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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"There are companies that do vulnerability scans. However, what adds value is when two experts come and sit with you to scan and patch the vulnerabilities. Any 50-member or small company that has an IT footprint carries risk from a cybersecurity perspective. These companies use tools but don't have the talent to leverage them."
"The customer support is incredible."
"This solution has made huge strides in improving the awareness of our end users."
"I appreciate the professionalism of the tool and have faith in the results it delivers."
"The most valuable feature of Arctic Wolf Managed Risk is being informed about what vulnerabilities there are exposed currently."
"We get access to quarterly reviews with their team."
"I appreciate the professionalism of the tool and have faith in the results it delivers."

"The stability of Rapid7 InsightVM is excellent."
"The most valuable features are its reporting capabilities and the host discovery functionality."

"The cost is what is most valuable. Compared to the other products on the market, the cost is more palatable."
"The performance is good."

"The pricing is reasonable."
 

Cons

"The major area for improvement is the lack of a patch management feature to resolve some of the vulnerabilities detected."
"The scalability could improve."
"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 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 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."

"Rapid7 could be easier to manage."
"Some of our customers want to be completely cloud based, and Rapid7 doesn't offer this as an option."
"There are end-user needs and expectations that are being overlooked in the development that could be addressed by appointing a customer advisory board."
"I do not like the fact that as a vulnerability scanner, this product has a fault to a certain extent."
