Find out what your peers are saying about Tenable, Wiz, SentinelOne and others in Vulnerability Management."It is extremely stable, and can expand as per our needs due to its stability."
"The solution is very good at preventing intrusions. You can definitely rely on this solution to cover your security."
"We use it to protect files and to prevent users from browsing them while they are being used."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the security aspects."
"The dashboard is very simple. It has an easy to use interface."
"The biggest thing, for us lately, has been their cloud tools. They're like Intercept X from Sophos, where they'll test for ransomware. Fortinet has the same sort of set up with their cloud devices. So your firewall picks up something suspicious, it sends it up to the cloud for analysis. We also have their in-house antivirus. Having different antivirus checkpoints throughout the network is a good thing as well."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten."
"It allows us to concentrate solely on identified vulnerabilities without the hassle of additional setup."
"Technical support has been helpful and responsive."
"It is scalable. It's in line with our needs."
"The greatest advantage of Rapid7 Metasploit is that it is the only system that can directly exploit vulnerabilities on the Metasploit platform."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the scripts, the modules, and the tools that the Rapid7 Metasploit framework has."
"Rapid7 Metasploit is a useful product."
"The reporting on the solution is good."
"The pricing of this solution is a little bit on the high side and can be improved."
"I'm an old-school guy. I really don't like web GUI interfaces. They're always slow and laggy and their design is restricted, whereas a binary deployment for an admin tool is always faster, easier, more flexible. I would like that kind of functionality from Fortinet."
"We had some issues trying to fix some critical bugs, such as the SSL encryption."
"They need to improve the web filter to make it more user-friendly."
"I would like better APIs and integration with other products, like Python and SQL."
"Some use case analyses could be improved."
"If your company's patch is not up to date, but you have other detection or defense solutions such as endpoint detection and response and antivirus software, the product exploit may not work effectively. This is because its exploit database update process is slow and not real-time. For zero-day vulnerabilities or new security threats, relying on Rapid7 Metasploit alone may not be effective."
"It is necessary to add some training materials and a tutorial for beginners."
"We'd like them to offer better coverage of malware."
"Metasploit cannot be installed on a machine with an antivirus."
"I think areas with shortcomings that need improvement are more integration and automation."
"The solution is not user-friendly and has room for improvement."
"The initial setup was a bit "tweaky" for the open-source version."
"The open-source version has reporting limitations. You need to develop these capabilities yourself. Built-in reporting is an excellent feature for penetration testing, but it isn't a must-have. The solution could also cover more vulnerabilities. Metasploit has around 10,000 exploits in its library, but more is always better."
