SentinelOne Singularity XDR is better suited for organizations prioritizing real-time threat detection and automated response with strong endpoint protection. Rapid7 InsightVM is a strong option for organizations that require comprehensive vulnerability management, risk prioritization, and detailed reporting, but it lacks real-time threat protection.
| Attribute | SentinelOne Singularity XDR | Rapid7 InsightVM |
|---|---|---|
| Threat Detection Accuracy | Employs AI and machine learning to detect known and unknown threats, utilizing behavioral analysis to monitor system activities. It can detect stealth behavior, fileless attacks, and lateral movement. | Uses a real-time data analytics engine to assess vulnerabilities and assign severity scores, prioritizing risks based on real-world exploitability, business impact, attractiveness, and attacker behavior. Rapid7 AI Engine leverages high-fidelity risk and threat data and a combination of traditional ML and Generative AI models to enhance alert triage by accurately distinguishing between malicious and benign alerts. |
| Endpoint Protection Capabilities | Includes endpoint prevention (EPP) to stop malware, Trojans, hacking tools, and ransomware. Also features active EDR for real-time endpoint detection and response, even without cloud connectivity. | Provides endpoint assessment, allowing organizations to understand and manage the security of their devices by examining endpoint configurations and identifying vulnerabilities and non-compliance. It offers a lightweight endpoint agent for continuous data collection, gathering data even from difficult-to-scan assets. Lacks a real-time threat protection module. |
| Vulnerability Management Coverage | Provides risk prioritization around application and OS vulnerabilities. | Offers continuous scanning to discover vulnerabilities in on-premises and cloud environments. Combines asset visibility, dynamic risk assessment, and remediation tools. Supports both agent-based and agentless scanning and supports various operating systems, including Linux, Unix, Windows, and MacOS. |
| Incident Response Automation | Offers automated or one-click remediation and rollback. It can automatically isolate threats and remediate issues without manual intervention. | Offers automation and integration remediation strategies, integrating with ticketing and patch management tools. Automates incident timelines, potentially reducing manual effort and investigation times. InsightConnect from Rapid7 adds to security workflows through automation and orchestration, integrating with numerous security tools and systems. |
| Integration with Third-Party Tools | Integrates with SIEM and SOAR tools via the Singularity Marketplace. It also integrates with third-party feeds for threat intelligence. | Integrates with various security tools and platforms, including Rapid7 InsightIDR, InsightAppSec, and InsightConnect. Supports data exports, real-time alerts, and scripted API integrations. Integrations are available with tools like Slack, PagerDuty, and ServiceNow. |
| Scalability for Enterprise Environments | The Singularity Apps are hosted on a scalable serverless cloud platform. | Provides scalability, making it suitable for organizations of varying sizes. Cloud components are hosted in AWS, with on-demand increases in CPU, memory, storage, and networking capacity. Some sources mention limited scalability for very large enterprises, particularly in managing multiple scan jobs and asset tagging. |
| Ease of Deployment and Management | A user-friendly interface makes it easy for security teams to manage and handle security tasks. | Some reviews mention that the initial setup can be complex and require significant administrative effort and technical expertise. The user interface is generally considered intuitive and user-friendly. Highly configurable to meet specific customer requirements, allowing customization of dashboards, reports, scan schedules, and more. |
| Real-time Monitoring and Alerting | Provides real-time, automated machine-built context and correlation across the enterprise security stack. It automatically correlates related activity into unified alerts. | Offers continuous monitoring of IT environments, providing visibility into assets and threats. Live Dashboards offer dynamic, real-time visibility into the organization's risk landscape. The system provides real-time alerts and customizable alerts. |
| Reporting and Analytics Features | Offers an analytics-focused approach to security reporting. | Provides comprehensive reporting and analytics capabilities, including customizable reports and dashboards. Reports can be created in various formats, including PDF, RTF, Text, HTML, XML, and CSV. The platform offers live dashboards with real-time visibility into the risk landscape. |
| Support for Different Operating Systems | Supports Windows, Windows Legacy, macOS, Linux, Containers, VMs, and Mobile. | Supports various operating systems, including Linux, Unix, Windows, and MacOS. It is compatible with web browsers like Internet Explorer, Microsoft Edge, Firefox, and Chrome. |
| Machine Learning and AI Capabilities | Uses AI and machine learning for immediate detection and remediation. | Uses machine learning and AI to enhance threat detection, prioritize threats, and minimize response times. AI-driven CVSS scoring helps prioritize vulnerabilities based on real-world threat context. The Rapid7 AI Engine leverages a massive volume of high-fidelity risk and threat data to enhance alert triage. |
| Cost and Licensing Model | Subscription-based, cloud-centered threat defense stack. | Pricing is structured based on the number of assets being monitored, with volume-based discounts available. The pricing model starts at around $1.93 per asset per month when managing 500 assets, amounting to approximately $23.18 per asset annually. Enterprise deployments (5,000+ assets) can cost $100,000+ per year. |
| Real-time Threat Protection | Includes endpoint prevention (EPP) to stop malware, Trojans, hacking tools, and ransomware. Also features active EDR for real-time endpoint detection and response. | Lacks a real-time threat protection module. |
