Rapid7 InsightVM received mixed feedback on deployment time and user interface, Wiz was praised for its intuitive interface and strong collaboration tools. Users of both products provided positive feedback for customer support. Ultimately, both products offer valuable features for cybersecurity efforts, but Rapid7 InsightVM may require more attention to user interface improvements, integration capabilities, and customer support responsiveness, while Wiz may need enhancements to customization options.
The summary above is based on 46 interviews we conducted recently with Rapid7 InsightVM and Wiz users. To access the review's full transcripts, download our report.
"We feel the interface is very good. It is very easy to use, even a nontechnical person can use it."
"When it comes to the process, installation is very easy and does not take long."
"The ease of deployment and configuration allows users to onboard quickly."
"The performance is good."
"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."
"The discovery and prioritization of vulnerabilities."
"There are many integrations with things like the VMware NSX that are great, the reporting is really solid."
"This solution is much more user-friendly than past solutions I have used."
"The product supports out-of-the-box reporting with context about the asset and allows us to perform complex custom queries on UI."
"Out of all the features, the one item that has been most valuable is the fact that Wiz puts into context all the pieces that create an issue, and applies a particular risk evaluation that helps us prioritize when we need to address a misconfiguration, vulnerability, or any issue that would put our environment into risk."
"I like Wiz's reporting, and it's easy to do queries. For example, it's pretty simple to find out how many servers we have and the applications installed on each. I like Wiz's security graph because you can use it to see the whole organization even if you have multiple accounts."
"The first thing that stood out was the ease of installation and the quick value we got out of the solution."
"The automation roles are essential because we ultimately want to do less work and automate more. The dashboards are easy to read and visually pleasing. You can understand things quickly, which makes it easy for our other teams. The network and infrastructure teams don't know as much about security as we do, so it helps to have a tool that's accessible and nice to look at."
"The vulnerability management modules and the discovery and inventory are the most valuable features. Before using Wiz, it was a very manual process for both. After implementing it, we're able to get all of the analytics into a single platform that gives us visibility across all the systems in our cloud. We're able to correspond and understand what the vulnerability landscape looks like a lot faster."
"The solution is very user-friendly."
"The CSPM module has been the most effective. It was easy to deploy and covered all our accounts through APIs, requiring no agents. Wiz provides instant visibility into high-level risks that we need to address."
"They should integrate the solution with multiple products."
"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."
"All products have room for increased security and Rapid7 InsightVM is no exception."
"The drawback is that it is still not a fully SaaS solution, so you must deploy a console."
"We have some issues with how it scans patches."
"InsightVM is getting a little stale and is in danger of falling behind its competitors."
"We'd like the agent to cover more compliance issues."
"Their customer support should be improved, and the effectiveness of scans also needs to be improved."
"We wish there were a way, beyond providing visibility and automated remediation, to wait on a given remediation, due to a critical aspect, such as the cost associated with a particular upgrade... We would like to see preventive controls that can be applied through Wiz to protect against vulnerabilities that we're not going to be able to remediate immediately."
"We would like to see improvements to executive-level reporting and data reporting in general, which we understand is being rolled out to the platform."
"The remediation workflow within the Wiz could be improved."
"Wiz's reporting capabilities could be refined a bit. They are making headway on that, but more executive-style dashboards would be nice. They just implemented a community aspect where you can share documents and feedback. This was something users had been requesting for a while. They are listening to customer feedback and making changes."
"We're looking at some of the data compliance stuff that they've got Jon offer. I know they're looking at container security, which we gonna be looking at next."
"The only small pain point has been around some of the logging integrations. Some of the complexities of the script integrations aren't supported with some of the more automated infrastructure components. So, it's not as universal. For example, they have great support for cloud formation and other services, but if you're using another type of management utility or governance language for your infrastructure-as-code automation components, it becomes a little bit trickier to navigate that."
"The only thing that needs to be improved is the number of scans per day."
"One significant issue is that the searches are case-sensitive, so finding a misconfigured resource can become very challenging."
