AdeelAgha - PeerSpot reviewer
Team Lead - Cyber Security & Compliance at Al Tuwairqi Group

The solution is scalable.

Only our Cybersecurity team is using the solution; there are approximately five people using it. We have not given access to any other Support teams.

It is scalable. It's in line with our needs. There are around five end users. We have possible plans to increase the further usage.

The solution is not very scalable, it does not provide any automation to be able to scale it.

For the projects that we have worked on, the scalability has been fine. I'm not sure how it would perform in a hybrid environment, but for our on-premises deployment, it is quite a nice product.

We have a team of 12 people and it is used for perhaps 10 large companies.

The scalability is not that good.

When you use the command-line interface, not very much of the process is automated. There should always be an expert present to work with the software. Under the GUI, I believe there are some features that can be automated for testing.

The solution was not intended to be automated because penetration testing requires attention and caution because it's done on a live network with line services. Automation can damage the target network or the system on the network.

You can automate the input of data, but the results are not satisfactory.

The scalability should definitely be improved.

So far, for our purposes, we've never run into issues with scalability. It's been good. I'm not sure how it would be for other companies, however, I don't forsee there being any issues if they should require the solution to expand to meet their needs.

Our company performs penetration testing for our clients. It is not used in the client's organization by any users normally, instead, it is used by the penetration tester, who performs the penetration testing activities.

Our company is a professional services company with 15 team members. All 15 team members are using this solution.

I do not think it scales. But, I do not understand why someone would want to scale Metasploit, at it is very specific on what you are attacking. It attacks a particular server. You can only scale if you are using Nmap.
