We performed a comparison between Rapid7 InsightVM and Skybox Security Suite 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."I have been in contact with technical support and they are not bad."
"It is a stable solution."
"We can create our own templates."
"The most valuable feature is the vulnerability scan."
"When you connect any new device to the network, Rapid7 has the ability to detect the new device immediately. It can scan that device to detect if it has any vulnerability. It tells you what is vulnerable and what has been misconfigured. It also tells you what is the risk of that misconfiguration or lack of patches and how to resolve the problem."
"It's easy to use. It's fast, it's a powerful easy to access tool."
"The ease of deployment and configuration allows users to onboard quickly."
"The solution is good because it has a lot of options."
"The most valuable features are Firewall Assurance and Vulnerability Control."
"The performance could be good because we chose it at the time, but it is too complex for us to appreciate its performance because we lack the necessary skills."
"It's given us more visibility in terms of what are the kinds of configurations that are on these devices, and how many of these are stale rules. So it's helped greatly in terms of cleaning up of rules, for sure. And it has definitely given us a more secure way of backing up the configuration on these devices."
"Skybox allows organizations to reprioritize the vulnerability they attempt to patch and mitigate, based on the contextual awareness of the network."
"Overall, the tool has helped us reduce risks. If any step is missing, it's easier for my team or engineers to identify it. The tool provides accurate recommendations based on the data. Its integration is easy, and I have integrated it with Fortinet firewalls."
"The features that I have found most valuable with Skybox Security Suite, and this is because I work on the security side, are the firewall assurance, the change manager and the vulnerability control. These three features are the most impressive from Skybox Security."
"Robust modules can be used for different parts of network security."
"The ability to appropriately prioritize vulnerabilities inside the environment, and then to have visibility into the traffic and rule sets of an organization, are two of the top capabilities that I recommend. Skybox is the only one that does both of those in a single platform."
"Reporting could be expanded."
"This solution creates false-positives which can cause issues with reporting."
"The InsightVM cannot scan if we connect to our customer by the VPN."
"It is still not a fully cloud-based solution. It will be helpful for customers if it is a complete cloud solution. It is a hybrid solution at the moment."
"The product does not have the capability to do dynamic scanning of non-web applications."
"Within InsightVM, there is no feature to assign a ticket. If we can have more API calls, we can do that from InsightVM."
"Technical support does not respond quickly."
"Patch management is the only missing feature I can think of. Rapid7 detects vulnerabilities, but it should also help you manage patches."
"The most recent update was not tested with all of the vendors before it was released, so some of the features are misbehaving."
"It's expensive."
"The initial setup with Skybox Security is hard. You need one or two strong security engineers on your team."
"The price is costly, and I hope they can reduce the cost."
"Reporting. A lot of the reports, out of the box, are limited to a certain number of either configuration violations or access rule violations. So when you first set up a new firewall to be monitored by Skybox, you don't get a real full report. You have to really tweak it to get everything."
"The solution needs to move improve its interface to a full web browser version that is more accessible and doesn't require installation for use."
"The primary room for improvement would be to enable a web interface, which is not something which is there in the product. This is supposed to have come a year, a year and a half ago, but still has failed to come out. It still needs a client application to be installed on a workstation to be able to access that server and then run these reports. So I cannot extend that access to anybody. It has to be one administrator all the time. So unlike a web interface, where you can give multiple users simultaneous access and generate the various reports, that isn't a possibility at the moment."
"The vendor's support is terrible."
