TL;DR — Rapid7 InsightIDR is a solid cloud SIEM/XDR with per-asset pricing and bundled UEBA, EDR and deception. Two gaps matter for a regulated Indian enterprise: it is a product you still operate (the tool detects; your team investigates), and its data lives in Rapid7's cloud regions, not necessarily in India. If you want the detection and the analysts and in-country residency, a managed alternative fits.
Credit where due: InsightIDR's per-asset meter is more honest than the per-GB ingestion models it competes with, and bundling the Insight Agent, UEBA and deception into the price is genuinely convenient. The question for a CISO is not whether InsightIDR works — it is who runs it and where the data sits.
Gap 1: it's a product, not a SOC
Gap 2: cloud region and residency
InsightIDR is delivered from Rapid7's cloud. For organisations under RBI, SEBI CSCRF, IRDAI or the DPDP Rules 2025, where your security logs are stored and processed is a first-order compliance question, not a deployment detail.

Frequently asked questions
Does Ayati One replace the EDR that InsightIDR bundles?
Ayati One ingests and correlates endpoint telemetry (including from EDRs you already run) and adds asset telemetry — hardware/software inventory, patch state, vulnerabilities and a remote console — as a per-asset add-on.
How does per-asset INR compare to InsightIDR's per-asset USD?
Both meter per asset, which is sane. The differences are currency, predictability, that Ayati One includes the SOC team, and residency. Model your estate on the calculator.
Can we migrate without losing historical data or coverage?
We run a parallel pilot first and plan retention/hand-over explicitly. Talk to us about a scoped migration.
