The solution is a consistent logging platform that provides excellent query mechanisms

We can query a lot of data points and build dashboards. The vendor is good at adjusting their models. Most companies want us to forecast our yearly use and pay it upfront on day one. With Logz.io, we commit to use 14 TB in a year. However, they measure us every month and give us a monthly bill. Depending on our monthly usage, we pay for 14 TB divided by 12 months or a little extra. It's a little bit more like AWS. Other solutions do not do it. They want their money upfront. We really like the dashboards. We have 36 sub-accounts. Each sub-account is an app, and we could put restrictions on that app. Previously, there were capacity restrictions on the sub-accounts. If we have a sub-account of 1 TB and use only 100 GB, we waste 900 GB that day. We could not share it between sub-accounts. Now, they provide an overhead volume. We do a reserve, and any sub-account could use anything over the reserve. It utilizes our footprint better.

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 use the tool to track the dev and production environment."

"The query mechanism for response codes and application health is valuable."

"InsightOne is the main reason why we use LogMeIn. This is mostly because of log data that we are pushing tools and logs in general."

"The other nice thing about Logz.io is their team. When it comes to onboarding, their support is incredibly proactive. They bring the brand experience from a customer services perspective because their team is always there to help you refine filters and tweak dashboards. That is really a useful thing to have. Their engagement is really supportive."

"The visualizations in Kibana are the most valuable feature. It's much more convenient to have a visualization of logs. We can see status really clearly and very fast, with just a couple of clicks."

"The tool is simple to setup where it is just plug and play. The tool is reliable and we never had any performance issues."

"We use the product for log collection and monitoring."

"It is massively useful and great for testing. We can just go, find logs, and attach them easily. It has a very quick lookup. Whereas, before we would have to go, dig around, and find the server that the logs were connected to, then go to the server, download the log, and attach it. Now, we can just go straight to this solution, type in the log ID and server ID, and obtain the information that we want."

"I have seen that Rapid7 InsightIDR provides security to the networks and endpoints in the company."

"The product works well. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."

"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."

"The platform offers unlimited storage and agent-based solutions."

"The solution's initial setup is easy."

"Simple configuration and automatically syncs to the cloud platform."

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

More Rapid7 InsightIDR pros

Cons

"I would like granularity on alerting so we can get tentative alerts and major alerts, then break it down between the two."

"The solution needs to expand its access control and make it accessible through API."

"The solution needs to improve its data retention. It should be greater than seven days. The product needs to improve its documentation as well."

"The price can be cheaper and they should have better monitoring."

"I would like them to improve how they manage releases. Some of our integrations integrate specifically with set versions. Logz.io occasionally releases an update that might break that integration. On one occasion, we found out a little bit too late, then we had to roll it back."

"The product needs improvement from a filtering perspective."

"When it comes to reducing our troubleshooting time, it depends. When there are no bugs in Logz.io, it reduces troubleshooting by 5 to 10 percent. When there are bugs, it increases our troubleshooting time by 200 percent or more."

"Capacity planning could be a little bit of a struggle."

"The ability to tune the collector for custom logs would greatly help."

"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."

"Lacks a mobile application."

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

"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."

"The searching feature in Rapid7 InsightIDR needs to evolve"

"The APIs can be further improved in Rapid7."

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"At the time it was set up, we thought Logz.io was very reasonable for what we were getting in terms of how much time and hosting costs it was saving us, because you don't have to run the servers for it anymore."

"The tool is an open source product."

"The product is a little expensive."

"The product's pricing is cheaper than other solutions."

"You pay for what you need, and that is a good model. They are also quite happy to talk to you about your uses and your use case. They will even go as far as suggesting things that you don't need to do in order to save you money. At one point, I was quite surprised at how cheap it could be if we wanted it to be or how much they would help us manage our costs."

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

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

"Accurately predict your licensing counts as this is a subscription based product."

"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."

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

"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."

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

"I am sure that there are cheaper products out there, but none that meet so many of our needs whilst maintaining stability and usability."
