Find out in this report how the two Vulnerability Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI.
Metasploit has helped save time, especially with testing websites or VIPD projects.
The ROI can be very rapid for organizations using vulnerability assessment for the first time.
Support is not available promptly, especially when issues are escalated to another region.
Sometimes support requests coincide with holidays in their support region, causing slight delays.
I cannot comment specifically regarding the support part because I have never needed Rapid7 support for the InsightVM solution as it is very stable.
Rapid7 sometimes struggles with queries from non-security people, whereas Tenable is more patient.
The customer support is excellent
Scalability in the Rapid7 InsightVM solution is straightforward.
Rapid7 InsightVM is recommended for large-scale companies with more than 30,000 users.
According to the environment requirements, we can scale the solution as needed.
Metasploit can handle big projects and is already prepared for them.
Rapid7 Metasploit is highly scalable.
Rapid7 Metasploit has limited scalability based on my experience, as the customer receives the full functionality of the product with the license.
We have not faced any issues with stability, and I would rate it a nine out of ten.
The stability of Rapid7 InsightVM is excellent.
There have been some challenges, especially with support response times, which affect stability.
I have never faced any technical issues or downtimes.
I find Metasploit to be very stable, and I would rate its stability as a nine out of ten.
Having the ability to build our own audit file, similar to a feature in Tenable, would be beneficial.
The major improvement needed is prompt support.
The current process requires manually telling IT teams to remediate vulnerabilities, and then they update the status of these vulnerabilities in the platform.
While you can check the vulnerability, and the system will tell you there is no vulnerability, usually, a human can change one, two, or three parameters and using the same technique and the same scripts can break the system.
The database is not always updated with the latest vulnerabilities or zero-day exploits.
The time taken to fetch reports based on the number of events can be extensive.
Rapid7 InsightVM is expensive, possibly one of the highest in pricing among similar products.
Pricing is reasonable and competitive compared to other solutions in the market.
I would rate the pricing for Rapid7 InsightVM as eight out of ten.
The cost is approximately $15 per device.
Metasploit is cheaper than Nessus and offers a more robust community edition that provides a good experience for studying Metasploit.
After that, they usually purchase the commercial part of the solution due to its deep integration with InsightVM.
It's based on the CVSS risk scoring system, which is well-recognized and effective.
The dashboard is excellent as it helps in visualizing our vulnerability management data.
We have integrated our SIEM solutions and antivirus with each other through Rapid7.
Rapid7 offers comprehensive features within one platform, eliminating the need to integrate multiple tools to see all alerts in one place.
InsightVM searches for potential threats and vulnerabilities of the infrastructure, and after that, Rapid7 Metasploit validates whether we can break the system using this vulnerability or threat, serving as a validator component of the InsightVM solution.
The most valuable features of Metasploit include its powerful capabilities for exploitation and scanning.
