"The reporting features are good and there are many built-in reports that can be quickly configured."
"It helped with some of the regulatory requirements. It also helped with some of the security analytics and analysis. It was worthwhile from that perspective."
"The solution is open source and has many small targetted penetration tests that have been written by many people that are useful. You can choose different subjects for the test, such as Oracle databases or Apache servers."
"Rapid7 Metasploit is a useful product."
"I use Rapid7 Metasploit for payload generation and Post-Exploitation."
"The Search Engineering feature is good."

"It allows us to concentrate solely on identified vulnerabilities without the hassle of additional setup."
"The most valuable feature for us is the support for testing Linux-based web server components."
"Building policies is not that easy. There are some things that are turned off by default, for example, displaying values."
"It was not as easy to use. The user-friendliness of it was somewhat lower than what I was expecting. It was also lacking in terms of the ease of the setup. There should be an automatic agent for deployment."

"The solution is not user-friendly and has room for improvement."
"I would like to see more capabilities, more functions, and more features. More types of attack vectors."
