Find out in this report how the two Risk-Based Vulnerability Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I really love the new platform. It is really easy to understand, use, and deploy."
"Using Rapid7, we can install a scan engine, we can do our VPN connections, and we can conduct internal scans of remote sites. We prefer the web application. It's smarter and more accurate from an application perspective."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"The most valuable feature for us is the different types of reporting it provides."
"You can bring in and get online to do reports fairly quickly,"
"It's a relevant management tool."
"It is a stable solution."
"Rapid7 InsightVM has given us a practical view of the vulnerabilities present in our organization."
"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."
"It allows us to concentrate solely on identified vulnerabilities without the hassle of additional setup."
"The Search Engineering feature is good."
"It contains almost all the available exploits and payloads."
"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."
"It's not possible to do penetration testing without being very proficient in Metasploit."
"The option to generate phishing emails has proven to be very valuable in understanding the behavior of users."
"Patch management is the only missing feature I can think of. Rapid7 detects vulnerabilities, but it should also help you manage patches."
"There have been instances where technical support takes a long time to update the status of a ticket, which is something that can be improved."
"The solution could improve by being more secure."
"The InsightVM cannot scan if we connect to our customer by the VPN."
"A definite improvement would be to make it easier to run ad-hoc scans without needing to assign the asset to a site or group."
"This solution creates false-positives which can cause issues with reporting."
"The solution needs to improve its vulnerability design to include CVC results."
"It would be great to have a mobile application client. Currently, you have to use a mobile web browser on a device, but it is not similar to the desktop web browser in terms of user experience. It would be nice to have a mobile application to access the platform."
"I would like to see more capabilities, more functions, and more features. More types of attack vectors."
"The initial setup was a bit "tweaky" for the open-source version."
"Better automation capabilities would be an improvement."
"Advanced Infrastructure should be implemented in the next release for better orchestration."
"Rapid7 Metasploit could be made easier for new users to learn."
"The solution is not user-friendly and has room for improvement."
"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."
"We'd like them to offer better coverage of malware."
