Cons
"No third-party applications or integrations with additional software solutions."

More BMC TrueSight Vulnerability Management Cons →

"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.""Metasploit cannot be installed on a machine with an antivirus.""Better automation capabilities would be an improvement.""The solution should improve the responsiveness of its live technical support.""Rapid7 Metasploit could be made easier for new users to learn.""At the time I was using it, the graphical user interface needed some improvements.""I would like to see more capabilities, more functions, and more features. More types of attack vectors.""There are numerous outdated exploits in their database that should be updated."
