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."
"We get access to quarterly reviews with their team."
"Arctic Wolf Managed Risk kind of fills in the gaps and makes us aware of vulnerabilities or misconfigurations that exist out there."
"The most valuable feature of Arctic Wolf Managed Risk is being informed about what vulnerabilities there are exposed currently."
"This solution has made huge strides in improving the awareness of our end users."
"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."
"We have a patch management solution that scans for any patches that can be applied and then applies these patches, but it doesn't hit everything. It also doesn't find all misconfigurations and things like that. Arctic Wolf Managed Risk kind of fills in the gaps and makes us aware of vulnerabilities or misconfigurations that exist out there. It does an agent scan for software versions and compares them to what CVs are out there and lets us know."
"The solution's user interface is good and has some vulnerability prioritization."
"The connectivity provided by Rapid7 InsightVM is valuable."
"The performance is good."
"NeXpose is a pretty good vulnerability scanner... There's a nice dashboard."
"The risk score that they provide makes it easier to find out the biggest risks, helping the security officers understand where the biggest risks are so that they can act on them by instructing their IT teams to give them a higher priority and mitigate them."
"The solution is good because it has a lot of options."
"InsightVM allows customers to manage assets from anywhere, whether they need the ICS compiler or users to work from home."
"I rate InsightVM eight out of 10 for ease of setup. It takes two or three engineers to deploy. The solution requires some maintenance. It's mainly cleaning up data."
 

Cons

"Arctic Wolf Managed Risk needs to add more integrations."
"The best way to take this product to the next level would be to implement a patch management solution."
"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."
"The presentation of the data could be improved."
"The major area for improvement is the lack of a patch management feature to resolve some of the vulnerabilities detected."
"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."
"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."
"InsightVM is getting a little stale and is in danger of falling behind its competitors."
"Rapid7 InsightVM could be easier to use for those who are using it for the first time."
"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."
"In terms of improvements, its price could be better. Our main issue with Rapid7 is that it is too expensive."
"The reporting has room for improvement. You cannot customize any report."
"There is room for improvement on its cloud side. In the next release I would like to see better reporting."
"There have been instances where technical support takes a long time to update the status of a ticket, which is something that can be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of Arctic Wolf Managed Risk is reasonable compared to the competition."
"It depends on the company size quite a bit."
"Arctic Wolf Managed Risk is reasonably priced and I rate it a four out of ten."
"In some cases, we procure the licenses. In some cases, the customers directly buy the license from Rapid7."
"It is less expensive compared to other competitors."
"The product is cheaper than the other similar tools available in the market."
"Our licensing costs are somewhere around $40,000 annually. There are no additional fees."
"The solution's pricing is better than Nexus which charges a high amount for very little use."
"A full license for the solution is expensive because it is at the organizational level and not by individual users."
"We have an annual license to use Rapid7 InsightVM and if we want to extend it, we will possibly choose more than one year."
"We purchase annual licenses."
