Brilliant audit report and scorecard but scans often get blocked by firewalls
Our company uses the Nexpose automation tools for validity, deactivation, assessment, and penetration testing. We can easily see if something has been exposed and manually focus on or follow main vulnerabilities.  We have 28 users and a JV license key for using the solution in our offline systems…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"ObserveIT is small, easy to use, easy to deploy, and is not complicated, so it's more generally suited for only SMBs. It's a good value with a cheaper price."
"most valuable features of Rapid7 InsightVM for me are creating dynamic asset tags, generating reports, and deploying the agent. The agent scans assets every four hours, providing real-time data on any devices. Although there weren't any significant new features compared to our previous tool, having both SIEM and vulnerability management handled by one tool made things easier. We could gather logs from different devices and cloud sources, and perform detailed investigations without switching tools. I haven't worked with the automation capabilities of InsightVM. For remediation prioritization, we check the vulnerability, search for solutions on open platforms, and work with different teams to apply patches after proper testing. Currently, we don’t have any AI or ASM projects assisted by InsightVM"
"The discovery and prioritization of vulnerabilities."
"I like Rapid7's scan optimization options."
"It's easy to use. It's fast, it's a powerful easy to access tool."
"Rapid7 InsightVM has given us a practical view of the vulnerabilities present in our organization."
"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."
"The solution is automatically scheduled so it runs by itself."
"Rapid7 have a good distribution network with good support and market presence."
 

Cons

"ObserveIT is not scalable and it's not for the medium to large corporations. It's for the smaller environments. For the larger corporations, we have other scalable solutions."
"There was functionality present previously, however, currently, we can't integrate directly with Jira Service Desk - only the cloud version."
"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 solution needs to improve its vulnerability design to include CVC results."
"The solution should include a tighter integration with third-party threat modeling and threat intelligence tools."
"InsightVM is getting a little stale and is in danger of falling behind its competitors."
"Within InsightVM, there is no feature to assign a ticket. If we can have more API calls, we can do that from InsightVM."
"The product does not have the capability to do dynamic scanning of non-web applications."
"There are end-user needs and expectations that are being overlooked in the development that could be addressed by appointing a customer advisory board."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice
