Offers contextual prioritization and risk-based remediation of vulnerability
An improvement would be some sort of an integration with any GRC suite. There are a lot of GRC suites available, like Archer, MetricStream, Rsam, Protiviti, for example. So how would a solution like this work if my company has already invested thousands or maybe millions in a GRC solution? Do I still need it and how does it fit into an existing SAP environment? There could be interoperability, having more data sources, integrating Splunk, Qualys, FireEye, Rapid7, Carbon Black. I'm sure all that can be done to an extent, with a little more insight and a little more accuracy on the industry numbers and trends. I'd like the solution to offer any sort of assistance in any way with the remediation part, not just identification of vulnerability risk, and that is second.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The risk context of any vulnerability is a valuable feature."
"This solution is very easy to use and easy to install."
"The most valuable features of Rapid7 InsightVM are the accurate level of scanning and the workflows are good."
"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."
"We can create our own templates."
"The most valuable feature for us is the different types of reporting it provides."
"It's a relevant management tool."
"The most valuable feature for me is the risk calculation based on monthly effects."
"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."
 

Cons

"An improvement would be some sort of an integration with any GRC suite."
"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."
"The drawback is that it is still not a fully SaaS solution, so you must deploy a console."
"I would say that it improved our visibility, but it left things open."
"Technical support does not respond quickly."
"InsightVM is getting a little stale and is in danger of falling behind its competitors."
"The solution could improve by being more secure."
"A definite improvement would be to make it easier to run ad-hoc scans without needing to assign the asset to a site or group."
"Some of our customers want to be completely cloud based, and Rapid7 doesn't offer this as an option."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I think the pricing is based on the number of endpoints, so it's more subscription-based."
"This solution is expensive, but it's fine for us as we have an open budget for security solutions. Protection and having the system secured is more important."
"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."
"The product is cheaper than the other similar tools available in the market."
"Its pricing depends on the number of users per month."
"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."
"It is less expensive compared to other competitors."
"The solution is a bit more reasonably priced than other products."
