We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It's not possible to do penetration testing without being very proficient in Metasploit.""The greatest advantage of Rapid7 Metasploit is that it is the only system that can directly exploit vulnerabilities on the Metasploit platform.""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 allows us to concentrate solely on identified vulnerabilities without the hassle of additional setup.""All of the features are great.""Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.""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,""The option to generate phishing emails has proven to be very valuable in understanding the behavior of users."

"I rate the product's initial setup phase a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is a difficult setup phase, and ten is an easy setup process.""The solution helps identify our environment's vulnerabilities.""One of its most effective features for risk identification is its enterprise-ready automation for third-party risk measurements.""With its automated approach, nothing is missed on the IPs your organization is related to."

Cons
"At the time I was using it, the graphical user interface needed some improvements.""The solution is not very scalable, it does not provide any automation to be able to scale it.""The initial setup was a bit "tweaky" for the open-source version.""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.""I would like to see more capabilities, more functions, and more features. More types of attack vectors.""The solution is not user-friendly and has room for improvement.""The solution should improve the responsiveness of its live technical support."

More Rapid7 Metasploit Cons →

"The tool needs to have the ability to mitigate vulnerabilities with alternative solutions.""SecurityScorecard's technical team's response time is an area that my company expects to be made faster.""There could be more information in regards to solving problems like hints on what specifically to look for.""They could improve the process with a questionnaire module for the product."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "I use the open-source version of this product. Pricing is not relevant."
  • "It is expensive. Our license expired, and our company is not thinking to renew because of our budget."
  • "The great advantage with Rapid7 Metasploit, of course, is that it's free."
  • "There are two versions available, one of which is the Pro version, and the other is the free version."
  • "Rapid7 Metasploit is cheaper than Tenable.io Vulnerability Management."
  • "On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the product's pricing a six. So it's fairly priced."
  • "The pricing structure involves a one-time purchase cost of approximately twenty thousand dollars or euros for all customers."
  • "We pay monthly. The pricing is reasonable."
  • More Rapid7 Metasploit Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The pricing could be split into a lower-paid tier for smaller organizations and another higher tier for others with a more security-focused outlook. $1000 per month is more than some companies pay for their internet connections in total. UPDATE: they have a new 400$ a month tier for starters."
  • "Even though it's competitive, they offer flexible pricing structures."
