"It's not possible to do penetration testing without being very proficient in Metasploit."
"Technical support has been helpful and responsive."
"It is scalable. It's in line with our needs."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten."
"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 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."
"The vulnerability scanning is the most important aspect of the solution for us."
"The integration of Tenable into our security ecosystem was very good."
"The tool has an easy-to-use interface."
"The product is easy to use."
"The solution is easy to use and configuration is smooth with no complexities."

"The most valuable feature for me is container scanning because I am interested in CICD security."
"You can customize each point in new scans."
"It is necessary to add some training materials and a tutorial for beginners."
"Metasploit cannot be installed on a machine with an antivirus."
"Better automation capabilities would be an improvement."
"The solution should improve the responsiveness of its live technical support."
"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."
"There are numerous outdated exploits in their database that should be updated."
"The solution is not user-friendly and has room for improvement."
"If your company's patch is not up to date, but you have other detection or defense solutions such as endpoint detection and response and antivirus software, the product exploit may not work effectively. This is because its exploit database update process is slow and not real-time. For zero-day vulnerabilities or new security threats, relying on Rapid7 Metasploit alone may not be effective."
"Users get confused between VPR and CVSS ratings."
"The solution is a bit slow."
"The price could be lower."
"It can have more integration."
"The one drawback that we have found is the reports."
"The solution must be promoted more in the market."
"They've been able to think about everything in terms of where the world is going and the type of assets that you've got. They've everything sorted out in that aspect, but you have to pay for most of the other components that they've got to give you complete visibility across your tech surface. If it already had those capabilities in-built, without having to add them on to take advantage of them, it would be a very compelling value proposition."
"They should include better customization of the dashboard, and integration tools."
