Find out what your peers are saying about Tenable, Wiz, Check Point Software Technologies and others in Vulnerability Management."The vulnerability scanner, exploit achievements, and remediation actions are all great."
"What I like the most about Pentera is its solution-oriented approach."
"Maybe there are some remediation steps on the website, we can mask sensitive information on the website better."
"The most valuable feature of Pentera is that you can do continuous vulnerability assessment, which is automated."
"The product is easy to use."
"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."
"We can create our own templates."
"The ease of deployment and configuration allows users to onboard quickly."
"Using Rapid7, we can install a scan engine, we can do our VPN connections, and we can conduct internal scans of remote sites. We prefer the web application. It's smarter and more accurate from an application perspective."
"Rapid7 InsightVM has given us a practical view of the vulnerabilities present in our organization."
"The risk score that they provide makes it easier to find out the biggest risks. It helped the security officers to understand where the biggest risks are so that they can act on them. They can instruct their IT teams to give them a higher priority and mitigate them."
"This solution is very easy to use and easy to install."
"We are very satisfied with the reports, as they provide us with the information that is required for our management."
"There is room for improvement in virtualization compatibility."
"Maybe scalability. I know that the Pentera right now is high level in order to scan big deals over 500 IPs and not less, and not less. That can be more granular. This will be useful."
"Pentera's general dashboards could be improved and made more specific in terms of vulnerabilities that I'm discovering."
"The price could be improved."
"The vulnerability scanner, exploit achievements, and remediation actions are all great."
"We have some issues with how it scans patches."
"Rapid7 could be easier to manage."
"This solution integrates with another module in Metasploit, that doesn't exist in the other solutions. It is subscribed to on our roadmap, but we chose to implement both Nexppose and AppSpider."
"Some of our customers want to be completely cloud based, and Rapid7 doesn't offer this as an option."
"The integration with other solutions like JIRA could be better. Perhaps there could be some additional updates in the next phase that could integrate with it, so then you can proceed with the VT much easier."
"Rapid7 InsightVM, has impressive capabilities, especially when it comes to managing video equipment. However, we've noticed that Rapid7 also offers a cloud solution called CloudSec, and we don't have that. We think it would be better if InsightVM had all the features for both on-premise and cloud management."
"The authentication scan is not working."
"Their customer support should be improved, and the effectiveness of scans also needs to be improved."
