Rapid7 InsightVM Reviews

InsightVM is mainly used for vulnerability management.

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. It can be customized according to the customer's needs - for example, if they have an asset that is more vulnerable, they can adjust the risk score according to their infrastructure. It also has a very robust dashboard system and good integration.

InsightVM could be improved by providing passive scanning as an option. They could also introduce license packages for fewer than 128 users for smaller organizations.

I've been using InsightVM for almost five years.

InsightVM is stable.

InsightVM has the option of implementing the scan engine separately, which helps with scalability.

InsightVM's technical support is very good.

InsightVM is easy to implement and deploy, even for small and medium businesses.

InsightVM's licensing starts at a minimum of 128 IPs and can scale up to over 1,000.

InsightVM is easy to use, has a well-defined dashboard, and can be customized according to your needs. You can also segregate your assets and define IP ranges. I would give InsightVM a rating of nine out of ten.

Their channel program and the process of their deal registration could be improved.

Some of our customers want to be completely cloud based, and Rapid7 doesn't offer this as an option. 

I have used this solution for one year. 

This solution is fairly stable.

This is a scalable solution suitable for large environments. 

We initially worked with Qualys and found that Qualys has a better reputation but it is expensive. Companies with bigger budgets and who would like a cloud solution, usually prefer Qualys. This is also because of the product maturity and the research they provide.

The challenge with Qualys is that they do not have any distributors in Pakistan. They do not have an on-premises product, which caters more towards the enterprise accounts in Pakistan. I prefer going with Rapid7 for this reason. Rapid7 have a good distribution network with good support and market presence. 

My advice is to explore many options and look at the integrations available. My personal experience is that only implementing vulnerability management doesn't solve all of the problems. We also needed evaluator integrations that provide preventative measures.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten. 

We are using Rapid7 InsightVM to have a vulnerability assessment solution in our organization to overcome the audit points.

We are at the stage where we are deciding if the solution will be useful for us or not.

We generate the reports for our IT sessions and try to take the recommended actions. After the action is made, we generate another report to check if this action covers the vulnerability points or not.

The reports in Rapid7 InsightVM are useful when compared to competitors.

Rapid7 InsightVM could be easier to use for those who are using it for the first time.

The updates should be fixed in the next release.

I have been using Rapid7 InsightVM for a few months.

The stability of Rapid7 InsightVM has been fine in the three months we have used it.

We are using a virtual environment with Rapid7 InsightVM and we can expand it if we want.

We have approximately three people using this solution in my company. We use the solution weekly or monthly. We would increase the use of the solution if our tests go well.

The support that we are receiving at this time is from our partner who handles the issue with the vendor if needed.

The initial setup was not straightforward because it was our first time doing it.

We did a POC first and this took us two months to make the environment. After we received the license we went into production.

We had a partner help us with the implementation of Rapid7 InsightVM.

We have an IT department that does the maintenance and support of Rapid7 InsightVM.

We have an annual license to use Rapid7 InsightVM and if we want to extend it, we will possibly choose more than one year.

I recommend this solution to others and for them to use a partner for the implementation. It can be difficult for the first time.

I rate Rapid7 InsightVM an eight out of ten.

We use it for vulnerability scanning.

The feature that I have found most valuable is its dashboards.

There is room for improvement on its cloud side.

In the next release I would like to see better reporting.

I have been using Rapid7 InsightVM for seven years.

It is stable.

Rapid7 InsightVM is scalable.

In my company, it is just my team of less than five people using it.

It requires one engineer for deployment and maintenance of the solution.

We do not have plans to increase the usage of the solution in the future.

Their customer support is really bad. On a scale of 1 to 10 I would probably give it a 1.

The initial cloud setup was difficult. It took months even though we worked with their professional services.

We used a consultant to implement.

We had a good return, but it could be better.

We pay 100,000 yearly.

We are thinking about changing right now. We have always used Rapid7, but we are thinking about changing now.

My advice to anyone considering Rapid7 InsightVM is to look at the other vendors first.

On a scale of one to ten, I would give Rapid7 InsightVM a 3.

Rapid7 InsightVM, like Tenable, is used to enforce the vulnerability management lifecycle.

We identify the assets, scan them, prioritize them, and have a remediation plan in place to address any vulnerabilities that are discovered.

