We performed a comparison between Rapid7 InsightVM and Rapid7 Metasploit 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."Has great reporting features."
"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."
"I really love the new platform. It is really easy to understand, use, and deploy."
"I rate InsightVM eight out of 10 for ease of setup. It takes two or three engineers to deploy. The solution requires some maintenance. It's mainly cleaning up data."
"We are very satisfied with the reports, as they provide us with the information that is required for our management."
"One of the most valuable features is it's graphical dashboard feature. It is quite easy to manage the widgets, and we can customize those according to our queries."
"It is good and fits well with pretty much all of our use case needs."
"I have been in contact with technical support and they are not bad."
"It's not possible to do penetration testing without being very proficient in Metasploit."
"The tool's most useful feature for penetration testing is its automation capabilities. With the professional edition, you can upload the results from Nessus in the Rapid7 Metasploit solution portal."
"All of the features are great."
"It contains almost all the available exploits and payloads."
"The Search Engineering feature is good."
"I use Rapid7 Metasploit for payload generation and Post-Exploitation."
"The greatest advantage of Rapid7 Metasploit is that it is the only system that can directly exploit vulnerabilities on the Metasploit platform."
"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,"
"There should be containerization within the VM."
"We found that after you passed an endpoint, it didn't always reflect it in the next scan. I'm not sure if it was a glitch or some issue with the product's software. That was never clear. That was always an issue and something that definitely needed improvement."
"The reporting is very bad when you compare it with other vulnerability assessment tools."
"Rapid7 InsightVM, has impressive capabilities, especially when it comes to managing video equipment. However, we've noticed that Rapid7 also offers a cloud solution called CloudSec, and we don't have that. We think it would be better if InsightVM had all the features for both on-premise and cloud management."
"There is a significant learning curve, that non-technical individuals, especially those not specialized in computer science or the information security industry, might face."
"There is room for improvement on its cloud side. In the next release I would like to see better reporting."
"The team needs to improve the speed and focus on the new bandwidth feed. Sometimes, it takes a while to scan, especially with new updates."
"One area I would like to improve in InsightVM is its integration with other solutions."
"We'd like them to offer better coverage of malware."
"The solution should improve the responsiveness of its live technical support."
"There are numerous outdated exploits in their database that should be updated."
"The solution is not user-friendly and has room for improvement."
"Rapid7 Metasploit could be made easier for new users to learn."
"Metasploit cannot be installed on a machine with an antivirus."
"The solution is not very scalable, it does not provide any automation to be able to scale it."
"Better automation capabilities would be an improvement."
