We performed a comparison between Rapid7 InsightVM and Rapid7 Metasploit 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 have been in contact with technical support and they are not bad."
"Has great reporting features."
"The solution is very user friendly and easy to manage."
"This solution's most useful feature is that it is entirely a single-page application."
"InsightVM's most valuable feature is risk scoring, a formula based on different vectors like the ease of exploitation and the availability of the machine."
"I really love the new platform. It is really easy to understand, use, and deploy."
"The most valuable feature for us is the different types of reporting it provides."
"The most valuable feature is the vulnerability scan."
"The Search Engineering feature is good."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the scripts, the modules, and the tools that the Rapid7 Metasploit framework has."
"I use Rapid7 Metasploit for payload generation and Post-Exploitation."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten."
"It's not possible to do penetration testing without being very proficient in Metasploit."
"It allows us to concentrate solely on identified vulnerabilities without the hassle of additional setup."
"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,"
"It is scalable. It's in line with our needs."
"The reporting is a little bit tricky because it can be difficult to exactly pinpoint some of the assets to filter them and generate a report."
"There are not enough templates, and the reporting is weak with this solution."
"It would be great to have a mobile application client. Currently, you have to use a mobile web browser on a device, but it is not similar to the desktop web browser in terms of user experience. It would be nice to have a mobile application to access the platform."
"Within InsightVM, there is no feature to assign a ticket. If we can have more API calls, we can do that from InsightVM."
"The product does not have the capability to do dynamic scanning of non-web applications."
"One area I would like to improve in InsightVM is its integration with other solutions."
"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."
"The solution could improve by being more secure."
"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 is not very scalable, it does not provide any automation to be able to scale it."
"The solution is not user-friendly and has room for improvement."
"I would like to see more capabilities, more functions, and more features. More types of attack vectors."
"The open-source version has reporting limitations. You need to develop these capabilities yourself. Built-in reporting is an excellent feature for penetration testing, but it isn't a must-have. The solution could also cover more vulnerabilities. Metasploit has around 10,000 exploits in its library, but more is always better."
"At the time I was using it, the graphical user interface needed some improvements."
"I think areas with shortcomings that need improvement are more integration and automation."
"It is necessary to add some training materials and a tutorial for beginners."
