What do you like best about InsightIDR?

I love how easy it is to navigate and find what I need while at the same time being feature-rich with great depth. InsightIDR is my single pane of glass for all my security needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about InsightIDR?

There's a steep learning curve to get the most out of InsightIDR. It took me quite a while to get acclimated to the workflow but our organization is on the other of that now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about InsightIDR?

InsightIDR is easy to provision (SaaS plus an on-prem collector) and comes with a good mix of features and alerts configured by default. Setup is easy for different event sources, including AD, LDAP, DNS, endpoint agents, and some SaaS applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about InsightIDR?

The reporting and dashboards are a bit limited. It would be great if the dashboards had better drill-down functionality similar to what you can find in other SIEM / UEBA products. Some of the menu pop-out functionality is a bit clunky when limiting dashboards and reports to only include data from specific event sources. There is a learning curve associated with building new dashboards. The most useful of which require familiarity with Rapid7's proprietary query language. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering InsightIDR:

Identify what you want to monitor, and develop a rollout plan. Expect that you may have to deploy at least one collector per monitored domain, as collectors may fail to collect events across domains, even if those domains are trusted by the domain hosting the collector and its associated monitoring user account. Before deploying, you may also wish to ensure that the product can integrate adequately will all of your in-scope SaaS applications via API. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is InsightIDR solving and how is that benefiting you?

InsightIDR helps us to correlate logs across multiple event sources and multiple organizations. We use the product to detect anomalous activity and to investigate security incidents. We have also used the product to detect and thwart active password guessing attacks leveraged against cloud services. We expect the system to bring even more value as we deploy more functions - such as their network sensor (IDS) and deception technologies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
