight into alerts while working towards AI enhancement

I definitely recommend Rapid7 InsightIDR. It is becoming better, with improvements being continuously made to the product. Right now, I do not have any advice about Rapid7 for other users because every organization or user has different criteria or multiple use cases, so I refrain from commenting on that. I rate the overall solution seven out of ten.

More Cybereason Endpoint Detection & Response pros

"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."

"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."

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

"The alerting to drive investigations and remediation has been its most valuable feature."

"I like the tool's user analysis feature."

Cons

"There can be problems with the EDI."

"The deployment on individual endpoints is more geared toward larger organizations. It might prove to be a bit too complicated for a smaller organization. You need to know what you're doing when you're deploying the sensor."

"Compared to our previous endpoint, we have a lot more false positives and a lot more duplication of alerts. So we're chasing more alerts."

"The integration with Microsoft solutions and Microsoft capabilities needs to be improved."

"Reporting could be a bit more granular so that we had the ability to check regions and countries. I just noticed that, for instance, if I look at our servers, it's either "contained" or it's "not contained". I don't have the option, for instance, to look at countries. It only allows me to look at users as one big group."

"Ad hoc higher-level reporting to senior management can be improved or can be implemented. That's definitely an area of improvement that they need to focus on."

"Its Microsoft PowerShell protections still need some compatibility improvements. We have run across just a few. It is compatible with 90% of what we have in our network, but there is that 10% that we are still struggling with as far as compatibility with the type of PowerShell scripts needed to run our day-to-day business."

"While the product is very good, there are still some areas for improvement. The initial triage area could be a bit simpler. They get into the weeds real fast; it gets very detailed very fast. I am still looking for an easier triage layer on top with the ability to dig deeper."

More Cybereason Endpoint Detection & Response cons

"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."

"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."

"It takes time for the product's support team to resolve issues, making it an area of concern where improvements are required."

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

"It would be useful to import threat intelligence in YARA format along with known incorrect email addresses."

"The integration capabilities of the solution have certain shortcomings where improvements are required."

"The interface for doing investigation needs to be enhanced with minor improvements that would make it more useful."

"I feel it would greatly benefit from more supported log sources."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"In terms of pricing, it's a good solution."

"The pricing is manageable."

"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing an eight."

"Though it is not the cheapest solution but it fits our budget. We pay an annual licensing fee."

"This product is somewhat expensive and should be cheaper."

"In terms of cost, this is a good choice for our needs."

"I do not have experience with the licensing of the product."

"I had to go through a third-party to purchase it, which I wasn't really pleased about."

More Cybereason Endpoint Detection & Response pricing and cost advice

"The pricing is good, and it is not very expensive."

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

"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."

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

"It is more reasonably priced than other vendors."

"Rapid7 InsightIDR charges us based on the endpoints we connect to."

"The team is very willing to work with companies. My suggestion is to call the Rapid7 sales department and see how they can help."
