Providing comprehensive insight into alerts while working towards AI enhancement

  • February 06, 2025
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

I am using Rapid7 InsightIDR as an InsightIDR solution. This tool is integrated with other solutions like endpoint and NDR, and it correlates alerts, giving me a comprehensive picture of the alerts.

What is most valuable?

The platform offers unlimited storage and agent-based solutions. I have user behavior analytics (UBA) and MITRE ATT&CK as well. The user behavior analytics feature helps in enhancing the security posture by helping to identify user behaviors and engineering alerts based on them.

What needs improvement?

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. I have already opened a list of features with Rapid7, and they are working on it.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Rapid7 InsightIDR for about two years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

So far, I have not had any performance issues with Rapid7 InsightIDR. It is working well, and I have not faced any downtime in the last two years.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Every product has some limitations, and Rapid7 is no exception, yet it is working for me perfectly right now.

How are customer service and support?

I rate their technical team 8.5 out of ten, which is pretty good.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

Currently, I am not working with the LogRhythm solution. I have another SIEM solution in place. Previously, three years back, I was working with LogRhythm, however, now I do not.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup was straightforward, and I did not face any complexities during the setup of the IDR product.

What was our ROI?

The incident response time is good, and I can easily find or search any incident. I easily build the queries in Rapid7 and search my relevant logs or relevant investigation logs.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

I have EDR, XDR, NDR, TLP, and many other solutions like these.

What other advice do I have?

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.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Public Cloud

If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?

A cost-effective and stable solution but lacks an AI-driven capability

  • May 24, 2024
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What needs improvement?

The solution lacks an AI-driven capability. While other competitors emphasize AI as the most important feature.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Rapid7 InsightIDR as a distributor for seven years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The product's stability is high. I rate the solution’s stability an eight out of ten.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Due to its cloud-based nature and numerous agents, its scalability is high. This, combined with its on-premise environment, ensures rapid performance. It can handle several thousand. It is best suited for large-scale businesses.

How are customer service and support?

Support is slow. I'm not satisfied with the support so far.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Neutral

How was the initial setup?

Due to the product's complexity, the initial setup can be challenging. Additionally, setting up the product and training the customer can be quite demanding. Deploying the appliance or sensor on-premises can take up to twelve months.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The product pricing is very cheap.

What other advice do I have?

InsightIDR automates everything through InsightConnect in a seven-day cycle.

The product has improved significantly since its inception. However, based on feedback I've received from other products in the market, aside from InsightIDR.

It improved 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 combine it with InsightIDR, then it may become more compact. Maybe IBM was a bit larger. So, having MDR is the main key point for this product.

Overall, I rate the solution a four out of ten.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Public Cloud

Offers unconventional detection rules and native integration features

  • May 23, 2024
  • Review from a verified AWS customer

What is our primary use case?

Our company is a system integrator for Rapid7 InsightIDR. We use the latest SaaS version of the product. Rapid7 InsightIDR works as the foundation of the security operation center in our company. The solution is used in our organization for data ingesting for multiple security devices and solutions. Rapid7 InsightIDR provides insights and stability on the security aspects of the company. 

What is most valuable?

The unconventional detection rules of Rapid7 InsightIDR are quite beneficial. The solution provides satisfying native integration features. 

What needs improvement?

The searching feature in Rapid7 InsightIDR needs to evolve. For instance, when pursuing an incident handling task, extensive searching is required, and the solution's own query language can only be used. In situations similar to the aforementioned example, the solution becomes difficult to use. It would be interesting if the vendor could make the search feature like the Google search engine. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been working with Rapid7 InsightIDR for three years. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Overall, the solution is stable enough. I would rate the stability a nine out of ten. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The product's scalability seems good enough. In our company, we are able to manage a couple of thousand devices comfortably using only one single tenant.

Through our company, thousands of users are using the interface of Rapid7 InsightIDR to process data and check incidents. I have implemented data ingestion for couple of thousand devices that include virtual machines, switches, routers and firewalls.