A remediator scan is performed to determine whether or not the discovered vulnerabilities have been patched.

The performance is good.

Rapid7 could be easier to manage. When you compare it to other similar solutions, it is a bit difficult to manage.

The reporting could be improved.

I have been using Rapid7 InsightVM for two years.

At the time that it was used, I was using the latest version.

The installation is simple and quick; it only takes 10 minutes to complete.

I have used Tenable SC and Tenable.io, and you cannot compare to Tenable SC or Tenable.io with any other vulnerability solution.

Tenable has that supremacy. It is very easy to manage and very easy to understand. You don't need any prior knowledge or experience to install it; you can do it on your own. You don't need any additional assistance or help through a search on how to install or scan your assets.

Tenable has a very powerful reporting engine but needs to be enhanced.

Tenable is number one, Rapid7 comes second.

I would rate Rapid7 a six out of ten.

We use a hybrid setup. Some dashboards and configurations are uploaded to the Cloud, and some of them are on-premises. The main engine is on-premises. We have about 12 customers and some of them are big companies. 

There are a few main features that we are very happy with. Using Rapid7, we can install a scan engine, we can do our VPN connections, and we can conduct internal scans of remote sites. We prefer the web application. It's smarter and more accurate from an application perspective.

The integration with other solutions like JIRA could be better. Perhaps there could be some additional updates in the next phase that could integrate with it, so then you can proceed with the VT much easier.

I've been using Rapid7 for about two years.

From a scalability standpoint, it's good because they give you around 100%. If you want to increase your asset counts, for example, they give you permission for 100% above the limit that you pay for.

Their support is very good. Technical support varies from person to person. Some cases have taken some time, but once it was escalated, everything was done well and the problem was solved. We've had some cases involving integration, remote sites, and some special configurations. They provided us with some support on all that.  

It's straightforward. Everything is like setting up Lego cubes. It doesn't take much time to deploy. The first deployment may take around an hour or two.

The license could be a little bit cheaper. For all these features, you would expect to pay a little bit lower but around the same general price. Licenses are paid yearly. For some customers, we pay two years at a time, but mostly it's yearly.

I would rate it nine out of 10.

We use this solution for our internal server for scanning. We can scan for vulnerabilities and locate them.

We also generate reports for the patching team. We assign tasks to the patching team.

It's a relevant management tool. 

It has some useful automation features. The report generating and the scanning are very helpful.

It would be very helpful to have integration. There are many plugins that can be used for tasks that would help the visibility and be able to locate the exact problem.

I would like to see more integration. 

I would also like to see more flexibility when scheduling the scans. We should be able to schedule scans when we want them to be scheduled. Currently, they have to be scheduled before a certain day of the week.

I have been using Rapid7 InsightVm for six months during my internship.

Rapid7 InsightVM is a stable product.

We have no issues with the scalability of this solution. We have a vulnerability management team of four who are using it, and in our organization, we have approximately 20 people, including management.

Technical support is good.

I have used Tenable Nessus previously for my personal projects. I used it for scanning for my projects in college.

I was not involved in the installation. It was already installed previously.

Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis.

I would recommend this solution to others, but more integration features would be more helpful.

I would rate Rapid7 InsightVM an eight out of ten.

We are using InsightVM for vulnerability management services. We use it for providing professional services to our customers, and we also use it for our internal use.

We do on-premises and cloud deployments.

I really love the new platform. It is really easy to understand, use, and deploy. 

Their support is very professional and good at troubleshooting issues.

It would be great to have a mobile application client. Currently, you have to use a mobile web browser on a device, but it is not similar to the desktop web browser in terms of user experience. It would be nice to have a mobile application to access the platform. 

It would be nice to have someone in the technical support team who speaks Italian. 

We have been in a partnership with Rapid7 for five years.

It is absolutely stable.

It is scalable. We have 40 customers who are using this solution.

Their technical support is great, but it would be nice to have someone in the technical support team who speaks Italian. 

We speak Italian with Safeguy. So, sometimes, Safeguy's technical teams also help us.

Its initial setup is easy and quick. We are typically able to deploy it in a couple of hours.

We have 15 certified and dedicated engineers to handle its deployment and maintenance.

In some cases, we procure the licenses. In some cases, the customers directly buy the license from Rapid7.

I would rate Rapid7 InsightVM a nine out of 10.
