Rapid7 InsightCloudSec already provides us real-time feedback loops, but if it also provides real-time feedback to the developers, then it would help the application shift left, meaning the security will shift left as well.
Site Reliability Engineer at a comms service provider with 501-1,000 employees
Rapid7 InsightCloudSec needs improvements such as AI-driven risk prioritization, proactive cloud risk modeling, advanced IAM privilege analysis, multi-cloud attack path mapping, pre-built automated hardening, defining stronger policy as code support, better container and serverless coverage, and cost optimization insight along with safe auto-remediation with rollback improvements.
Cybersecurity analyst at Cornerstone OnDemand
If you can improve the traditional detection rules to reflect current detection rules, it would make it significantly easier for us to manage, as we constantly need to check legacy rules to update or possibly turn them off. Updating the legacy rules should be a priority.

Setup Cost

SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security offers flexible pricing and licensing, being cost-effective for some but expensive for smaller businesses.
FortiCNAPP is costly but competitive, improving in affordability and flexibility, especially for early adopters despite high fees.
Rapid7 InsightCloudSec offers competitive, cost-efficient cloud security management with reasonable pricing, seamless licensing, and straightforward setup.
With very little negotiation involved, we just let them know what we could pay and they were willing to meet us at slightly above what we paid with Sophos, which was still very fair for what we were looking at.
IT Support Specialist at a non-tech company with 201-500 employees
If you want to buy just EDR, the price is less. XDR is a little bit more expensive.
IT Security Specialist at Tailor Security Tech
It should not be based on subscription. It should be based on the number of servers that I am scanning.

The pricing is a mediator compared to other products; it is not that much higher and not much lower than other products, making it a very affordable price.
Owner at IT CARE
It is cheaper.
Senior Cloud Security Engineer at a educational organization with 10,001+ employees
The more numbers you have, the less costly the product becomes, as licensing operates on volume.
Junior systems engineer at a tech services company with 11-50 employees
While it was not overly expensive, I do wish for more discounts for bulk purchases since we have implemented it widely across our cloud security posture.

Sreeraj Mohandas - PeerSpot reviewer
Security Engineer at HashXpert
Consolidated cloud security has reduced manual work and has automated vulnerability remediation
I elaborate on my rating of SentinelOne support by mentioning that there was some time where the troubleshooting took a longer time. In fact, there were many meetings going on. The availability of the document on the internet is on a lesser side because as an engineer, I would want to know about the troubleshooting aspects of this particular tool. When I am facing a customer, I do not prefer to bring the vendor to every call and try to resolve it, as it takes months and months. It would be better to have a training session with the engineer on site to explain and train properly. This is not the case with SentinelOne, so this is the only thing I have a complaint about. I do not have any other room for improvement to suggest within SentinelOne itself. However, I would really want the AI assistant for the threat hunting part to be more accessible. They have it, but they are making it licensed, so it is a bit on the higher end.
Mark Freeborough - PeerSpot reviewer
Client Manager at MLL Telecom Ltd
Network segmentation has strengthened access control and now streamlines automated threat response
The most valuable features in FortiCNAPP include robust network segmentation and restricting access to network assets. It also supports security measures by leveraging security fabrics for better enforcement and policy enforcement. FortiCNAPP integrates with SIEM solutions, and we offer different SIEM options that work with Fortinet and AlienVault, among others, providing multiple scenarios.FortiCNAPP's automated policy recommendations significantly help improve security measures as part of an overall service wrap. When deploying a Fortinet SD-WAN or network, these tools provide greater visibility to vulnerabilities and enhanced security on the network. It functions as a proactive tool, enabling me to identify threats quickly and automate responses.
Arun Babu - PeerSpot reviewer
SOC analyst at a media company with 1,001-5,000 employees
Daily endpoint monitoring has improved investigations and saved time but detection rules still need tuning
It is important to note that Rapid7 InsightCloudSec's features are not 100% precise, but I find about 70% of the time it is satisfactory. I would like to suggest that you improve it to be more precise, ideally making it 100% if possible. Some cases in Rapid7 InsightCloudSec indicate that the log is not enough, as they mostly just generate alerts, and the synchronization between data connectors is often problematic, particularly in terms of not being in sync always, especially between the AD and Rapid7 alerts, which generates numerous false positives. Additionally, the traditional rules should be updated, as this is a main point worth mentioning since we spend a lot of time fine-tuning these traditional rules. I suggest improving the legacy detection rules. If there are any authentication cases, such as impossible travel activity where a user has their SharePoint hosted in a different location, Rapid7 can often trigger alerts, creating confusion as we cannot fine-tune it properly. Another issue is with honeypot access. We sometimes lack necessary logs because Defender's advanced threat protection scanning gets detected as honeypot activity by Rapid7, leading to annoying and noisy alerts that we need to constantly close. If you can improve the traditional detection rules to reflect current detection rules, it would make it significantly easier for us to manage, as we constantly need to check legacy rules to update or possibly turn them off. Updating the legacy rules should be a priority.
