Featured Reviews

Sheikh Abu Ayub Azad - PeerSpot reviewer
Great at managing cyber incidents; the technical support could be improved
The initial setup is easy, partly because LogRhythm is primarily based on the Windows platform. It's good to have two engineers for deployment but it can be done with one. It's more about the knowledge. Deployment is typically done in two or three different phases. It usually takes up to three full months to get good deployment. There's the initial onboarding of all the log sources, then collecting data in the data lake, followed a couple of weeks later with some minor tuning before the final tuneup.
Asim Naeem - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"LogRhythm UEBA’s best feature is the dashboard. It provides several graphs, charts, and event logs."
"The tool's most valuable feature is server threat hunting."
"The solution's most valuable features are the graphical user interface and the reporting."
"What I like most about LogRhythm UEBA is that it allows you to identify and analyze end-user behaviors and suspicious activities within the systems."
"The most valuable features are file activity monitoring and registry activity monitoring."
"The solution is useful for privilege accounts and super admin accounts. It is beneficial from a security perspective. The tool uses machine learning rather than threshold-based alerts. For instance, it can detect unusual user logins, such as a user logging in from a new browser or location."
"Good capability pinpointing specific cyber incidents."
"It is easy to monitor users and that is how the solution is adding value to our firm."
"Features for user behavior analytics and the rules for attack review are good."
"Enables the use of honey pots, honey users, and honey files to monitor for suspicious patterns."
"I rate Rapid7 nine out of 10 for affordability"
"We were able to identify criminals attempting to login from China and put a stop on their IP locations."
"During simulations or demonstrations, the tool generates alerts, providing details such as the specific application, its origin, and potential threats. For instance, it can identify if an application belongs to a known ransomware group. The system rates the threat, offering a clear detection ratio, such as 97 out of 100. It not only identifies threats but also illustrates the associated behaviors, helping us understand the potential risk to a particular endpoint."
"Integration with threat modeling from the Metasploit and InsightIDR repositories."
"Great coverage of all systems within our network from endpoint to firewall."
"I am able to run automated actions based on the output of reports, leaving me extra time to focus on more pressing matters."
 

Cons

"The search feature needs to be improved."
"What needs improvement in LogRhythm UEBA is the pricing. Here in Asia, for example, in Sri Lanka, pricing is the primary concern, and this is the only area for improvement I see in the product."
"In general, if something needs to be improved in the algorithm, it would be the dashboards."
"It would be helpful if there were more guidance provided for integrating with unsupported devices."
"It should have better mitigation with other solutions and be tightly integrated with other solutions. It has to be improved."
"The product should improve its dashboards. Splunk has neat dashboards. Additionally, we would like to enhance the use cases provided by LogRhythm as its use case library is not as extensive as other tools. Its machine-learning capabilities need to improve when compared to other solutions. It lacks risk quantification in a single, transparent view for individuals such as CSOs."
"The UI could be improved a little bit."
"The cloud version is lacking and not up to par."
"The dashboard is an area that could be simplified."
"Inability to get access to compliance reports within the solution."
"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."
"The product allows us to make only 30 custom rules."
"Cloud risk assessment is one area where I think they need a lot of improvement."
"Tenable Nessus is easier to deal with. It's more efficient and accurate. InsightIDR is heavier than Tenable in terms of performance and scanning. Rapid7 would be much easier to use if it had a network connector like Tenable. Tenable's connector allows continuous monitoring over the B caps."
"Rapid7 doesn't integrate well with all our security tools from various vendors, so we plan to switch. Many of our solutions work with Rapid7, but some do not. We are already searching for a replacement already."
"Customised alert recipients need to be added to allow better first-line action and quicker response. Configurable honeypots would be a welcome addition."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"As LogRhythm UEBA is pretty expensive, I'd give its pricing a seven out of ten."
"It is quite a budget-friendly product."
"Licensing is on a yearly basis. It's not expensive compared to its competitors."
"LogRhythm UEBA's pricing is affordable for small and medium businesses."
"The pricing is nice when compared to other products in the industry."
"I rate the product's pricing a three out of ten. However, the cloud version is expensive. You need to hire professional services for deployment and migrations, which can be expensive."
"It is a reasonably priced solution."
"​I am sure that there are cheaper products out there, but none that meet so many of our needs whilst maintaining stability and usability.​"
"It is more reasonably priced than other vendors."
"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."
"​Accurately predict your licensing counts as this is a subscription based product.​"
"The pricing and licensing are competitive."
"The pricing of the solution depends on the user. But there is a yearly licensing cost."
"It is on a yearly basis. For our own company, for about 250 users, it was 16,000 euros a year."
