"It is a stable solution."
"The solution is good because it has a lot of options."
"The feature that I have found most valuable is its dashboards."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the vulnerability scan."
"The most valuable features of Rapid7 InsightVM are the accurate level of scanning and the workflows are good."
"Maybe scalability. I know that the Pentera right now is high level in order to scan big deals over 500 IPs and not less, and not less. That can be more granular. This will be useful."
"Pentera's general dashboards could be improved and made more specific in terms of vulnerabilities that I'm discovering."

"The vulnerability scanner, exploit achievements, and remediation actions are all great."

"Rapid7 InsightVM, has impressive capabilities, especially when it comes to managing video equipment. However, we've noticed that Rapid7 also offers a cloud solution called CloudSec, and we don't have that. We think it would be better if InsightVM had all the features for both on-premise and cloud management."
"It is still not a fully cloud-based solution. It will be helpful for customers if it is a complete cloud solution. It is a hybrid solution at the moment."
"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 would like to see more integration."
"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."
"We'd like the agent to cover more compliance issues."
