Featured Reviews

Prajwal Chougale - PeerSpot reviewer
SOC L2 Analyst at a tech services company with 51-200 employees
Centralized threat hunting has improved alert accuracy and simplifies incident investigations
I would say there are two areas for improvement: the reporting dashboard that provides insights or reports weekly or monthly lacks detailed information about how logs are being ingested. While the details are there, they could be more concise and easier to understand for any level of authority. The second area is alert tuning; compared to Microsoft Sentinel, Rapid7 InsightIDR provides fewer alerts with more static alert functionality and lacks dynamic alerting exposures. There could be improvements to learn from past alert activities for more dynamic alert configurations. These two areas are the main areas for improvement; everything else is good.

System Engineer at a consultancy with 11-50 employees
Centralized monitoring has improved threat detection speed and simplified alert investigations
It would be helpful if some alerts had cleaner, clearer explanations right away, such as suggesting next steps inside the alert, and fewer clicks to get from alert to raw event details would make the triage even faster. Integration could be more plug-and-play, and improving built-in guidance for new analysts would help cut the learning curve. Performance-wise, it is adequate for us, but easier bulk searches would make investigations smoother. It would be helpful for each alert to come with clear suggested next steps right inside the alert, so analysts do not have to guess or click around too much. Making integration more plug-and-play would smooth out setup for new data sources.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The UI is very good."
"It improves because several sensors are deployed within the on-premise environment. It can be very efficient if the customer implements and operates it effectively."
"If you were on other solutions, you would notice that they use agents from third-party, from open-source, from a native OS, or from other tools. Here, however, it is an agent from Rapid7 itself. This adds to the solution's overall capabilities."
"I have seen that Rapid7 InsightIDR provides security to the networks and endpoints in the company."
"Rapid7 InsightIDR has positively impacted my organization by capturing most logs and every minute detail, including endpoint logs, network logs, and any email-related logs if a malicious link has been clicked."
"I've used other products such as QRadar and other SIEM solutions and I find this solution is much more simplified and user-friendly."
"I like the tool's user analysis feature."
"The web interface is great — very useful and user-friendly."
"With the help of this tool, the response time to sophisticated threats has improved significantly, and it recently cuts the MTTR time using Purple AI by 40%."
"SentinelOne Singularity AI SIEM has improved our overall security posture and is reducing the workload on the SOC team."
"Overall, I would assess the overall security posture after implementing SentinelOne Singularity AI SIEM as significantly better."
"The combination of a clean dashboard and centralized logs is what makes everything faster and less stressful because it gives us confidence that we are not missing something important."
"I will strongly recommend this, because after SentinelOne Singularity AI SIEM we have reduced our engineering time to a certain degree as it has helped us to do investigations fast, we get actual alerts that matter and can prioritize them properly, and the monitoring capability is now completely in one single platform so we do not have to go here and there, which has given us good ROI in total."
"When they face attacks such as ransomware and are dissatisfied with their existing solutions, they switch to SentinelOne Singularity AI SIEM, which is quite good in detecting unknown threats, cleaning the system, and handling ransomware."
"The beauty of the integration is that it integrates very smoothly with third-party tools, so we do not need to think about the parsers, coding, depending on the codes, or the software developers."
"After using SentinelOne Singularity AI SIEM, it has reduced our incident response time by forty to fifty percent compared to other tools."
 

Cons

"It takes time for the product's support team to resolve issues, making it an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The searching feature in Rapid7 InsightIDR needs to evolve"
"The APIs can be further improved in Rapid7."
"Sometimes, it is hard to get the right queries to use. Currently, the tool lacks a pre-made set of queries."
"Personally, I feel it would greatly benefit from more supported log sources."
"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 dashboard is an area that could be simplified. For management, it should be clear and the files should be there."
"I'd like to see a mobile application included and some feature related to the generality of segregation for internal users that access the application."
"The AI-generated investigations can occasionally require manual validation for complex incidents."
"It is quite good, but the only downside is that it is costly."
"Customer support could be better because it is frequently transferred to various agents."
"What I dislike is that the dashboard is very old, so they do not have much capability to be honest."
"At the moment, I feel the pricing is a little bit on the higher side, but the tool is positioned in a place where risk is very high, and we do not want to take chances, so we are prepared to pay the premium."
"While it provides many built-in decorations and dashboards, creating highly customized decoration rules and reports can sometimes require additional efforts."
"SentinelOne Singularity AI SIEM is the best, but sometimes the dashboards are a little simple compared to other tools."
"SentinelOne Singularity AI SIEM is a strong platform, but there are a few areas where it could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing of the solution depends on the user. But there is a yearly licensing cost."
"Rapid7 InsightIDR is priced very well and is cost-effective."
"The team is very willing to work with companies. My suggestion is to call the Rapid7 sales department and see how they can help.​"
"Licensing is straightforward. If, for some reason, you don’t meet the minimum licensing requirements, there is a third-party managed service that can help."
"The pricing is good, and it is not very expensive."
"​I am sure that there are cheaper products out there, but none that meet so many of our needs whilst maintaining stability and usability.​"
"The pricing and licensing are competitive."
"It is on a yearly basis. For our own company, for about 250 users, it was 16,000 euros a year."
