Pros
"Penetration testing and scans are useful features."

More Horizon3.ai Pros →

"All of the features are great.""Technical support has been helpful and responsive.""The Search Engineering feature is good.""It's not possible to do penetration testing without being very proficient in Metasploit.""It is scalable. It's in line with our needs.""The option to generate phishing emails has proven to be very valuable in understanding the behavior of users.""The most valuable features of the solution are the scripts, the modules, and the tools that the Rapid7 Metasploit framework has.""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."

Cons
"The reports are quite useless."

More Horizon3.ai Cons →

"Advanced Infrastructure should be implemented in the next release for better orchestration.""There are numerous outdated exploits in their database that should be updated.""Rapid7 Metasploit can add a GUI feature because it is only available online.""We'd like them to offer better coverage of malware.""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 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."

    Overview

    We are the fusion of former US Special Operations cyber operators, startup engineers, and frustrated cybersecurity practitioners. We see the world for what it is - bloated security tools, alert fatigue, reports filled with false positives, "checkbox" security culture, and consultants trying to pitch their "expertise".

    Our approach: We use the "Attacker's Perspective" to cut through the noise and help you find & fix security problems that matter. We deliver that attacker's perspective by running continuous, automated pen-test & red team operations, building “cyber terrain maps”, and running analytics to identify angles of attack. We deliver these capabilities as a true SaaS – no consultants, no professional services, and no “cheating” with agents or up-front configurations

    Attackers are always developing new exploits and attack methods—Metasploit penetration testing software helps you use their own weapons against them. Utilizing an ever-growing database of exploits, you can safely simulate real-world attacks on your network to train your security team to spot and stop the real thing.
