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.
"The greatest advantage of Rapid7 Metasploit is that it is the only system that can directly exploit vulnerabilities on the Metasploit platform."
"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."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten."
"The reporting on the solution is good."
"Technical support has been helpful and responsive."
"Rapid7 Metasploit is a useful product."
"It contains almost all the available exploits and payloads."
"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 predictive prioritization features are pretty good. They do a lot of research and we trust the research that they do internally. They have knowledge of what's going on with many companies, where we only get a view into what's going on here. So the ability to get best practices out of them as part of this solution, is valuable to us."
"It's a very useful tool."
"We use Tenable to scan all of our environments and plugins for vulnerabilities. Tenable helps us discover network vulnerabilities to threats and piracy."
"Tenable.sc's best features are the availability model, accident management, and scoring."
"Tenable SC is good for reporting and alerting. The filtering feature is also very valuable. Its integration with multiple vendors is quite good. It can be integrated with SIEM solutions and PAM solutions such as Thycotic, which is very helpful."
"The most valuable features of Tenable SC are the reports and the dashboards."
"I think that this is a good solution for evaluating vulnerability in the network."
"The solution is not user-friendly and has room for improvement."
"The solution should improve the responsiveness of its live technical support."
"We'd like them to offer better coverage of malware."
"It is necessary to add some training materials and a tutorial for beginners."
"The solution is not very scalable, it does not provide any automation to be able to scale it."
"The initial setup was a bit "tweaky" for the open-source version."
"Advanced Infrastructure should be implemented in the next release for better orchestration."
"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."
"If I want to have a very low-managed scan policy, it's a lot of work to create something which is very basic. If I use a tool like Nmap, all I have to do is download it, install it, type in the command, and it's good to go. In Security Center, I have to go through a lot of work to create a policy that's very basic."
"I think the vendor training provided for Tenable.sc could be a lower price. It's quite expensive for the training."
"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."
"We would like to see the inclusion of external IPs and simplified reporting that's easier to deal with"
"I will say it's a lot slower compared to an MS scan. It takes so much longer, so the performance could definitely be worked on."
"We are facing some challenges related to our channel."
"Support could be faster."
"Tenable SC can improve by adding more integrations with HCI-type tools and more accurate vulnerability detection."
