"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.""The solution is open source and has many small targetted penetration tests that have been written by many people that are useful. You can choose different subjects for the test, such as Oracle databases or Apache servers.""I don't have any other tools like it, and I always use it when I'm doing a pen test. Metasploit is a great solution for penetration testing,""All of the features are great.""The most valuable features of the solution are the scripts, the modules, and the tools that the Rapid7 Metasploit framework has.""The most valuable feature for us is the support for testing Linux-based web server components.""The tool's most useful feature for penetration testing is its automation capabilities. With the professional edition, you can upload the results from Nessus in the Rapid7 Metasploit solution portal.""Technical support has been helpful and responsive."

Cons
"Almost all features are good, however, they still require improvements to the code security portion on which integration with the major source code repository is required.""It should capture more information in metadata including communication detail. Also, Internal IP addresses should not be tracked as this might be having some compliance issues.""The accuracy of its remediation is a 7.5 out of 10. Before, I would have given it a ten but now, to handle remediation for fully qualified domain names, it's not working as it did in the past. We're finding some difficulties there.""Integration could be improved.""Scalability, particularly in workload protection, is an area that needs improvement.""The false positives can be annoying at times.""We're looking for a solution that can incorporate legacy infrastructure for some of our business needs.""The platform would be significantly enhanced by incorporating data security management capabilities."

More Check Point CloudGuard CNAPP Cons →

"The solution is not user-friendly and has room for improvement.""The initial setup was a bit "tweaky" for the open-source version.""We'd like them to offer better coverage of malware.""At the time I was using it, the graphical user interface needed some improvements.""Advanced Infrastructure should be implemented in the next release for better orchestration.""I would like to see more capabilities, more functions, and more features. More types of attack vectors.""If your company's patch is not up to date, but you have other detection or defense solutions such as endpoint detection and response and antivirus software, the product exploit may not work effectively. This is because its exploit database update process is slow and not real-time. For zero-day vulnerabilities or new security threats, relying on Rapid7 Metasploit alone may not be effective.""The solution should improve the responsiveness of its live technical support."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "​They support either annual licensing or hourly. At the time of our last negotiation, it was either one or the other, you could not mix or match. I would have liked to mix/match. ​"
  • "I would advise taking into account the existing number of devices and add a forecast of the number of devices to be added in the coming year or two, to obtain better pricing."
  • "It is a very straightforward licensing model that is based on the number of assets you are discovering and managing with the solution."
  • "The licensing and costs are straightforward, as they have a baseline of 100 workloads (number of instances) within one license with no additional nor hidden charges. If you want to have 200 workloads under Dome9, then you need to take out two licenses for that. Also, it does not have any impact on cloud billing, as data is shared using the API call. This is well within the limit of free API calls provided by the cloud provider."
  • "I suggest that you pay attention to the product pricing because while there are no tricks, and the licensing model is transparent, the final numbers may surprise you."
  • "Right now, we have licenses on 500 machines, and they are not cheap."
  • "The pricing is tremendous and super cheap. It is shockingly cheap for what you get out of it. I am happy with that. I hope that doesn't get reported back and they increase the prices. I love the pricing and the licensing makes sense. It is just assets: The more stuff that you have, the more you pay."

  • "I use the open-source version of this product. Pricing is not relevant."
  • "It is expensive. Our license expired, and our company is not thinking to renew because of our budget."
  • "The great advantage with Rapid7 Metasploit, of course, is that it's free."
  • "There are two versions available, one of which is the Pro version, and the other is the free version."
  • "Rapid7 Metasploit is cheaper than Tenable.io Vulnerability Management."
  • "On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the product's pricing a six. So it's fairly priced."
  • "The pricing structure involves a one-time purchase cost of approximately twenty thousand dollars or euros for all customers."
  • "We pay monthly. The pricing is reasonable."
