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."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,"
"I use Rapid7 Metasploit for payload generation and Post-Exploitation."
"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."
"It contains almost all the available exploits and payloads."
"The reporting on the solution is good."
"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."
"All of the features are great."
"The price of Tenable.io Vulnerability Management is reasonable as it is ten times cheaper than other options."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"The integration of Tenable into our security ecosystem was very good."
"The interface is fine."
"The most valuable feature for me is container scanning because I am interested in CICD security."
"The solution is easy to use and configuration is smooth with no complexities."
"Tenable.io Vulnerability Management is an easy-to-use product. I"
"I would rate Tenable's dashboards and reporting capabilities for illustrating security posture a nine out of ten, with ten being the best."
"Advanced Infrastructure should be implemented in the next release for better orchestration."
"Rapid7 Metasploit can add a GUI feature because it is only available online."
"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."
"The solution is not very scalable, it does not provide any automation to be able to scale it."
"It is necessary to add some training materials and a tutorial for beginners."
"Better automation capabilities would be an improvement."
"Rapid7 Metasploit could be made easier for new users to learn."
"We'd like them to offer better coverage of malware."
"There needs to be better dashboard navigation."
"The pricing of the solution could be more reasonable."
"We'd like to see a bit more user-friendliness."
"Tenable could improve visibility into assets, including automated asset tagging. You should be able to automatically tag assets based on location, function, ownership, etc. That would help us because we spend a lot of time identifying and tagging assets by hand."
"Tenable.io Vulnerability Management could be improved with an increased number of dashboards and MSSP integration."
"They've been able to think about everything in terms of where the world is going and the type of assets that you've got. They've everything sorted out in that aspect, but you have to pay for most of the other components that they've got to give you complete visibility across your tech surface. If it already had those capabilities in-built, without having to add them on to take advantage of them, it would be a very compelling value proposition."
"An area of improvement for this solution is being able to customize the dashboard. For example, the dashboard does not allow us to view a previous months vulnerability results alongside current results to make comparisons."
"The stability has room for improvement."