For all the aforementioned devices we haven't faced any issues in our company. Rapid7 InsightIDR is used in our company, majorly for medium and enterprise grade customers, where some enterprises have more than 5000 employees and some less than that. 

How are customer service and support?

Our company mostly receives fast and suitable support from Rapid7 InsightIDR, but sometimes the response arrives quite slow. I would rate the technical support a seven out of ten. 

How would you rate customer service and support?

Neutral

How was the initial setup?

I would rate the initial setup a nine out of ten. It's quite straightforward to put the solution to work. Once Rapid7 InsightIDR activates the tenant, the deployment process becomes straightforward. In our company, we just download the agents and install them in the customers' virtual machines.

Following the aforementioned step, some integration with Azure Entra ID authentication services or on-prem authentication is required. Thus, some base integration is required for login data. For the final stage of deployment, as part of the company, we configure a couple of customizations for the detection rules to start ingesting data; the niche customizations can be performed easily for the use cases. 

In our company we have an engineering deployment team who are highly skilled in setup processes. For client companies with less than 500 devices, usually one full-time engineer is enough for the deployment. For clients with 500 devices, when we at our company use automation to deploy the agents, it takes only a couple of days to finish the deployment process. 

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The solution has a mid-range price point in the market. The licensing cost depends on the customer size and the negotiation on whether to add IVM. There are multiple add-ons to the base licensing fee, we use them only for specific customers of our organization. The additional licenses increase the pricing drastically, so we try to stick with the base license at our company. 

What other advice do I have?

At our company, along with Rapid7 InsightIDR we use multiple cloud providers like Azure, Google, Oracle and AWS infrastructure to ingest data. 

I would advise others to select a reliable system integrator to implement Rapid7 InsightIDR for the correct use cases or business needs. The solution is satisfying, but there are multiple other solutions in the market, and having a partner can help a customer explore all the options before adopting one. Overall, I would rate Rapid7 InsightIDR an eight out of ten.

Useful for security operations, threat response, and DFIR

  • March 04, 2024
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

We use the tool for deployment, incorporating both EDR and SIP management. It serves the purpose of event management, including log retrieval from endpoints, malware detection, and providing about system health. This includes assessing vulnerabilities and determining the level of risk the system is exposed to at specific points in time. Its dashboard is wonderful. 

We use Rapid InsightIDR for security operations, threat response, and DFIR. It also provides lab practices to individuals. 

What is most valuable?

During simulations or demonstrations, the tool generates alerts, providing details such as the specific application, its origin, and potential threats. For instance, it can identify if an application belongs to a known ransomware group.  The system rates the threat, offering a clear detection ratio, such as 97 out of 100. It not only identifies threats but also illustrates the associated behaviors, helping us understand the potential risk to a particular endpoint.

It provides user entity behavior analysis and a threat intelligence framework, combining SIEM and EDR for automation. My experience with user behavior analytics is positive and wonderful. It allows fetching logs, managing users, and overseeing endpoints. The capability to conduct investigations and import applications, along with configuring endpoints by collecting data, adds to its functionality. The platform offers a variety of features, including a dashboard for new alerts. This dashboard provides a quick overview of the number of users, endpoints, and noticeable behaviors. 

What needs improvement?

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. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using the product for more than three years. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I rate the product's stability a nine out of ten.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I rate the tool's scalability a nine out of ten. 

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is easy. It involves tasks such as data collection, onboarding, and downloading, making the process straightforward for clients. You can deploy it on mobile devices as well. It offers deployment options for iPhone users and Windows. 

What other advice do I have?

In one instance, we faced a threat from the DarkSide ransomware, known for its ability to execute without requiring administration privileges, including a privilege escalation part. This particular ransomware was embedded in an Excel file, and it didn't need any administrative privileges for execution. The hackers cleverly concealed the DarkSide ransomware within an Excel file. When an unsuspecting team member tried to open the file, an alert indicated the malicious nature of the Excel file.

The employee was unaware that the  Excel file contained a ransomware threat. As security personnel monitoring the endpoint received an alert, they immediately contacted the individual, notifying them about the presence of the DarkSide ransomware. The security team advised against opening the file and guiding the user to delete it.

