Find out what your peers are saying about Tenable, Qualys, Rapid7 and others in Risk-Based Vulnerability Management."The ease of deployment and configuration allows users to onboard quickly."
"The solution works well."
"The most important aspect of the solution is that it rarely gives false positives, especially compared to other products. It provides very clear reports for our IT teams to look at."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"InsightVM's most valuable feature is risk scoring, a formula based on different vectors like the ease of exploitation and the availability of the machine."
"The most valuable features are its reporting capabilities and the host discovery functionality."
"The remediation project is a pretty effective because it allows us, as clients or countries, to choose specific assets and set limitations on them for a certain period which allows us to track and follow up on those limitations. However, when it comes to real-time monitoring and live dashboards, InsightVM doesn't quite fit the bill. It's not a real-time solution and is not instant."
"There are many integrations with things like the VMware NSX that are great, the reporting is really solid."
"It is very stable. We have not had any problems."
"You can integrate Splunk with third-party security automation solutions and set rules for automatic response."
"The flexibility of the solution is quite good."
"The reporting aspect is good and it does what I need it to do."
"The ability to digest any information and then correlate it in accordance with what you need is valuable. The ability to connect to pretty much everything and bring the information in the same format is also valuable. On top of that, we can use their language in order to create and customize the dashboards, correlations, or analytics that we want to incorporate."
"I like Splunk's data aggregation and search capabilities."
"It has quite extensive support in terms of integration. If you want to do anything, there are tools for that."
"Splunk is stable, and this is why many customers want it."
"Some of our customers want to be completely cloud based, and Rapid7 doesn't offer this as an option."
"There is a significant learning curve, that non-technical individuals, especially those not specialized in computer science or the information security industry, might face."
"Their customer support should be improved, and the effectiveness of scans also needs to be improved."
"It is still not a fully cloud-based solution. It will be helpful for customers if it is a complete cloud solution. It is a hybrid solution at the moment."
"The reporting could be better."
"There are end-user needs and expectations that are being overlooked in the development that could be addressed by appointing a customer advisory board."
"Rapid7 InsightVM, has impressive capabilities, especially when it comes to managing video equipment. However, we've noticed that Rapid7 also offers a cloud solution called CloudSec, and we don't have that. We think it would be better if InsightVM had all the features for both on-premise and cloud management."
"One area I would like to improve in InsightVM is its integration with other solutions."
"I haven't found a way for me to create my own plugins and integrate them into Splunk, but this isn't necessarily a limitation; it could simply be a lack of knowledge on my part."
"My company could benefit from doing more Splunk training with Splunk consultants teaching us how to use it."
"It is a good product, but the Achilles heel for a lot of organizations is the cost model for it because it gets expensive. That's because the model is based on how much data it processes a day, which can be prohibitive, especially if you have a lot of data. A lot of customers may not be ready for the sticker shock on how to fully leverage the product. I realized that the reason for that is that when it was originally designed, it was kind of like a big data modeling application. If they want to have a bigger customer base, they can come out with subsets of their product that are focused on specific things and have different pricing models. It may help with the cost."
"We'd like to have the number of devices covered under the license to be increased."
"Sometimes, there is latency in the logs."
"We usually have to follow up with technical support on our open cases."
"It currently has limited default rules and customizations. If they can concentrate more on the compliance part and the security information part, it would be helpful. The platform part is good, but it requires many features from the security aspect."
"The security can be improved."
