Find out what your peers are saying about Tenable, Wiz, Check Point Software Technologies and others in Vulnerability Management."The biggest thing, for us lately, has been their cloud tools. They're like Intercept X from Sophos, where they'll test for ransomware. Fortinet has the same sort of set up with their cloud devices. So your firewall picks up something suspicious, it sends it up to the cloud for analysis. We also have their in-house antivirus. Having different antivirus checkpoints throughout the network is a good thing as well."
"It is extremely stable, and can expand as per our needs due to its stability."
"The solution is very good at preventing intrusions. You can definitely rely on this solution to cover your security."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the security aspects."
"We use it to protect files and to prevent users from browsing them while they are being used."
"The dashboard is very simple. It has an easy to use interface."
"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."
"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."
"The option to generate phishing emails has proven to be very valuable in understanding the behavior of users."

"The pricing of this solution is a little bit on the high side and can be improved."
"Some use case analyses could be improved."
"I'm an old-school guy. I really don't like web GUI interfaces. They're always slow and laggy and their design is restricted, whereas a binary deployment for an admin tool is always faster, easier, more flexible. I would like that kind of functionality from Fortinet."
"I would like better APIs and integration with other products, like Python and SQL."
"They need to improve the web filter to make it more user-friendly."
"We had some issues trying to fix some critical bugs, such as the SSL encryption."

"I would like to see more capabilities, more functions, and more features. More types of attack vectors."
"Advanced Infrastructure should be implemented in the next release for better orchestration."
"At the time I was using it, the graphical user interface needed some improvements."
"Better automation capabilities would be an improvement."
