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.
There was a specific issue that our other security tooling did not pick up, but XM Cyber did.
It's reduced the timescale to remediate vulnerabilities that are identified as representing a high risk.
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.
The customer support is fantastic; it's probably some of the best we've received across all our security vendors.
Customer support for XM Cyber is good, responsive, and it follows up on issues.
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.
Its scalability is great; it's easy to deploy and fully scalable.
We have not experienced any issues with scalability or reached its limits.
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.
We have quite a complex and large IT estate, and we've certainly experienced no limitations or problems arising from the ability of XM Cyber's product to scale across that estate.
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.
We push the boundaries with digital twins; I understand XM Cyber uses a similar concept of graph databases to map environments.
They could improve support because when we need to create a super case and escalate to resolve with technical support, they resolve our ticket in approximately two weeks.
The part that can be improved is the mobile exposure and the IBM i specific equipment.
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.
We have a large, complicated estate, and in the licensing discussions, we were keen not to have the cost balloon because of the complication, the number of PCs and servers that we have.
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.
Our loss exposure amount has reduced significantly, leading to two big wins: our loss exposure amount has gone down, and we have direct savings from focusing our team's time on what's important, allowing them to work on other business benefits and generate value for the company.
By far, the best feature of XM Cyber is being able to map out the way vulnerabilities can be exploited based on what they call the choke points in the network where the path that a bad actor would take comes closest to assets within our environment that are most vulnerable but also most valuable.
XM Cyber allows us to quantify the risk, and we are able to track remediation, so we can quantify the risk at an executive level and also to a technical IT team.
