Find out what your peers are saying about Splunk, Microsoft, Wazuh and others in Security Information and Event Management (SIEM)."I rate Rapid7 nine out of 10 for affordability"
"Simple configuration and automatically syncs to the cloud platform."
"The solution is easy to use, and the interface is intuitive."
"It is a very stable solution."
"User behavioral analytics allows us to pinpoint abnormal or suspicious behavior among millions of events every day."
"The biggest reason why we chose Rapid7 was to gain value in a really quick time. Its deployment doesn't take months. It just takes a few days."
"Enables the use of honey pots, honey users, and honey files to monitor for suspicious patterns."
"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."
"The most important aspect of the solution is that it rarely gives false positives, especially compared to other products. It provides very clear reports for our IT teams to look at."
"I liked the dashboard on it. I could customize my dashboard with different widgets and different heat maps."
"The assessment is most valuable."
"The product's initial setup phase was very easy."
"We are very satisfied with the reports, as they provide us with the information that is required for our management."
"Rapid7 have a good distribution network with good support and market presence."
"I really love the new platform. It is really easy to understand, use, and deploy."
"I like Rapid7's scan optimization options."
"The ability to tune the collector for custom logs would greatly help."
"It would be useful to import threat intelligence in YARA format along with known incorrect email addresses."
"The interface for doing investigation needs to be enhanced with minor improvements that would make it more useful."
"Lacks a mobile application."
"The main problem lies in the processes within the client's operating systems."
"The product allows us to make only 30 custom rules."
"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."
"It takes time for the product's support team to resolve issues, making it an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Within InsightVM, there is no feature to assign a ticket. If we can have more API calls, we can do that from InsightVM."
"I would say that it improved our visibility, but it left things open."
"The reporting has room for improvement. You cannot customize any report. If I need a specific requirement, I have to create a new report for it."
"It would be great to have a mobile application client. Currently, you have to use a mobile web browser on a device, but it is not similar to the desktop web browser in terms of user experience. It would be nice to have a mobile application to access the platform."
"The integration with other solutions like JIRA could be better. Perhaps there could be some additional updates in the next phase that could integrate with it, so then you can proceed with the VT much easier."
"Patch management is the only missing feature I can think of. Rapid7 detects vulnerabilities, but it should also help you manage patches."
"In order to be able to properly test the solution and make a decision, I would like to receive the test license code instantly and eliminate the wait time."
"It is still not a fully cloud-based solution. It will be helpful for customers if it is a complete cloud solution. It is a hybrid solution at the moment."
