Pros

"ICSE is cheaper compared to other tools and has a pleasant user experience with good support."
"ICSE is cheaper compared to other tools and has a pleasant user experience with good support."
"The tool provides centralized visibility through dashboards and alerts, allowing customers to receive reports on cloud vulnerabilities and security posture. Rapid7 InsightCloudSec provides customers with a robust understanding of cloud security."
"Agentless scanning is a possible use with Rapid7 InsightCloudSec."
"The tool's most valuable feature is workload protection for Kubernetes and container security. It has agents that identify bugs or lack of security on runtime containers."
"It runs every hour and has been reliable since I started."
"The most valuable features of the solution are discovery, cloud governance, event management, and service mapping."
"The solution is saving time by providing templates, reducing duplication in rule configuration, and offering efficient alert management."
"It helps streamline management and processes."
"The initial setup is very straightforward. A person just needs to join a team to access the network and that's all."
"ServiceNow IT Operations Management is a stable product."
"It is a very stable solution."
"The dashboard maintenance is very good, and the tool doesn't get stuck."
"The solution allows you to subscribe to the features you need and utilize CMDB, ITSM, and discovery on the same platform."
 

Cons

"Rapid7 InsightCloudSec could be better at showing dashboards for virtual firewalls and appliances. Compared to other solutions like Palo Alto, this area is not as good. So, they should work on improving this for virtual devices."
"The login piece needs improvement."
"They didn't have any documentation on how to patch it."
"Technical support could be better. It could also be easier, more user-friendly, and intuitive. The API keys aren't easy to understand, and the cloud layouts aren't intuitive and user-friendly. We should be able to integrate IM governance and APIs into non-compliant workloads like legacy solutions."
"A couple of modules are missing when compared to other providers, specifically related to some IAM, and the login piece needs improvement."
"There are a lot of other solutions in the market, not only providing the features of a CSPM, but also CNAPP."
"The tool needs to improve its documentation."
"The pattern part can be improved. Patterns are used in the Discovery feature. Although it is easy to create new patterns and modify the existing ones, it would be better if this solution can have more out-of-the-box patterns. In terms of new features, they can include artificial intelligence, something like machine learning."
"The service discovery tool should include HR automations that automatically remove an employee who is leaving."
"Lacks the ability to do its own monitoring."
"Service Mapping is a time-consuming process. The time and effort versus the benefits are very difficult to articulate to customers."
"ServiceNow IT Operations Management could be improved by providing more user customization options."
"The solution needs to add mobilization, where we can connect mobile devices or wireless devices to do wireless scanning and bring assets into the database."
"ServiceNow's pricing is expensive. A more streamlined configuration process tailored to use cases and industry would be beneficial."
"The initial setup phase was hard and could be made easier."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"While not entirely sure, I believe the solution costs at least a million dollars annually."
"It is moderately expensive. The pricing itself and the licensing options are depending on the model and the customization."
"This solution offers good value but comes at a very high premium. Pricing could be reduced by 10 to 20%."

"The price of ServiceNow IT Operations Management is expensive."
