Rapid7 InsightConnect vs Resolve Onboarding and Offboarding Automation

Rapid7 InsightConnect is a security orchestration, automation, and response product for building workflows across technologies, people, and processes. It provides templates, a no-code builder, and visibility into workflow steps. Rapid7 lists more than 300 plugins with predefined actions and triggers. Example workflows include phishing investigations, disabling Active Directory users, vulnerability remediation, and incident response. Workflows can include manual tasks and require human authorization before automated actions proceed. Some run entirely in Insight Cloud; many need an Orchestrator server in the customer’s network or cloud environment. That server runs on a virtualized Ubuntu appliance or dedicated RHEL host, and plugins require Docker Community Edition. Listed platforms include API, Linux, self-hosted, and web, and Rapid7 supports the latest stable versions of Firefox and Chrome. A 30-day free trial is listed at free, but workflows in the listed toolkits require an InsightConnect license. The product is hybrid, and pricing is available on request.

Resolve Onboarding and Offboarding Automation coordinates employee lifecycle changes across HR, identity, and IT systems. Onboarding workflows can create accounts, assign entitlements, provision email, VPN, and SaaS applications, deliver software, and notify managers and new hires. Offboarding can disable accounts, revoke tokens, reclaim licenses, trigger device wipes or locks, archive mailboxes, and record actions. HRIS or identity-provider events can start workflows, with actions based on role, location, and department; manual submissions through RITA are also available. The workflow checks licensing, inventory, and access states, flags exceptions with diagnostics, and updates CMDB, ITSM, HRIS, and audit systems. Resolve names AD, Azure AD, and Okta for account creation. Its open integration framework connects custom or legacy tools through REST APIs, SNMP, SSH, TCP, SMTP, or SOAP. The paid product runs through API, self-hosted, and web deployments; pricing is on request.
