We performed a comparison between Rapid7 InsightVM and Skybox Security Suite based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Risk-Based Vulnerability Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I liked the dashboard on it. I could customize my dashboard with different widgets and different heat maps."
"The most valuable feature is the site scanning, where we can provide a complete subnet and what it is we need to scan on those devices."
"The cost is what is most valuable. Compared to the other products on the market, the cost is more palatable."
"The most valuable features of Rapid7 InsightVM are the accurate level of scanning and the workflows are good."
"InsightVM's best features are the vulnerability database and remediation steps."
"The most valuable feature for me is the risk calculation based on monthly effects."
"We are very satisfied with the reports, as they provide us with the information that is required for our management."
"The ease of deployment and configuration allows users to onboard quickly."
"It's given us more visibility in terms of what are the kinds of configurations that are on these devices, and how many of these are stale rules. So it's helped greatly in terms of cleaning up of rules, for sure. And it has definitely given us a more secure way of backing up the configuration on these devices."
"It's very supportive and very user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature is firewall management."
"The port division management was the solution's most valuable aspect for our organization."
"Skybox deployment is simple, and it's very useful."
"It has a good policy management feature and can provide customers with good quality outputs."
"Correlates logs and threats and prioritizes; provides network maps;p provides change result context and resulting vulnerability."
"The most valuable features are Firewall Assurance and Vulnerability Control."
"The solution needs to improve its vulnerability design to include CVC results."
"There are certain limitations because of the product being used on a hybrid model. Rapid7 InsightVM doesn't offer a solution purely in the cloud."
"I would say that it improved our visibility, but it left things open."
"All products have room for increased security and Rapid7 InsightVM is no exception."
"There was functionality present previously, however, currently, we can't integrate directly with Jira Service Desk - only the cloud version."
"We found that after you passed an endpoint, it didn't always reflect it in the next scan. I'm not sure if it was a glitch or some issue with the product's software. That was never clear. That was always an issue and something that definitely needed improvement."
"Their customer support should be improved, and the effectiveness of scans also needs to be improved."
"The solution should include a tighter integration with third-party threat modeling and threat intelligence tools."
"The solution needs improvement in firewall configuration checks. I would also like to see more configuration checks for Forcepoint and for other non-supported firewalls."
"The initial setup with Skybox Security is hard. You need one or two strong security engineers on your team."
"The only place where Skybox has room for improvement, and they're working on releasing this, it's just a slow-go, is the UI. The user interface has historically been via a locally installed thick client. They are moving to a web-based console and it's slowly coming out."
"Change Manager can be improved. If they can improve Change Manager so that whatever we want to do on a firewall, we are able to do it through Change Manager, it will be helpful for us. Whenever we are doing a change, it only does them at an L3 and L4 level, but all the firewalls are at the application layer. So, whatever needs to be done on the firewall, we aren't able to get it done through Change Manager. Currently, this functionality is not there because of which we are sometimes losing customers. I can create a role on Layer 3, Layer 4, but when it comes to the application layer, such as configuring and defining URLs or other things at the application level, it can't be done through Change Manager. Customers demand that they should be able to do everything through Change Manager. They don't want to do it through some other mechanism to accomplish their complete change management policy. They don't want to use a firewall manager because sometimes, they don't have any manager. They ask if they can use our solution so that a manager is not required. If Change Manager can do all the management automatically without involving any other manager, it will be great. They can also provide better integration with other managers so that everything can be done through a central point."
"It's expensive."
"The price could be cheaper."
"Skybox Security Suite's attack surface management feature needs improvement."
"The most recent update was not tested with all of the vendors before it was released, so some of the features are misbehaving."
