Pros
"The interface is simple to use."

More CyberGRX Pros →

"The option to generate phishing emails has proven to be very valuable in understanding the behavior of users.""The Search Engineering feature is good.""All of the features are great.""I use Rapid7 Metasploit for payload generation and Post-Exploitation.""The most valuable feature for us is the support for testing Linux-based web server components.""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 greatest advantage of Rapid7 Metasploit is that it is the only system that can directly exploit vulnerabilities on the Metasploit platform.""Technical support has been helpful and responsive."

Cons
"There are not many partners for this product in India, which makes the OEM very difficult to reach."

More CyberGRX Cons →

"The solution is not user-friendly and has room for improvement.""Better automation capabilities would be an improvement.""I think areas with shortcomings that need improvement are more integration and automation.""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 initial setup was a bit "tweaky" for the open-source version.""I would like to see more capabilities, more functions, and more features. More types of attack vectors.""The solution should improve the responsiveness of its live technical support.""The solution is not very scalable, it does not provide any automation to be able to scale it."
