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

"The solution is very stable and works very well for what I need it to do."

"Another very important part of insightIDR is the ability to collect data from endpoint devices via agent software. With a large remote workforce, this allows visibility into the endpoints that are connected to the internet, but not to the corporate network."

"The ability to ingest Office 365 log files, then process them into events and display them on a map."

"InsightIDR helps us investigate an environment to discover information about incidents."

"Features for user behavior analytics and the rules for attack review are good."

"The solution is very scalable in terms of the licensing model."

"The UI is very good."

"Very intuitive and easy to set up."

More Rapid7 InsightIDR pros

"There are multiple tools for information security. The solution includes all the latest advances on the network and host intrusion detection systems."

"Every activity on the firewall is recorded, and notifications are sent with this solution."

"The ease of implementation is the most valuable feature."

"The most valuable feature is threat intelligence."

"The main menu: You can see everything there, what is happening on the servers, and in the logs, you can view more details of each event."

"As we have to service several servers, we can manage them in a economical way, which is beneficial to our team and business."

"The AlienVault solution has enabled us to create a SOC on a budget with smaller than usual staff requirements, offering a wider range of solutions for our customers."

"The dashboards are very descriptive and contain just the right amount of information. The activity alarms and events contain a plethora of data that is very descriptive and useful."

More USM Anywhere pros

Cons

"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."

"Customised alert recipients need to be added to allow better first-line action and quicker response. Configurable honeypots would be a welcome addition."

"Rapid7 InsightIDR is not intuitive to search for logs. It should be more user-friendly and improve the dashboards. We should be able to use ready-made templates instead of having to build one."

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

"Currently, it lacks the functionalities provided by Rapid7's User Behavior Analytics (UBA)."

"There are certain limitations with Rapid7 that I am working on."

"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."

More Rapid7 InsightIDR cons

"AlienVault cannot automatically respond to threats like other SIEM solutions, such as Sentinel and LogRhythm. Most of our clients are far away, so it's often challenging to handle alerts when they come up on our dashboard."

"The AT&T AlienVault USM is okay, but the relational database is not very good for large amounts of data. For example, many logs cannot be processed. It has been very slow for the queries and some data which are large, it is not very good in this case."

"There could be some type of integration with our existing portal. We have our own customer portals, and it would be good if there was an integration so that our portal can provide reports. There could be some type of API into the AlienVault system with the USM system so that it is easy to show the customers high-level reports of the system through our portal."

"AlienVault must improve their correlation feature. Some of the events do not match with the correlation rules and some of the correlation events are false-positive."

"I feel that some areas of improvement would be vulnerability scanning. We use a separate product that seems to do a much better job."

"We develop additional rules and scripts to make it more usable."

"Pay attention to false-positive event automatic correlations."

"For creating new rules, you have to be familiar with regular expressions. I feel there could be something built-in to make sure that process is easier."

More USM Anywhere cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"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."

"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."

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

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

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

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

"It is a reasonably priced solution."

More Rapid7 InsightIDR pricing and cost advice

"Its price is in the medium to upper range."

"Do the one month trial and try to work out the kinks during it, as it has free support and service hours."

"Pricing is very competitive with other products and you get much more functionality from AlienVault."

"It's affordable for most customers."

"I don't think the product's pricing is a good value because they try to raise the price 50 percent every year... AlienVault needs to understand that not all customers are huge enterprises... Their sales team is way too aggressive. The price they advertise is not always the price you get."

"We checked out several competitors. For what it can do and the cost, it was the best option!"

"The price for this solution is very good, but since the features do not work the price is expensive."

"AT&T AlienVault USM is an expensive solution and we pay for the license and the support separately. We paid for the license and support for three years."
