Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Penetration testing and scans are useful features."
"It's not possible to do penetration testing without being very proficient in Metasploit."
"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,"
"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."
"All of the features are great."
"The reporting on the solution is good."
"The option to generate phishing emails has proven to be very valuable in understanding the behavior of users."
"I use Rapid7 Metasploit for payload generation and Post-Exploitation."
"It allows us to concentrate solely on identified vulnerabilities without the hassle of additional setup."
 

Cons

"The reports are quite useless."
"It is necessary to add some training materials and a tutorial for beginners."
"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."
"There are numerous outdated exploits in their database that should be updated."
"We'd like them to offer better coverage of malware."
"At the time I was using it, the graphical user interface needed some improvements."
"The solution should improve the responsiveness of its live technical support."
"Rapid7 Metasploit can add a GUI feature because it is only available online."
"Rapid7 Metasploit could be made easier for new users to learn."
