Cons
Exabeam
  • More and better drop-down menus, some items in threat hunter require you know subsets.
  • Less dashboards, combine AA and DL without having separate logins.
  • More complete playbooks are already built out. You have the structure set up for templates like malware and phishing, go further and completely build them out from start to finish, most companies would just use them and not personalize their configurations.
  • Quarterly health checkup diagnostics of systems sent out to users.

  • Sometimes Rapid7 InsightIDR will be too locked down and without knowing will block applications and processes needed for day to day operation.
  • System scans with Rapid7 InsightIDR can be very bandwidth-heavy on the network and system resources.
  • From a recent incident, we have seen more and more false positives from Rapid7 InsightIDR on areas that we know are secure.

We tried other solutions, but our Network, which is mostly in different locations with different OEMS , was well suited by Rapid7. Rapid7 works with different workflows and SIEM solutions, which was a requirement of the SOC solution. Visibility allows the security operation to expose the source of threats through the deployment of decoys and lures and thus to give more details of adversaries.
