"I use Rapid7 Metasploit for payload generation and Post-Exploitation."
"It is scalable. It's in line with our needs."
"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."
"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,"
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten."
"The most valuable feature for us is the support for testing Linux-based web server components."

"I would like to see it integrate with third-party systems."
"I think areas with shortcomings that need improvement are more integration and automation."
"Better automation capabilities would be an improvement."
"It is necessary to add some training materials and a tutorial for beginners."
"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."
"Rapid7 Metasploit could be made easier for new users to learn."
"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."
"At the time I was using it, the graphical user interface needed some improvements."
"Metasploit cannot be installed on a machine with an antivirus."
