Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between Vigilbase and Rapid7?
Rapid7 brings your data into its SIEM and can run detection and response for you through MDR. Vigilbase is the operating system across the security tools you already pay for: every connected tool feeds one auditable record, each team gets dashboards, and the Vigil agent investigates within the authority you set.Get started with the Vigilbase PlatformWhat a SIEM does
What does “cybersecurity operating system” mean?
It is the layer that runs across your security tools rather than another tool beside them. Vigilbase connects the products you already pay for, puts their events in one auditable record, gives each team dashboards over that record, and has the Vigil agent investigate and act within the authority you set.Get started with the Vigilbase PlatformSupported integrations and operating scope
Can Vigilbase replace Rapid7?
Only after the required workflow has been validated. Compare supported sources, available actions, response ownership, and any features you still need from your current products. A platform comparison is not a promise of feature parity.Supported integrations and operating scopeFind, fix and verify in practice
How does pricing compare?
Compare written quotes for the same connected systems, data volume, retention, operating responsibilities, and response authority. Cloudflare Enterprise licensing and Managed Cloudflare have their own agreed scope. We do not claim a universal savings percentage or bundled coverage.Get started with the Vigilbase PlatformChoose who operates Cloudflare
Does Vigilbase have a native Rapid7 connector?
We do not advertise a native Rapid7 connector in the current available provider catalogue. Custom HTTP Event Collector connections can receive logs, but log ingestion does not imply native analysis or supported response actions.
