Best for security teams that want a SIEM and detection platform
Rapid7's SIEM, listed here as InsightIDR and now shown as Incident Command, is a detection platform for security teams. No SIEM prices are published, and it is not a consumer antivirus. The page read does not use the InsightIDR name.
Who Rapid7 InsightIDR is for
- Fits if you have a security team that wants a SIEM for detection
- Works for companies already buying other Rapid7 products
Who Rapid7 InsightIDR is not for
- Not for you if you want a virus scanner, since it is a SIEM
- Not for you if you want a published price, as the page offers a demo and a Compare Packages view
- Watch out: the page read calls it Incident Command Next-Gen SIEM, not InsightIDR
- Too light for a free try: no trial or free plan is on record
Why Rapid7 InsightIDR gets a 1.4
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- CValue for moneyNo price is published, so there is nothing to set against this category's $2.58 to $6.50 a month; the listing says it is by quote. Rapid7 publishes starting prices only for other products.
- FFree plan and trialNothing free on record: no free plan and no trial, and a demo request is not a trial. The page offers a demo.
- DFeaturesA SIEM and detection platform, not endpoint protection, so it needs endpoint products alongside it.
- CEase of useBusiness product with a console and agents to roll out; no store rating is on record and the listing shows setup work, so it sits at the ordinary grade.
- CPlatforms and integrationsOnly a web console is on record. Operating systems, phone apps and integrations are not listed.
What these grades rest on. Graded from this listing, whose facts were read from Rapid7's own pages on 13 November 2026. Not based on using the product, and shorter than our full reviews. How we review and grade.

Keep Rapid7 InsightIDR, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Rapid7 InsightIDR you would be making an engine that recognises new malware as it appears. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 54 of the 56 other antivirus apps grade higher.
What you could make
- Reports: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- An engine that recognises new malware as it appears.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. Rapid7 InsightIDR’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
