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.

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 user-friendly interface and customizable reporting helped our IT team interpret and act on the platform's insights because they did not have any problems using it."
"Arctic Wolf Managed Risk kind of fills in the gaps and makes us aware of vulnerabilities or misconfigurations that exist out there."
"The user-friendly interface and customizable reporting have helped our IT team interpret and act on the platform's insights."
"I appreciate the professionalism of the tool and have faith in the results it delivers."
"The customer support is incredible."
"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."
"The most valuable feature for me is the risk calculation based on monthly effects."
"InsightVM's most valuable feature is risk scoring, a formula based on different vectors like the ease of exploitation and the availability of the machine."
"One of the most valuable features is its graphical dashboard feature, as it is quite easy to manage the widgets and we can customize those according to our queries."
"The risk score that they provide makes it easier to find out the biggest risks. It helped the security officers to understand where the biggest risks are so that they can act on them. They can instruct their IT teams to give them a higher priority and mitigate them."
"You can bring in and get online to do reports fairly quickly,"
"This solution is very easy to use and easy to install."
"The most valuable feature is the site scanning, where we can provide a complete subnet and what it is we need to scan on those devices."
"The solution scales well."
 

Cons

"The best way to take this product to the next level would be to implement a patch management solution."
"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."
"As far as the product is concerned, I would really like the scanning feature to let us know that a threat has been addressed once we apply the relevant patch. We are not seeing this currently when running a scan."
"The presentation of the data could be improved."
"Arctic Wolf Managed Risk needs to add more integrations."
"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."
"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 gives false positives at times, and this a problem. It causes problems with reporting."
"This solution is expensive, but it's fine for us as we have an open budget for security solutions."
"It would be nice to have an additional feature that would provide reports on who has logged onto the console or who did what on the console."
"InsightVM could be improved by providing passive scanning as an option."
"The team needs to improve the speed and focus on the new bandwidth feed. Sometimes, it takes a while to scan, especially with new updates."
"Rapid7 InsightVM could be easier to use for those who are using it for the first time."
"The drawback is that it is still not a fully SaaS solution, so you must deploy a console."
"It would be nice to have an additional feature that would provide reports on who has logged onto the console or who did what on the console."

"The price of Arctic Wolf Managed Risk is reasonable compared to the competition."
"Arctic Wolf Managed Risk is reasonably priced and I rate it a four out of ten."
"It is pretty expensive. It depends on what you consider pricey, however, if you only look at vulnerability management solutions, such as within VM or VMDR, there are, I suppose the prices are almost the same. But I believe you will discover that for yourself."
"We have an annual license to use Rapid7 InsightVM and if we want to extend it, we will possibly choose more than one year."
"Our licensing costs are somewhere around $40,000 annually. There are no additional fees."
"It is less expensive compared to other competitors."
"InsightVM is an expensive product, especially compared to its competitors, at around a million NOK per year."
