Enables time-saving automated scanning and brute force attacks
The most appreciated functionality of PortSwigger Burp Suite is its ability to perform brute force attacks automatically. Its automated scanning feature saves time. Additionally, using this tool provides significant security insights, making our testing process more efficient and comprehensive, leading to considerable time savings, which in turn translates to financial benefits.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product is easy to use."
"Parallel scans can be done with PortSwigger Burp Suite Enterprise Edition."
"The tool is loaded with many features that give us ROI."
"The product's initial setup phase was super easy."
"We are in the early stage of using the solution making it difficult to fully determine the best features. However, we have noticed the CMDB and device discovery features look valuable at this time."
"The most valuable part of it was probably the ability to intercept and modify calls."
"This tool helps identify vulnerabilities. We then provide the report to the developers, who address the issues identified automatically. Its most valuable feature is CI/CD integration."
"The solution's extensions really expand the capabilities and features offered by the installation."
"Rapid7 InsightVM is an on-premise type product that has helped us manage potential vulnerabilities effectively."
"Rapid7 InsightVM has given us a practical view of the vulnerabilities present in our organization."
"The most valuable features of Rapid7 InsightVM are the accurate level of scanning and the workflows are good."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the agent and the scanning."
"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"
"InsightVM is easy to use, has a well-defined dashboard, and can be customized according to your needs."
"Overall, it's a nice tool."
"When you connect any new device to the network, Rapid7 has the ability to detect the new device immediately. It can scan that device to detect if it has any vulnerability. It tells you what is vulnerable and what has been misconfigured. It also tells you what is the risk of that misconfiguration or lack of patches and how to resolve the problem."
 

Cons

"Scalability could be better."
"There are features or functionality missing, but PortSwigger Burp Suite Enterprise Edition does try to update frequently to alleviate the shortcomings."
"PortSwigger Burp Suite Enterprise Edition should incorporate a static code analysis feature. One main issue we encounter is false positives. False positives can be challenging for developers."
"The stability is a big issue. So many times the scans fail."
"The implementation of the solution is quite complicated and could be easier."
"It would be beneficial if Burp Suite provided predefined payloads for each attack category, such as SQL injection and cross-site scripting, to automate some tasks more effectively."
"The cost per license per user could be cheaper, specifically for individual licensing."
"The stability of the scans could be improved."
"Some difficulties with the online reporting and lack of integrations."
"Rapid7 InsightVM is expensive, possibly one of the highest in pricing among similar products."
"Within InsightVM, there is no feature to assign a ticket. If we can have more API calls, we can do that from InsightVM."
"Technical support does not respond quickly."
"I have had some difficult problems with InsightVM. The InsightVM cannot scan if we connect to our customer by the VPN."
"Rapid7 InsightVM could be easier to use for those who are using it for the first time."
"Rapid7 could be easier to manage. When you compare it to other similar solutions, it is a bit difficult to manage."
"Their customer support should be improved, and the effectiveness of scans also needs to be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The license is annual and this is the optimal approach when it comes to most software."
"Comparing the price with the value that we receive, I am not happy with it."
"The product is cheaper than the other similar tools available in the market."
"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."
"A full license for the solution is expensive because it is at the organizational level and not by individual users."
