Featured Reviews

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.
Abdullah Al Hadi - PeerSpot reviewer
Customization capabilities allow clients to autonomously deploy policies
There are a few areas where Trellix Endpoint Security can improve. Firstly, the high CPU utilization when agents are installed can negatively impact client systems. Another issue is with end-users outside the network, where the agent handler sometimes fails to deploy the product properly. Improvements are needed in forensic analytics to detect specific vulnerabilities. It would also help if detection specifics were identified more quickly and the problem-solving process accelerated, especially to meet larger clients' expectations.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"​​User behavioral analytics allows us to pinpoint abnormal or suspicious behavior among millions of events every day."
"I definitely recommend Rapid7 InsightIDR."
"Rapid7 is easy to use and deploy. It is a simple solution and has easy data pulling."
"InsightIDR has allowed us to find potential security issues that we did not know existed, and get remediation quickly."
"Log search allows us to dive deep into aggregated logs and query all event types at once.​"
"Features for user behavior analytics and the rules for attack review are good."
"Very intuitive and easy to set up."
"The solution is very scalable in terms of the licensing model."
"The most valuable network security feature is the network sandbox solution. This sandbox feature works on traffic flow."
"Trellix Endpoint Security seems to do a good job in terms of protecting my infrastructure from malware."
"Their malware detection rate is excellent for all type of devices and the anti-theft products are good and easy to use."
"I have not faced any problems with scalability so far, but we are starting an upgrade or overhaul."
"The installation phase of the solution was very easy."
"I recommend Trellix Endpoint Security to others as it seems like one of the industry standards and is fairly stable."
"The reporting capabilities are a valuable feature. In enables more visibility on our network."
"My total rating for Trellix Endpoint Security (ENS) is a ten out of ten."
 

Cons

"The solution's XDR agents cannot compete with the XDR solutions out there yet."
"InsightIDR's integration with other solutions could be improved. Also, I'd like more control from the portal over what's happening on the endpoint side. For example, when I see an attack on an endpoint, I want to be able to stop it from the portal."
"Sometimes, it is hard to get the right queries to use. Currently, the tool lacks a pre-made set of queries."
"Lacks a mobile application."
"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."
"The dashboard is an area that could be simplified."
"I feel it would greatly benefit from more supported log sources."
"The product allows us to make only 30 custom rules."
"McAfee Endpoint Protection could improve the word control feature."
"The management console is a little bit difficult to understand for admins. You need a lot of time in order to become familiar with that. It is a little bit complicated and not too easy to understand. Its price can also be improved. Its price is higher than its competitors. McAfee also needs to have better cloud integration and more data centers in the EU. The cloud center should be in Europe or in Germany. In Germany, it is really important to have access to your data within the same country. Customer data needs to be placed and processed in the same country."
"Users can just install software into their computers. We need some sort of application control system that, if there are any pieces of software that are not whitelisted, then the solution could flag it or maybe alert the administers. That would be very helpful."
"The solution needs to work on memory consumption. It is too high."
"They have something called Managed Detection and Response. They get intel from their customers, and that intel is shared with the rest of FireEye's customers. I want to subscribe to their intel, but that is not available to us."
"I think it would be nice if Dynamic Application Control would come together with McAfee Endpoint Security."
"The customization capabilities of the solution are an area where it lacks, so it would be great if our company could customize the solution to meet the demands of our customers."
"The vendor should simplify the way they bundle the products because it's very hard to explain to customers what products contain which features."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is good, and it is not very expensive."
"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."
"I rate Rapid7 InsightIDR's price a four on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"​Accurately predict your licensing counts as this is a subscription based product.​"
"The solution has a mid-range price point in the market"
"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."
"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."
"Compared to Bitdefender, Trellix Endpoint Security is more expensive, but considering it comes with DLP, the solution's price is fine."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"The pricing is mid-ranged and quite reasonable compared to other similar products."
"Its price is very high. It is higher than its competitors, and it should be less."
"Trellix Endpoint Security is an inexpensive platform."
"We are on an annual subscription for McAfee MVISION Endpoint. The cost for the license could be less expensive."
"The license costs are very reasonable, around 1,000 to 1,200 rupees per year."
"I don't think there are any extra expenses besides its licensing costs."
