D3 Security vs. Rapid7 InsightConnect

D3 is clearly tailoring their approach to large organizations with a significant geographical footprint who are largely in need of a tool that provides robust analytics and activity graphing to analyze productivity and supervisory efficiency at the executive level. However, small to medium-sized organizations and those with narrow geographical footprints may find the investment vastly more expensive than the return. The implementation of minimum purchasing guidelines means that smaller departments will be forced into purchasing tools they have little to no use for, and medium-size departments will be paying a high price for features they do find helpful but could get elsewhere for a substantially lower price. Additionally, small to medium-sized users may find that D3's focus on large organizational level tools is less helpful than some smaller competitor's software which provides a number of capabilities with more operational relevance for environments like office buildings, college campuses, university police departments, and housing associations. Overall, I would recommend D3 to large organizations who have need of the advanced tools included in their more expensive modules. The lack of some smaller levels of customization, 1st line operational features, and the high-end user interface is less important at that level of implementation.

This is perfect for an IT department with minimal staff. Security is usually an afterthought in small IT departments. If you have a dedicated security team, then something like this could be replaced with something more complex. The features it comes with are aimed toward a team that doesn't monitor and change things all the time. It's more of a set it and let it handle the rest type.

In our opinion, Rapid7 InsightConnect was a better choice for our environment as we were able to roll it out efficiently. Also the monitoring tools and reporting were easier to use and read. CrowdStrike appeared to be harder to install from a client standpoint and also we felt that Rapid7 fit our budget a bit better for the value we getting.
