We performed a comparison between Akamai Guardicore Segmentation and Rapid7 Metasploit based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about VMware, Cisco, Akamai and others in Cloud and Data Center Security."Guardicore Centra offers the best coverage specifically in backward compatibility with legacy operating systems."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the maps and ring fencing that help monitor events."
"I found the solution to be stable."
"This tool greatly helps in understanding the footprint of the attacks."
"The interface and dashboard are amazing."
"The solution is very scalable, especially when connected to the cloud resources."
"The tool's most valuable feature is its visibility."
"The real bonus is the fact that we can secure applications, all the way down to the individual services, on each host. It's actually more granular security than we can get out of a traditional firewall."
"It allows us to concentrate solely on identified vulnerabilities without the hassle of additional setup."
"Rapid7 Metasploit is a useful product."
"It contains almost all the available exploits and payloads."
"It is scalable. It's in line with our needs."
"All of the features are great."
"It's not possible to do penetration testing without being very proficient in Metasploit."
"The greatest advantage of Rapid7 Metasploit is that it is the only system that can directly exploit vulnerabilities on the Metasploit platform."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten."
"They can maybe improve their customer service just because they are kind of a small organization, and customer service isn't as big as others such as VMware."
"Customers would want to see the cost improved."
"The dashboard needs improvement. It should be more flexible so that I can easily see what I want or need to see."
"Kubernetes is not installed in the way we need it."
"It doesn't support a PAAC solution (Platforma as a service) in the cloud."
"The long-term management of the security policies could be improved with some kind of automation platform, something like Chef or Puppet or Ansible, to help you manage the policies after day-one... to then manage the policies and changes to those policies, going forward, through some type of automation process is not turning out to be really easy."
"Incident tagging could be improved. Other vendors offer semi-automatic tagging, which Guardicore doesn't yet have."
"Supports become difficult when it's for a big organization. For a small organization, medium organization, it still makes sense, however, for a big organization, it makes life difficult."
"I would like to see more capabilities, more functions, and more features. More types of attack vectors."
"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."
"Rapid7 Metasploit can add a GUI feature because it is only available online."
"Rapid7 Metasploit could be made easier for new users to learn."
"There are numerous outdated exploits in their database that should be updated."
"The solution should improve the responsiveness of its live technical support."
"I think areas with shortcomings that need improvement are more integration and automation."
"At the time I was using it, the graphical user interface needed some improvements."
