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."The tool is also very intuitive; its dashboards are very complete and provide a lot of valuable information for decision-making to improve security."
"It offers a range of features tailored to address the unique security challenges."
"The product allows us to enhance the security of the implementations we have."
"It saves time because I can look across the organization. Instead of checking 50 different accounts atomically and spending 15 minutes investigating each, I can spend 15 minutes exploring all 50 accounts. It allows me to quickly look across the org for similar problems when one comes up. That's a huge time saver."
"Dome9 wraps our FTP infrastructure with its network security configurations, and this also gives us the ability to monitor FTP activity."
"The most valuable feature is the single dashboard that enables us to manage the entire cloud environment from one place."
"The administration portal panel is very intuitive."
"The most valuable features of CloudGuard CNAPP are its compliance engine and auto-remediation features."
"All of the features are great."
"I use Rapid7 Metasploit for payload generation and Post-Exploitation."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the scripts, the modules, and the tools that the Rapid7 Metasploit framework has."
"It's not possible to do penetration testing without being very proficient in Metasploit."
"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."
"It is scalable. It's in line with our needs."
"The reporting on the solution is good."
"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 Check Point Infinity admin portal sometimes freezes."
"CloudGuard could be improved by including integration with vendors other than AWS, especially Azure, especially in permissions."
"Currently, worldwide, there are many companies of all sizes that do not understand the value that their data has, but even with all existing clouds, they also do not understand what the shared responsibility model is. They only assume that by having a cloud, the provider must ensure safety, when the truth is that the providers only secure their sites. Everything we do in the cloud and how we configure it is actually our responsibility."
"The reporting has a lot of opportunities to continuously improve so that we can continue to show value."
"The license cost is expensive and has room for improvement."
"The accuracy of its remediation is a 7.5 out of 10. Before, I would have given it a ten but now, to handle remediation for fully qualified domain names, it's not working as it did in the past. We're finding some difficulties there."
"The costs are high."
"The price of this solution should be reduced so that it is more affordable to scale."
"The solution is not user-friendly and has room for improvement."
"The solution is not very scalable, it does not provide any automation to be able to scale it."
"I would like to see more capabilities, more functions, and more features. More types of attack vectors."
"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 initial setup was a bit "tweaky" for the open-source version."
"There are numerous outdated exploits in their database that should be updated."
"At the time I was using it, the graphical user interface needed some improvements."
"I think areas with shortcomings that need improvement are more integration and automation."
