Information Security Business Enablement Mgr. at a insurance company with 5,001-10,000 employees
Useful for risk assessment and has customization capability
The tool helps us with security incidents, policies, business continuity, disaster recovery, and internal audits. The feature I like the most is its customization capability. It acts like a blank canvas where you can construct forms and workflows according to your needs. You can configure and customize a lot yourself, whether starting from scratch or using some out-of-the-box options. The solution has impacted our operations by helping us manage and prioritize environmental risks. It also assists in establishing ownership of risks and enables us to mitigate or mediate existing risks. Additionally, it facilitates tracking risks throughout their entire lifecycle.

Offers robust compliance features but needs improved automation in remediation
The automation capability remediation needs improvement. The current process requires manually telling IT teams to remediate vulnerabilities, and then they update the status of these vulnerabilities in the platform. This basic feature that Rapid7 calls an automated remediation process is actually manual. We can update the status of vulnerabilities in the Rapid7 InsightVM platform and collectively see how many vulnerabilities we have identified and how many are remediated by our IT team. More automation in the remediation feature is a basic demand from many customers. The remediation part and vulnerability identification of network devices or rigid devices are not currently supported by Rapid7 InsightVM. More integration and automation are the two areas Rapid7 needs to improve in their product.

Pros

"The tool helps us with security incidents, policies, business continuity, disaster recovery, and internal audits. The feature I like the most is its customization capability. It acts like a blank canvas where you can construct forms and workflows according to your needs. You can configure and customize a lot yourself, whether starting from scratch or using some out-of-the-box options."
"Has great reporting features."
"InsightVM's best features are the vulnerability database and remediation steps."
"Rapid7 InsightVM has positively impacted my organization as after we identify the vulnerabilities, we stop them, leading to lower or reduced incident response and incident security."
"The main functionality of identifying item endpoints that weren't properly patched or had vulnerabilities is the solution's most valuable feature."
"It is good and fits well with pretty much all of our use case needs."
"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 product's initial setup phase was very easy."
"You can bring in and get online to do reports fairly quickly,"
 

Cons

"We think there's room for improvement, especially with customizing NAVEX One. Their development on the roadmap can be slow."
"The solution needs to improve its vulnerability design to include CVC results."
"Some of our customers want to be completely cloud based, and Rapid7 doesn't offer this as an option."
"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."
"One area I would like to improve in InsightVM is its integration with other solutions."
"It would be nice to have an additional feature that would provide reports on who has logged onto the console or who did what on the console."
"Rapid7 InsightVM should improve its threat intelligence."
"The on-premise updates could improve from Rapid7 InsightVM."
"The authentication scan is not working."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"NAVEX One's pricing comes in the middle range when compared to other products."
"The license is IP based. How many IPs you are using to scan is the amount of the license you have to buy. The number of users doesn't matter; many users can use it or only person. It depends on the culture of the organization."
"In some cases, we procure the licenses. In some cases, the customers directly buy the license from Rapid7."
"The license is annual and this is the optimal approach when it comes to most software."
"This solution is expensive, but it's fine for us as we have an open budget for security solutions. Protection and having the system secured is more important."
"It is less expensive compared to other competitors."
"The product is cheaper than the other similar tools available in the market."
"It is pretty expensive. It depends on what you consider pricey, however, if you only look at vulnerability management solutions, such as within VM or VMDR, there are, I suppose the prices are almost the same. But I believe you will discover that for yourself."
"InsightVM is an expensive product, especially compared to its competitors, at around a million NOK per year."
