We performed a comparison between Rapid7 Metasploit and Tenable Security Center based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."It allows us to concentrate solely on identified vulnerabilities without the hassle of additional setup."
"The greatest advantage of Rapid7 Metasploit is that it is the only system that can directly exploit vulnerabilities on the Metasploit platform."
"The Search Engineering feature is good."
"The reporting on the solution is good."
"All of the features are great."
"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,"
"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."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the scripts, the modules, and the tools that the Rapid7 Metasploit framework has."
"We use Tenable to scan all of our environments and plugins for vulnerabilities. Tenable helps us discover network vulnerabilities to threats and piracy."
"Support is knowledgeable."
"I like Tenable.sc's analytics and reporting. You can also configure your on-prem network monitors to talk to your Tenable.sc control panel."
"The most valuable features of Tenable SC are scanning, reporting, dashboards, and automation."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the vulnerability assessment."
"What is useful to me is being able to fulfill very customized scanning policies. In the clinical environment, because of vendor control, we can't perform credential-vulnerability scanning. And network scans, which I've done before, can cause a lot of impact. Being able to create very customized policies to be able to routinely scan and audit our clinical networks, while simultaneously not causing impact, is important to us."
"We really love the Security Center dashboard. It basically performs vulnerability scanning and then outputs a vulnerability data."
"The most valuable features in Tenable SC are scanning and analysis."
"Rapid7 Metasploit could be made easier for new users to learn."
"Metasploit cannot be installed on a machine with an antivirus."
"I think areas with shortcomings that need improvement are more integration and automation."
"At the time I was using it, the graphical user interface needed some improvements."
"The open-source version has reporting limitations. You need to develop these capabilities yourself. Built-in reporting is an excellent feature for penetration testing, but it isn't a must-have. The solution could also cover more vulnerabilities. Metasploit has around 10,000 exploits in its library, but more is always better."
"The solution should improve the responsiveness of its live technical support."
"I would like to see more capabilities, more functions, and more features. More types of attack vectors."
"Advanced Infrastructure should be implemented in the next release for better orchestration."
"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 vulnerability scan does not work correctly until the access privileges are set by the system administrator."
"Security can always be improved."
"Tenable has some problems with agents going offline during scanning and lag between agents and the security center."
"The solution should include compliance-based scanning."
"The solution needs to improve the vulnerability assessment because we have experienced some challenges with accuracy."
"There is not much room for improvement. However, there should be a guide that describes the step-by-step procedures for doing tasks. Otherwise, training is required from a senior guy to a junior guy."
"Tenable SC can improve by making it easier to create complicated reports and have more effectiveness in the remediation area for comparison between the scans."
