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 rate InsightVM eight out of 10 for ease of setup. It takes two or three engineers to deploy. The solution requires some maintenance. It's mainly cleaning up data."
"When you connect any new device to the network, Rapid7 has the ability to detect the new device immediately. It can scan that device to detect if it has any vulnerability. It tells you what is vulnerable and what has been misconfigured. It also tells you what is the risk of that misconfiguration or lack of patches and how to resolve the problem."
"It is a stable solution."
"The cost is what is most valuable. Compared to the other products on the market, the cost is more palatable."
"The most valuable feature for us is the different types of reporting it provides."
"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."
"It is stable and scalable."
"The remediation project is a pretty effective because it allows us, as clients or countries, to choose specific assets and set limitations on them for a certain period which allows us to track and follow up on those limitations. However, when it comes to real-time monitoring and live dashboards, InsightVM doesn't quite fit the bill. It's not a real-time solution and is not instant."
"The port division management was the solution's most valuable aspect for our organization."
"The solution offers very nice dashboards and they've recently added a very good Java-based web interface."
"The revalidation and policy recertifications are most valuable."
"The product's most valuable feature is vulnerability management."
"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 valuable feature is firewall management."
"Security review is the most important feature, because it offers a single pane of glass to analyze multiple firewalls."
"Robust modules can be used for different parts of network security."
"InsightVM could be improved by providing passive scanning as an option."
"The on-premise updates could improve from Rapid7 InsightVM."
"The solution should include a tighter integration with third-party threat modeling and threat intelligence tools."
"The product does not have the capability to do dynamic scanning of non-web applications."
"There is room for improvement on its cloud side. In the next release I would like to see better reporting."
"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."
"Technical support does not respond quickly."
"The reporting is very bad when you compare it with other vulnerability assessment tools."
"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 cloud site could be better. They should provide some use cases to help users."
"There is room for improvement in the technical support."
"The solution does not support certain devices or vendors in some regions or countries due to regulations."
"There is room for improvement in pricing. It would be better, especially if a customer bought all four modules."
"The setup documentation needs a lot of improvement."
"The initial setup with Skybox Security is hard. You need one or two strong security engineers on your team."
"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."
