Overview
Rapid7 Incident Command is the detection and response product that Rapid7 previously sold as InsightIDR; the InsightIDR product address now presents Incident Command[16]. It packages SIEM detection, triage, investigation and reporting with cyber asset attack surface management (CAASM), external attack surface management (EASM), SOAR automation and AI-powered features, and Rapid7 describes it as combining total attack-surface context with AI that turns signals into action[16].
Unlike most SIEMs in this list, Rapid7 prices by asset rather than by data volume. It sells three packages, Incident Command Essential, Advanced and Ultimate, all with 13 months of searchable retention and the option to add more[16]. Asset-based pricing makes budgets easier to predict for organisations that generate large log volumes from a modest number of endpoints and users. Rapid7 also offers managed detection and response services on the same technology.
Rapid7 reported revenue of US$0.86 billion for 2025, the smallest of the publicly listed vendors here[25]. The product is aimed at mid-market security teams; very large enterprises with complex custom detection engineering requirements more often choose the larger platforms above.
