“Platform Capabilities Under Review: Evaluating Detection of Malicious Alerts”

3.0
Apr 23, 2025
Initially, when we deployed the product, the UBA rules were not available for tuning. While we appreciate that some rules have since been made available, others are still pending. Unfortunately, there's no clear coordination or communication when these rules changes or migrations occur, requiring us to manually monitor and track updates. This adds unnecessary overhead to our operations. Additionally, we've observed gaps in detecting certain malicious alerts, which raises concerns about the platform detection capabilities.

Rapid7 Managed Detection and Response Services Likes & Dislikes

Like

Great team with a caring attitude. Very insightful knowledge on the industry as a whole. Valuable data to bring back to leadership.

Like

The service provides strong visibility into our environment.

Like

Response times are insanely fast. Attack Surface Coverage (They have products to find every dark corner) Sales team truly understands our needs and doesn't oversell

Dislike

It does not completely cover a modern business. It's dependent on the agent or supported log sources. Just because it gets to the SIEM, does not mean you have MDR coverage. The service scope is limited to what the provider supports. You may still need an internal team to look at everything else. Compatibility with certain cloud technologies is still lacking, such as containers and runtime monitoring. MDR services do not offer an end-to-end solution. Detection is great, the response relies on other tooling.

Dislike

The SOC team closed incidents without providing sufficient explanation or context. This lack of transparency makes it difficult to understand the rationale behind their decisions and limits our ability to learn from and improve our own internal processes.

Dislike

Email protection, I hope R7 will work its way into Proofpoint's space as I can see a true benefit to the combined ecosystem working together.

    Rapid 7; a true partner.

    We moved to R7 strictly for the SEIM initially, but as we've used their toolset and worked with their MDR team, we've been impressed over and over by how well R7 handles issues and works with our IT team as partners and not just a vendor. They truly feel like an extension of our IT department.

    Smooth Threat Monitoring but Onboarding and Documentation Challenges Noted with Rapid7 MDR

    5.0
    Dec 1, 2025
    Rapid7's MDR service has provided strong visibility into threats across our environment. Their SIEM works off an "all you can eat" model so you don't have to worry about picking and choosing which event sources to ingest. The onboarding was a little rocky but other than that we are happy with the service.
