Proactive alert management enhances network security and provides peace of mind
The reporting is really good from what I've seen so far. They are on top of the alerts, especially the critical ones. This proactive approach to alert management ensures that if someone downloads something on a workstation that shouldn't be downloaded, they address it quickly. Their ability to identify and provide information on critical alerts is very valuable.

Offers robust compliance features but needs improved automation in remediation
The automation capability remediation needs improvement. The current process requires manually telling IT teams to remediate vulnerabilities, and then they update the status of these vulnerabilities in the platform. This basic feature that Rapid7 calls an automated remediation process is actually manual. We can update the status of vulnerabilities in the Rapid7 InsightVM platform and collectively see how many vulnerabilities we have identified and how many are remediated by our IT team. More automation in the remediation feature is a basic demand from many customers. The remediation part and vulnerability identification of network devices or rigid devices are not currently supported by Rapid7 InsightVM. More integration and automation are the two areas Rapid7 needs to improve in their product.

"InsightVM provides a reliable and efficient solution with a very organized GUI, excellent ease of use, and reliable vulnerability scanning."
"We are very satisfied with the reports, as they provide us with the information that is required for our management."
"We plan to keep using this tool, and we don't want to get into another scanning tool right now because it has been selected as an enterprise tool."
"I liked the dashboard on it, I could customize my dashboard with different widgets and different heat maps."
"We feel the interface is very good. It is very easy to use, even a nontechnical person can use it."
 

Cons

"It could be easier to use. They could present things in a little bit more ranked order rather than kind of giving you everything out there."
"The major area for improvement is the lack of a patch management feature to resolve some of the vulnerabilities detected."
"There are some challenges with integrations in Arctic Wolf Managed Risk. Some integrations could be improved to enhance functionality."
"The scalability could improve."

"The major area for improvement is the lack of a patch management feature to resolve some of the vulnerabilities detected."
"The presentation of the data could be improved. I believe they have significant room for improvement, particularly in making better analysis of the vulnerability data and presenting those data more effectively."
"It could be easier to use. They could present things in a little bit more ranked order rather than kind of giving you everything out there. It should highlight the really important stuff and make it easier to get to good rather than perfect."
"It is still not a fully cloud-based solution. It will be helpful for customers if it is a complete cloud solution."
"One area I would like to improve in InsightVM is its integration with other solutions."
"The reporting is a little bit tricky because it can be difficult to exactly pinpoint some of the assets to filter them and generate a report."
"We could always have a cheaper price, but other than that it's pretty good stuff."
"The solution could improve by being more secure."
"All products have room for increased security and Rapid7 InsightVM is no exception."
"I have had some difficult problems with InsightVM. The InsightVM cannot scan if we connect to our customer by the VPN."
"The integration with other solutions like JIRA could be better. Perhaps there could be some additional updates in the next phase that could integrate with it, so then you can proceed with the VT much easier."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Arctic Wolf Managed Risk is reasonably priced and I rate it a four out of ten."
"It depends on the company size quite a bit."
"The price of Arctic Wolf Managed Risk is reasonable compared to the competition."
"The tool's price is neither too high nor too low. My company needs to pay 65,000 per year. There are no additional costs apart from the licensing fees attached to the solution."
"Its pricing depends on the number of users per month."
"Its price is too high. My only concern or issue with Rapid7 is its pricing."
"We have an annual license to use Rapid7 InsightVM and if we want to extend it, we will possibly choose more than one year."
"The license is IP based. How many IPs you are using to scan is the amount of the license you have to buy. The number of users doesn't matter; many users can use it or only person. It depends on the culture of the organization."
"In some cases, we procure the licenses. In some cases, the customers directly buy the license from Rapid7."
"Pricing is reasonable because we pay according to asset usage. We can define our assets and sites according to our preference."
"It is less expensive compared to other competitors."