I cannot compare Rapid7 InsightIDR with other tools directly because it has integrated both EDR and SIM. It combines these functionalities into an XDR platform, operating at a different level compared to other services. Additionally, the network analysis provided is wonderful.

The product is easy to use and easy to understand. It is lightweight. I rate it a nine out of ten.

I recommend it for easy deployment, enabling swift detection from endpoints to the cloud. This accelerates security orchestration across various environments and endpoints, aiding in risk mitigation within hybrid environments. The system is valuable for discovering new threats and offers exposure management to enhance understanding of the entire security operation.

Offers capabilities in areas like threat intelligence and vulnerability management but needs to improve support

  • February 15, 2024
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is most valuable?

The most valuable feature of the product for managing security events stems from the fact that the product's intelligence part is very good since it offers its own threat intelligence and vulnerability management platform. The tool also has its own cloud security posture management platform. The tool also is a dynamic application security testing platform. The aforementioned tools fall under Rapid7 InsightIDR's kitty. The intelligence and the data that Rapid7 gathers from customers across the globe enrich the quality of its detection capabilities. All other tools in the market depend on third-party solutions for intelligence. Rapid7 InsightIDr has the intelligence part natively available within the product, giving it a good edge over other vendors.


What needs improvement?

I believe that Rapid7 InsightIDR has moved to a complete cloud-first strategy. The tools offered by Rapid7 InsightIDR are amazing. The product should have provided some capabilities to users who wanted to stay or use the tool's on-premises version, as it would have provided the solution with more acceptance in the market, especially in the Middle East region.

It takes time for the product's support team to resolve issues, making it an area of concern where improvements are required.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Rapid7 InsightIDR for three to four years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

As I haven't heard any complaints about the product, I rate the solution's stability a nine out of ten.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten. As a cloud tool, the product is highly scalable.

The product is meant for medium-sized customers and large enterprises and not for corporate or government organizations since the product is available only on the cloud. Customers who have the privilege of using cloud solutions can use Rapid7 InsightIDR. Cloud solutions' use is less in government spaces in the Middle East region since there are some regulations to use cloud-based products. In the private space, I feel that Rapid7 InsightIDR is considered to be a fairly strong product.

It is difficult for enterprise businesses to use the solution, especially the ones regulated by governments. There are no problems with the solution when it comes to a private company or a private enterprise. I think Rapid7 InsightIDR provides the best tools. The tool won't work for you if you are not allowed to use a public cloud.

How are customer service and support?

I rate the technical support a six to seven out of ten.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Neutral

What other advice do I have?

The tool has improved the efficiency of security incident detection and response in our company as it works fairly well. It is possible to enhance the capabilities of the platform since the solution offers a whole stack or suite of tools. When dealing with Rapid7 InsightIDR, you will see the integration capabilities offered are extremely seamless. Rapid7 InsightIDR offers its own set of features that enrich the capabilities of the vulnerability management tool. In general, the product's features increase the solution's overall capabilities in terms of reporting and detection of vulnerabilities.

I can't remember a scenario where the product was effective in threat hunting or investigation. Rapid7 InsightIDR is a very acceptable product for people who want a cloud-based solution. The product is not available on an on-premises version. The product can be useful for industries ranging from SMBs to large-sized companies where there is a need for a tool that can be very easily rolled out at a very effective and attractive price point that gives them very good coverage from a cybersecurity perspective.

Speaking about how the product has enhanced the security posture in our company, I would say that I am not really sure about the capabilities of the UABA part of the solution since I haven't seen many use cases around it.

Rapid7 InsightIDR mean time-to-detect and mean time-to-respond are fairly good because Rapid7's support team does pick up a ticket whenever it is raised from the users' end, but its mean time-to-resolve has some concerns since some of the tools under Rapid7 are available on an on-premises model. In specific to InsightIDR, I think that everything is very good, including areas like detection, MTTD, and MTTR, which are very good in InsightIDR specifically. The product can improve a bit in the area of MTTD and MTTR.

