We performed a comparison between Rapid7 InsightVM and Skybox Security Suite based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."It is a stable solution."
"The solution is good because it has a lot of options."
"There are many integrations with things like the VMware NSX that are great, the reporting is really solid."
"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 ease of deployment and configuration allows users to onboard quickly."
"It's easy to use. It's fast, it's a powerful easy to access tool."
"The most valuable features are its reporting capabilities and the host discovery functionality."
"The solution works well."
"The most valuable feature is firewall management."
"It's given us more visibility in terms of what are the kinds of configurations that are on these devices, and how many of these are stale rules. So it's helped greatly in terms of cleaning up of rules, for sure. And it has definitely given us a more secure way of backing up the configuration on these devices."
"The solution's simplicity of use is its most valuable feature."
"Change Manager is most important because of the impact on each other of a network change or a firewall change. We want to understand this and to know, beforehand, what the impact of a change will be. We are a large network so that is a very important tool."
"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 solution's most valuable and unique assets are the vulnerability management and change management solutions because they identify mistakes in the network before implementation which reduces risks."
"The performance could be good because we chose it at the time, but it is too complex for us to appreciate its performance because we lack the necessary skills."
"Key features for us include the firewall change audit every week. Also, being able to track firewall ACL usage, so that we can produce semiannual reports on ACL usage and shadowed and redundant rules on the firewall."
"The reporting could be better."
"There are not enough templates, and the reporting is weak with this solution."
"The reporting is a little bit tricky because it can be difficult to exactly pinpoint some of the assets to filter them and generate a report."
"In terms of improvements, its price could be better. Our main issue with Rapid7 is that it is too expensive. You can only sell it to enterprise accounts. In terms of new features, Rapid7 came up with a product called InsightIDR a couple of years ago, which is a good SIEM solution. We expect that Rapid7 will work on some sort of integration between InsightVM and InsightIDR, where vulnerability or anomaly detected by InsightVM can be reported in InsightIDR in some sort of real-time. Rapid7 doesn't patch. For example, if you have a vulnerability, some products can scan and also do the patching, but Rapid7 does not do the patching. It would be nice if it can also patch."
"Their customer support should be improved, and the effectiveness of scans also needs to be improved."
"The integration with other solutions like JIRA could be better. Perhaps there could be some additional updates in the next phase that could integrate with it, so then you can proceed with the VT much easier."
"They should integrate the solution with multiple products."
"The on-premise updates could improve from Rapid7 InsightVM."
"Skybox Security Suite can improve the change management module. It is the one part of the tool that is used with the firewall devices and you have a change management module that is used to record changes of all firewalls in the company. It's not compatible with all brands, this is where they can improve the solution."
"If anything could be improved it would be staying on top of the collector scripts, but I understand that's a very tough challenge."
"The cloud site could be better. They should provide some use cases to help users."
"The solution does not support certain devices or vendors in some regions or countries due to regulations."
"Skybox Security Suite's attack surface management feature needs improvement."
"Skybox should improve their UX features by making them easier to use."
"There is room for improvement in pricing. It would be better, especially if a customer bought all four modules."
"They are not satisfied with the complexity of the solution and the price."
