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."The product is scalable."
"One of the most valuable features is it's graphical dashboard feature. It is quite easy to manage the widgets, and we can customize those according to our queries."
"Rapid7 InsightVM has given us a practical view of the vulnerabilities present in our organization."
"InsightVM's most valuable feature is risk scoring, a formula based on different vectors like the ease of exploitation and the availability of the machine."
"We are very satisfied with the reports, as they provide us with the information that is required for our management."
"The solution is good because it has a lot of options."
"The most valuable feature for us is the different types of reporting it provides."
"It is a stable solution."
"Aside from Firewall Assurance, we are using Network Assurance and Change Manager for an overview of the whole network and for documenting requests and the recertification of the ruleset."
"The ability to appropriately prioritize vulnerabilities inside the environment, and then to have visibility into the traffic and rule sets of an organization, are two of the top capabilities that I recommend. Skybox is the only one that does both of those in a single platform."
"I think that compliance checks and policy compliance are the product's good features."
"The solution offers very nice dashboards and they've recently added a very good Java-based web interface."
"The most valuable feature is firewall management."
"The most valuable features of Skybox Security Suite are all the modules that are provided, such as vulnerability assessments and network, and firewall assessments."
"The way that it's built with three-tier architecture, it makes it very horizontally scalable, so I can have multiple fallbacks. If one machine does fall offline, there are four other machines that are doing the exact same job to pick it up"
"The most impressive feature is optimization and clean-up."
"This solution creates false-positives which can cause issues with reporting."
"One area I would like to improve in InsightVM is its integration with other solutions."
"The InsightVM cannot scan if we connect to our customer by the VPN."
"There have been instances where technical support takes a long time to update the status of a ticket, which is something that can be improved."
"Rapid7 could be easier to manage."
"InsightVM could be improved by providing passive scanning as an option."
"All products have room for increased security and Rapid7 InsightVM is no exception."
"Reporting could be expanded."
"The most recent update was not tested with all of the vendors before it was released, so some of the features are misbehaving."
"The price could be cheaper."
"The primary room for improvement would be to enable a web interface, which is not something which is there in the product. This is supposed to have come a year, a year and a half ago, but still has failed to come out. It still needs a client application to be installed on a workstation to be able to access that server and then run these reports. So I cannot extend that access to anybody. It has to be one administrator all the time. So unlike a web interface, where you can give multiple users simultaneous access and generate the various reports, that isn't a possibility at the moment."
"The solution does not support certain devices or vendors in some regions or countries due to regulations."
"Reporting. A lot of the reports, out of the box, are limited to a certain number of either configuration violations or access rule violations. So when you first set up a new firewall to be monitored by Skybox, you don't get a real full report. You have to really tweak it to get everything."
"I've had issues with licensing where, when they were expiring and I asked for the updated licenses, I would the wrong ones. I think their process needs to be straightened out a little bit - I don't know if they fixed it already, it has been awhile. It wasn't as straightforward as it could have been."
"There are multiple dashboards but no custom dashboard. It would be good to include a custom dashboard so that we can actually choose which field and what kinds of things we want to look at."
"There is room for improvement in the technical support."
