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."The solution scales well."
"The solution is good because it has a lot of options."
"We are very satisfied with the reports, as they provide us with the information that is required for our management."
"We feel the interface is very good. It is very easy to use, even a nontechnical person can use it."
"The solution works well."
"The cost is what is most valuable. Compared to the other products on the market, the cost is more palatable."
"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."
"We can create our own templates."
"The most valuable feature of the product is the Assurance Report Card, which gives us an overview of the security poster in just a simple glance."
"The tool's dashboard and reporting capabilities match our company's needs since we are able to modify the basic view to create a new dashboard, and it works out very well for our needs."
"The scans are the most valuable aspect of this solution."
"I think that this is a good solution for evaluating vulnerability in the network."
"The solution is very intuitive and the dashboards are simple to use."
"This solution has a much lower rate of false positives compared to competing products."
"Initial setup was pretty straightforward."
"We really love the Security Center dashboard. It basically performs vulnerability scanning and then outputs a vulnerability data."
"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."
"The product does not have the capability to do dynamic scanning of non-web applications."
"The reporting has room for improvement. You cannot customize any report. If I need a specific requirement, I have to create a new report for it."
"We'd like the agent to cover more compliance issues."
"Some difficulties with the online reporting and lack of integrations."
"Rapid7 could be easier to manage."
"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."
"I think the vendor training provided for Tenable.sc could be a lower price. It's quite expensive for the training."
"Deploying Tenable.sc is highly complex because it's an on-prem solution, whereas Tenable.io is cloud-based, so you can go live as soon as you log in. Tenable.sc involves significant integration with other on-prem solutions, and the deployment takes about two to three weeks with the help of a system integrator"
"The reporting side can be improved. The dashboards are nice, but exporting things out for reports for management was a little tough."
"Tenable SC can improve by adding more integrations with HCI-type tools and more accurate vulnerability detection."
"Security can always be improved."
"The GUI could be improved to have all concerns and priorities use the same GUI, allowing them to see all tickets, assign vulnerabilities, and assign variation failures to each member of their team."
"The product could be user-friendly, and they could enhance the web application's security features."
"The web application is not very functional."
