“Overall great SIEM solution, with a few small integration issues to iron out.”

4.0
Jan 5, 2026
Overall the integrations for the SIEM solution are easy to set up and there are a number of integrations that can be made with other SaaS solutions as well as local syslog servers. Some dashboards come ready out of the box for use and others need to be created based on requirements.

CRITICAL

“Frequent Feature Segmentation Leads to Additional Costs for Existing Customers, Zero Flexibility”

1.0
Aug 28, 2025
Product is ok, but there can be an annoying pattern of new features being pulled out as separate, chargeable products, so you never get any real new features in the product you're paying for. Their service and support teams are almost comically mercenary - there is no notion of partnership or flexibility, even for very long term customers.

InsightIDR Likes & Dislikes

Like

There are a large number of detection rules that come out of the box and can just be enabled, provided you have the right log sources coming into the platform. The Mitre Att&ck framework is integrated with the platform and helps to assess tactics and techniques that may be being used. The community threats feature is also great as it provides some insight on what others across the industry are monitoring / assessing within their environments.

Like

Regularly updated intelligence means less time needed deciphering events

Like

Integration with other tools (especially Rapid7 products), UX is clear and easy to understand, Dashboarding capabilities improves insights at a glance

Dislike

We haven't been able to integrate Sophos properly yet with our SIEM solution, we bought the platform being advised we could, as a new app would be released soon, but this hasn't come out yet and so our existing integration with Sophos is in place, but via workarounds, which is less than ideal.

Dislike

Constant addition of adverts posing as new features

Dislike

Overall, there are very few downsides. One area that could be improved is the log search query language. While powerful, it can feel a bit overwhelming for new users, and other solutions offer a simpler syntax and ease of use.

    Data Collection and Dashboard Insights Stand Out in Rapid7 InsightIDR Platform

    5.0
    Sep 2, 2025
    Our experience with Rapid7 InsightIDR has been quite positive in general. The platform was easy to set up (especially with the help of the support team), clearly structured, and intuitive to navigate from the very beginning. The Rapid7 agents stand out compared to other solutions we have worked with, delivering reliable data collection not only for on premises but also for devices from remote workers. The seamless integration with other Rapid7 products makes it easy to manage security operations from a single ecosystem. We have not encountered any deal-breaker, and the solution has met our expectations in terms of performance and usability. Just the very own query language is sometimes a bit difficult to handle.

    A Very Effective Insider Threat Management Tool For Business

    5.0
    Feb 12, 2026
    InsightIDR offers great User Behavior Analytics features that easily differentiate between normal activities and anomalies such as unusual file transfers and authorized data access. The platform offers us a wide view of threats which makes it easy to detect compromised accounts, malicious actions, and negligence and this comes in handy when it comes to protecting data from insider threats.
