ManageEngine NetFlow Analyzer vs. Rapid7 InsightIDR

If you need to monitor traffic, this is a good choice of application for the price. It does that very well. If you need to take a deep deep dive into the traffic, you will have to use something else but that is just standard with network troubleshooting... it takes multiple applications to get a complete picture... or a lot of money on 1 application. Beyond that, this application does what it is designed to do and does it very well. So to answer this question directly, this application is well suited for time when you need a high-level view of traffic and not suited well for times when you need to see more detailed information of what exactly is being sent.

Because the dashboard is visually appealing and offers a wide range of functionality and users can create tailored reports.

The support is always on point, fast, reliable, and their employees go above and beyond to help when we need it. I have yet to call them on any product we use and not get the issue resolved in a fast and timely manner. Also, they are also very pleasant while on the phone and/or in teh email chain. Overall I just couldn't ask for better.

Rapid7 InsightIDR was very easy to deploy in our environment to our endpoint devices. We like the scanning capabilities and the console we felt was very easy to use and can be easily caught up to our IT staff. Also during vulnerability scans, we felt that Rapid7 InsightIDR was able to detect more and any competitor out there.
