Helps find vulnerabilities in a system to determine whether the system needs to be upgraded
The solution's exploit development functionality was easy to use and had all the scenarios I could use to run my security assessment. Since the solution has been updated regarding new malware, it gives data protection for security professionals. Rapid7 Metasploit is a good exploit tool, and users need to know what they're doing while using the solution. The solution provides perfect effectiveness in simulating real-world attacks for training purposes. Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

Doesn’t identify threats and vulnerabilities, and the reports are quite useless
We run the penetration testing and look at the reports. The reports are quite useless. We are looking for a different product. The tool did not help enhance our organization's cybersecurity posture. The reports had a lot of false positives. They didn't detect anything. The tool didn’t identify any vulnerabilities. The solution must detect threats and vulnerabilities.

Quotes from Members

"It's not possible to do penetration testing without being very proficient in Metasploit."
"All of the features are great."
