Pros

InsightVM has good asset discover and management modules along with vulnerability scanning , management, exception modules and integration with different ticketing tools make it one of the best tools for VM.

Cons

Reporting features needs to be improved along with the removal of false positives. For Cisco devices, we faced a long line of false positives which even when contacted support team was not fixed.

The hardware requirement is a lot. The cloud is not helping much. If they can do everything on cloud is so good. We don't have to maintain the On-Premise server

Pros

Manage by Sites and Asset group is good. Because we can assing user to that site or group. Which is other software does not have

Cons

It seems difficult to use. I have to search everywhere just to scan 1 assets. It spent about 1 hour just to do a test scanning . After scan, the report is not automatically generated. You have to do it yourselft

It's as close to a one-stop pentesting application as it's possible to have. Recconnaisance, Access, Payload, Closure - all within one application. Sure, other applications and skills are necessary to carry out the most comprehensive report but this is the place to start.

Pros

The ability to conduct the full range of basic (and some advanced) penetration testing phases and techniques from within one application makes this the first port (pun intended) of call when initiating a report. Utilising the thousands of existing, and daily generated, custom-made add-ons makes this completely future-proof too. If there's still something missing, write yourself a script and import that too!

Cons

As a technical tool, it is not for the typical Windows user - this therefore necessitates a technical mindset to get it up and running and begin use. Arguably, given how powerful this tool can be, this is a good thing and it keeps it out of the hands of most people. However, it can make the use of some of the advanced functionality annoying if you're not a regular user, having to relearn each time.

I trialed Nexpose Community when our company started moving to a cloud hosting provider. I was very impressed. We ended up going with another provider, but when that contract expired, I proposed that we give InsightVM a shot instead of a renewal, remembering how much of a pleasure it was to use. Now, we're customers, and I don't regret my suggestion at all. I deployed a security console within an hour, and had it ingesting an inventory of every host in our cloud environment, whether Active Directory knew about it or not. Everyone from Compliance to IT speaks positively about it. They like the intuitive UI, the ability to get actionable data the moment the dashboard loads, and the fact that it's fully aware of both Microsoft and third-party vulnerabilities. I like the "risk score," a practical alternative to the typical CVSS rating. While the CVSS score is important, Rapid7 weights their score on factors such as practicality of exploitation and active targeting in the wild. I've suggested that we prioritize remediation based on the Rapid7 risk score rather than the CVSS score. I installed the Insight agent on a majority of our workstations, which sends data about any published vulnerability to the portal, whether in a Docker image, a third-party application, or the underlying OS. A couple customizations of the dashboard, and now we see comprehensive overview of the week's priorities at logon. It's great to have one dashboard for every environment!

Pros

Easy to install, intuitive UI, integration with cloud portal, agent (that feeds data to the cloud analytics portal), multi-platform.

Cons

Nothing -- Rapid7 is KILLING it. Since this field has a minimum length: maybe the only downside is that the security console requires a decent bit of RAM? I had to give it 8 GB to ensure stability. That said, it's running a web-based management interface, and the scan runtime is far faster and more reliable than our previous solution.

Great experience overall.. Will use it again. The support and sales teams helps you along the way.

Pros

Easy to use. Deployment was easy as well. Rapid7 is a very reputable organization and forefront of Cyber Security. I was able to find vulnerabilities I was looking for but the bonus was the stuff I did not have in mind. For instance, I did not consider APCs and other ancillary appliances.

Cons

Reporting can be better i.e. focused reports associated with Cyebr Security Frameworks like NIST etc.
