Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
1.4
GPA, above 0 of the 56 other antivirus apps we grade
InsightIDR was Rapid7's detection and response product. The product page at the roster address now presents an AI-powered Next-Gen SIEM called Incident Command in Essentials, Advanced and Ultimate packages. It combines log and telemetry collection, alert triage, endpoint detection and response, and automated response playbooks.
To get you started, here are 7 things to know about Rapid7 InsightIDR, taken from its own pages and our grades.
The page read does not use the InsightIDR name.
- 1
Best for security teams that want a SIEM and detection platform
No SIEM prices are published, and it is not a consumer antivirus.
- 2
It runs on Web
Web.
- 3
Next-gen SIEM
Combines logs, telemetry and asset context from cloud, SaaS, endpoints and hybrid environments in one view.
- 4
AI alert triage
AI-driven behavioral detections and triage, with natural-language search across large volumes of records.
- 5
Endpoint detection and response
The Ultimate package adds XDR capabilities and embedded digital forensics in one agent, per the vendor.

A 1.4 GPA, above 0 of 56
That is against the other antivirus apps we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.

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.

The report card
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | No 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. |
| Free plan and trial | F | Nothing free on record: no free plan and no trial, and a demo request is not a trial. The page offers a demo. |
| Features | D | A SIEM and detection platform, not endpoint protection, so it needs endpoint products alongside it. |
| Ease of use | C | Business 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. |
| Platforms and integrations | C | Only a web console is on record. Operating systems, phone apps and integrations are not listed. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
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 it 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
Good to know
Good for
- Security operations teams replacing a legacy SIEM
- Organizations that want detection tied to exposure data
Worth knowing
- The page read does not use the name InsightIDR; the product appears there as Incident Command Next-Gen SIEM.
- No SIEM package prices are published; the page offers a demo and a Compare Packages view.
- Rapid7 publishes starting prices only for other products, such as InsightVM at $1.62 per asset per month.
- It is a SIEM and detection platform rather than a consumer antivirus.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
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.