Rapid7 InsightIDR's integration capabilities with other tools are not an area I have experience with since the product is completely available on the cloud. I believe that whatever integrations users want from the product would work since it is a solution that is available on the cloud. I don't have personal experience with the integration part.

I rate the overall tool a seven out of ten.

It’s a great tool. The solution helps us a lot in threat detection. It’s one of the most updated tools. The UI is very good. We can easily start using the tool and explore it. It also provides features like legacy UBA that other products do not provide. We can customize the rules from the default template in InsightIDR. UBA is a great feature.

When a new user is created in Active Directory, an investigation is created. We can use the default features to create an investigation. The solution has many advanced features and default templates that help protect from attacks without a user’s intervention. It is quite impressive.

What needs improvement?

The product allows us to make only 30 custom rules. The limit on custom rules must be changed.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been working with the product for two months.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We have deployed the solution in 28 offices. We are using the basic features for now.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is straightforward.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

We chose Rapid7 because of its price. IBM QRadar charges us based on data storage. Rapid7 InsightIDR charges us based on the endpoints we connect to. We are satisfied with the product’s price.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

I have used IBM QRadar, Splunk, and Sentinel. We use Splunk in our offices, too. Compared to other products, Rapid7 InsightIDR’s UI is very good. It is very easy to handle. We are working with the tool currently and are quite satisfied with it.

What other advice do I have?

Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

Robust monitoring for any situation

  • February 05, 2024
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Insight IDR provides a detailed look at any event that might occur in your environment. It's flexible enough to plug into just about any situation and has the ability to monitor a number of 3rd party sources giving you a single view into your entire environment without having to go to multiple dashboards.
What do you dislike about the product?
There can be a lot of overhead and some of the integrations and monitoring especially for Windows devices can be a little clunky. Additional collector servers will be needed to gather the logs and these can be costly if you're running them in the cloud.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Insight IDR provides us with the security tools we need to monitor and respond to events in our environment. Each alert includes a detailed reasoning for why it was generated in addition to remediation steps. It makes it easy to resolve issues and gives you the peace of mind knowing that everything is being monitored around the clock.

Rapid7 InsightIDR helps me detect any malicious activities in any endpoints in my company.

How has it helped my organization?

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

What is most valuable?

With Rapid7 InsightIDR, you must install the Insight Agent, after which you may get to see some of the risks affecting endpoints.

What needs improvement?

The integration capabilities of the solution have certain shortcomings where improvements are required.

If possible, it would be great to see AI embedded in all the functionalities offered by the product.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Rapid7 InsightIDR for four years. I use the solution's latest version since the version gets automatically updated as it is a cloud-based tool. I work as a distributor of the product.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Stability-wise, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It is a scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

How was the initial setup?

The time required to complete the product's installation phase depends on the number of endpoints that a user has in their environment. Insight Agent can be deployed in a couple of minutes.

Five engineers in my company take care of the deployment phase of Rapid7 InsightIDR.

The solution is deployed on the public cloud services offered by AWS.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

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.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

I did not evaluate any other options in the market against Rapid7 InsightIDR.

What other advice do I have?

I have never been involved with any maintenance process related to Rapid7 InsightIDR.

To those who plan to use the solution, I suggest that they undertake a training program to understand the product.

I rate the overall tool an eight out of ten.

A stable solution that works well for playbooks and viewing events

  • October 10, 2023
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

Normally, we use the solution as an event viewer to collect and resume cases and playbooks.

What needs improvement?

The main problem lies in the processes within the client's operating systems. XDR is superior to CMs. Observing how the processes function within the machine is essential if you are monitoring the client or servers, and not only the event with the first or second line but the third line is most important.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been familiar with the solution for six months.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is very stable and works very well for what I need it to do. The solution is completely different in an experienced environment and a real environment.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I have worked with Wazuh before, but only to try it. Wazuh is more or less the same as Rapid7 InsightIDR.

What other advice do I have?

I rate Rapid7 InsightIDR an eight out of ten.
