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.

Enhanced threat detection through superior sandboxing capabilities with competitive pricing

With Trend Micro Deep Discovery, our enterprise clients can identify forgotten or unmanaged network segments, thereby mitigating unexpected network actions such as outdated antivirus software operations. When under attack, such as with ransomware, it allows us to identify the attack vector and disable it. It also assists in security audits required to prove certain network security measures.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

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

"Great coverage of all systems within our network from endpoint to firewall."

More Rapid7 InsightIDR pros

"The performance and stability are great."

"The solution has extension-based features that help it to analyze the environment. The environment can have different platforms like Windows, Linux, and Mac. The tool will give a report which can confirm the analysis of the issues. You can also get clear information on threats or suspicious files."

"The reporting is very good, providing detailed analysis in a short amount of time."

"It is a very good solution. It is very light, and it is quite quick to figure out the problem in your network."

"The most valuable features are monitoring for advanced persistent threats, the system runs in a sandbox allowing for effective zero-day exploits management, and the Inspector has a built-in sandbox."

"Trend Micro Deep Discovery is a very specific product for threat intelligence with smart protection."

More Trend Micro Deep Discovery pros

Cons

"The product allows us to make only 30 custom rules."

"The solution needs improvement in threat intelligence. Increasing the depth of intelligence to help users understand more about threats is a possibility. My suggestion is to expand access to other websites or resources."

"Lacks a mobile application."

"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."

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

"Needs a better ability to customize the check within the console."

"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 main problem lies in the processes within the client's operating systems."

More Rapid7 InsightIDR cons

"I would like to see them create a rule where It could integrate with the network and start mitigating with auto-detection."

"The scalability is sometimes limited."

"The stability of the solution could be improved. It should be 100% stable, but it's not there right now."

"The solution could be more stable and offer more security."

"Deep Discovery is easy to manage, but there is still room for improvement on the administration and operations side. Competing products have a cleaner interface that makes it easier to manage their products. Trend Micro offers a lot of features in one product suite, but it can be unwieldy for the customer to manage all that with a single interface."

"The solution needs improvement in terms of pricing."

"The solution needs to be able to integrate better with third-party infrastructure."

"This solution could be improved with faster technical support and cheaper licensing prices."

More Trend Micro Deep Discovery cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"Rapid7 InsightIDR charges us based on the endpoints we connect to."

"I rate Rapid7 InsightIDR's price a four on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."

"Licensing is by endpoint and amount of retention time (at least ours is). Default retention was one year, but we are able to push the retention further if needed. There's also a provide-your-own-S3 option for longer retention if you don't want to pay for the additional retention years in your Rapid7 agreement."

"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."

"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 solution has a mid-range price point in the market"

More Rapid7 InsightIDR pricing and cost advice

"The tool’s licensing costs depend on the customers."

"The price of the solution is lower compared to the competition."

"Its price is fine, but Trend Micro can improve the pricing in general. It is a hardware solution. It is based on the number of nodes, and according to the number of nodes, clients decide which box they should acquire. They have to renew their license every year. It is subscription-based."

"Overall, the price is good."

"The pricing is okay for some, and sometimes, some people find it expensive."

"Overall, Trend Micro Deep Discovery has proven to be a reliable solution that enhances our security posture while minimizing operational disruptions."

"The tool's licensing costs are yearly. There are no additional costs associated with the product."

"Trend Micro Deep Discovery is quite expensive compared to other endpoint security products."
