What differentiates Rapid7 InsightIDR from other similar products?

Perhaps, the most important advantage of InsightIDR over other products on the market is the solution’s simplicity and friendly interface. It does not require technical knowledge in cybersecurity to be able to exploit the full features of the tool and therefore useful to small, medium and large businesses.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

If I have to pick one thing that I love so much about InsightIDR it is the fact that I can easily link it with other security tools and can have a holistic view of what is really happening at my company.

What do you dislike most about this product?

In what I personally dislike, I can’t really point my finger at any flaw of InsightIDR that I faced so far. Of course, one more area that can be HttpServlet enhanced would be the level of customizations for the reports and alerts though for now I remain rather satisfied with its performance.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Consequently, I would wish to encourage any company in need of an effective and reliable means of combating cyber threats to consider acquiring the Rapid7 InsightIDR. Due to simplicity of operation, identification of threats, ability to respond, and compatibility with other tools, it is one of the best for protecting information.
