I haven't thrown anything at it that it can't handle. The report generation slows down the larger your environment gets, and the greater the number of scans you're trying to integrate into a single report. Even with the increased resources that we gave the server when we did a rebuild hasn't caused any problems. I would anticipate that if you're getting up into the tens of thousands of devices and trying to report across all of those, I could see that grinding to a halt a little bit.
Otherwise, scalability is great. We have more than doubled the number of devices that we're scaling since we did the initial install. We're up to somewhere around 6,000 now and it's chugging right along.

Its scalability is okay. We have approximately 3,000 members. Every asset gets scanned. So, indirectly or directly, everyone is using this product.
We plan to keep using this tool. We don't want to get into another scanning tool right now. It has been selected as an enterprise tool, and we aren't going to move to another tool. Any new employees would get added to this tool.
View full review »The scalability is quite good. We can increase the number of assets by paying either onsite or online. Also, we have an onsite engine, and we can install it in our cloud or AWS cloud, for instance.

We have a few tens of users of the solution. They include IT specialists, engineers, and administrators. We can easily install scan engines in different zones of our network. But, we face difficulties pairing the scan engines to the management console.
I rate the solution's scalability as an eight.
View full review »If you want to scan more than 1,000 assets, then we need to show the requirement first. It will use the server with maximum CPU, and maximum RAM. The scalability is quite higher than on the previous one we used. It keeps getting better.

We have a couple of customers with various company sizes, and we haven't had any scalability issues. Rapid7 is pretty much an enterprise solution. We're talking about customers with more than 1500 nodes to scan.

Chief Executive Officer at a outsourcing company with 11-50 employees
Rapid7 InsightVM is a scalable product. I would rate the scalability a five out of five.
We have approximately 1, 500 endpoints in our company.
It's not users, but endpoints, because the model is built around the endpoints you want to monitor. We run on around 1,500 endpoints. It is not user-specific.
One person can easily manage this solution, but we have a team of four engineers to manage our environment.

From a scalability standpoint, it's good because they give you around 100%. If you want to increase your asset counts, for example, they give you permission for 100% above the limit that you pay for.

I probably don't have an opinion on the scalability. It seemed to function, however, beyond that I'm not sure. As an end-user, I just would log in and run reports. I wasn't in charge of expanding the solution. I used it in a pretty non-technical way.
There were only ever about 10 to 15 users on the solution at any given time.

We're at a pretty big scale already. I don't expect us to get any bigger and it's handling our scale now. If anything, we’ll probably shrink.
We're a school district and, in this area, there are three big districts, and they have open enrollment. We're not on the marketing end of our school district. If the marketing doesn't do well, we’ll shrink.

Rapid7 InsightVM is scalable.
View full review »I do not know at this point just how scalable this solution is. We bought it for an enterprise solution, so our enterprise need is getting solved. I do not know how much scaling we have to do on top of that. I do not like the fact that as a vulnerability scanner, this product has a fault to a certain extent. We want to be able to scan applications dynamically and this solution does not give us that ability. It does for web apps. But if you are a company that does not have a lot of web apps, something is getting left uncovered.
Let's say you have a third-party app. You go to that third-party developer and you ask if they have ever done a security attestation on the application. They look at you and like they have no idea what the heck you are talking about and they have no idea what that means. It would be good, in that case, to be able to take the Rapid7 product and point it at that third-party app and scan it dynamically. That way you can get code vulnerabilities or functional vulnerabilities. What would otherwise be a problem is something you could identify and isolate. If Rapid7 looked at the scripting and identified a secret injection attack at line 1,141 — or something to that effect — it could be vetted. It does do that, but it only does that on web applications. Why stop there?
In order to solve that issue, you have to go out and buy another third-party product that allows you to scan the application to do dynamic or static vulnerability scanning on the application. I do not like that omission because I had that capability with Qualys. We could take Qualys and we could point it at an application and get dynamic scanning reports from it. It told us a line that needed to be fixed and everything.
I have not yet gotten into the bowels of that discussion with Rapid7, but I want to. What I did find out about it is our current setup does not cover that type of potential application vulnerability. It does allow for some scanning of web applications, but we are not a company that has a lot of web applications. We are not a retail organization. We do not sell anything. We do have web applications, but they are mainly used for marketing.
We probably have close to a dozen people in our organization who are currently interfacing in some way with Rapid7 InsightVM. That part is scalable. The utility does have those certain limitations, however.
The solution is very flexible and very scalable. A company that needs to add it to their endpoints should have no issues doing so. I don't think there is a limit as to how many are possible.
Typically we deploy this solution to medium-sized enterprises in microfinance and insurance.
