Find out in this report how the two Vulnerability Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It's not possible to do penetration testing without being very proficient in Metasploit."
"Rapid7 Metasploit is a useful product."
"I use Rapid7 Metasploit for payload generation and Post-Exploitation."
"Technical support has been helpful and responsive."
"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 greatest advantage of Rapid7 Metasploit is that it is the only system that can directly exploit vulnerabilities on the Metasploit platform."
"The option to generate phishing emails has proven to be very valuable in understanding the behavior of users."
"It is scalable. It's in line with our needs."
"It has a good policy management feature and can provide customers with good quality outputs."
"The most valuable features are the rule compliance and the OS vulnerability checks."
"The most valuable feature is the compliance, whether it's access compliance or the configuration compliance, to make sure that all of our devices are configured as they're supposed to be, to limit access as much possible, to follow least-access guidelines."
"It can be integrated with a vulnerability management solution. When a client comes, apart from pitching network and firewall change management, we are recommending having vulnerability management. So, rather than just having the audit of the firewall, they can integrate it with their vulnerability management solution, which could be Rapid7, Qualys, or any other solution. This provides them the most value out of the platform. That is the way we are approaching our customer base."
"The product's most valuable feature is vulnerability management."
"Security review is the most important feature, because it offers a single pane of glass to analyze multiple firewalls."
"Correlates logs and threats and prioritizes; provides network maps;p provides change result context and resulting vulnerability."
"Skybox allows organizations to reprioritize the vulnerability they attempt to patch and mitigate, based on the contextual awareness of the network."
"It is necessary to add some training materials and a tutorial for beginners."
"The initial setup was a bit "tweaky" for the open-source version."
"I would like to see more capabilities, more functions, and more features. More types of attack vectors."
"The solution is not very scalable, it does not provide any automation to be able to scale it."
"Advanced Infrastructure should be implemented in the next release for better orchestration."
"Metasploit cannot be installed on a machine with an antivirus."
"At the time I was using it, the graphical user interface needed some improvements."
"Rapid7 Metasploit could be made easier for new users to learn."
"Modifications and the deletion of existing policies are currently unavailable."
"The tool does not offer options for customization."
"There is room for improvement in pricing. It would be better, especially if a customer bought all four modules."
"Skybox should improve their UX features by making them easier to use."
"The cloud site could be better. They should provide some use cases to help users."
"The Network Assurance, which helps to create the network model, is not so rich."
"The stability is something that is questionable. I don't know whether it is because of the kind of infrastructure we have or because of the product in itself. We're running it on a virtual machine right now. Maybe once a month, or once in every 45 days, it requires a restart because the application fails to connect. So I have to restart the whole Skybox Manager itself, the Skybox server itself, and then connect to it from our Skybox Manager."
"The price is costly, and I hope they can reduce the cost."
