Information Security Business Enablement Mgr. at a insurance company with 5,001-10,000 employees
Useful for risk assessment and has customization capability
The tool helps us with security incidents, policies, business continuity, disaster recovery, and internal audits. The feature I like the most is its customization capability. It acts like a blank canvas where you can construct forms and workflows according to your needs. You can configure and customize a lot yourself, whether starting from scratch or using some out-of-the-box options. The solution has impacted our operations by helping us manage and prioritize environmental risks. It also assists in establishing ownership of risks and enables us to mitigate or mediate existing risks. Additionally, it facilitates tracking risks throughout their entire lifecycle.

Manages vulnerabilities effectively over time but needs improvement in web coverage and dashboard flexibility
Most of the dynamic asset tagging we use is manual, not dynamic. To manage the assets, we employed the manual approach because we have a limitation regarding the license, so we don't use the dynamic approach much. I don't know how the configuration assessment has assisted with meeting compliance standards. The product that we use is the on-premise solution where we configure assets and dynamically scan them. However, we use the default policies more, the template, so Rapid7 InsightVM on-premise version is not that effective in the web-related systems. However, it is best on the OS to identify and discover the OS-related vulnerabilities, more of open ports and the discovery of vulnerable ports or services. It would be better to improve Rapid7 InsightVM by including or working better to add web-related templates because it's not that effective in regard to web. I don't know if they may have a separate product regarding the web, but for the on-premise type, they are not strong in this area. I would prefer to see web-related templates in addition to improving the dashboard-related things because the dashboard has been constant for a very long time. It would be better to see various kinds of, perhaps a flexible type of dashboard. If it's not customizable at all, I would want to see the risk and asset over time with more flexibility. The current dashboard is not flexible in this regard; I have to dig down every day, so they should work on this as well, in addition to the web.

Pros

"The tool helps us with security incidents, policies, business continuity, disaster recovery, and internal audits. The feature I like the most is its customization capability. It acts like a blank canvas where you can construct forms and workflows according to your needs. You can configure and customize a lot yourself, whether starting from scratch or using some out-of-the-box options."
"The solution protects us from vulnerabilities, tells us about them, ranks them as critical or high risk, and allows us to take action immediately to protect our company from attacks."
"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."
"When you connect any new device to the network, Rapid7 has the ability to detect the new device immediately."
"Rapid 7 has positively impacted my organization by reducing the risk to the environment, specifically by reducing the number of vulnerabilities and the number of vulnerable hosts."
"The product's initial setup phase was very easy."
"The solution's user interface is good and has some vulnerability prioritization."
"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"
"The price is cheaper than other products on the market."
 

Cons

"We think there's room for improvement, especially with customizing NAVEX One. Their development on the roadmap can be slow."
"I think the improvement in the tool should be to provide a better update to users because sometimes the information within the cloud and the scanner are not synchronized very fast."
"There needs to be much clearer instructions surrounding scanning."
"The team needs to improve the speed and focus on the new bandwidth feed. Sometimes, it takes a while to scan, especially with new updates."
"It would be great to have a mobile application client."
"There is an annual license fee which is pretty expensive because it's price per aspect. The pricing could definitely be cheaper."
"Rapid7 could be easier to manage. When you compare it to other similar solutions, it is a bit difficult to manage."
"There are end-user needs and expectations that are being overlooked in the development that could be addressed by appointing a customer advisory board."
"We'd like the agent to cover more compliance issues."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"NAVEX One's pricing comes in the middle range when compared to other products."
"InsightVM is an expensive product, especially compared to its competitors, at around a million NOK per year."
"We purchase annual licenses."
"Comparing the price with the value that we receive, I am not happy with it."
"The price of the solution is less than the competitors."
"The solution is a bit more reasonably priced than other products."
"It is less expensive compared to other competitors."
"Pricing is reasonable because we pay according to asset usage. We can define our assets and sites according to our preference."
"A full license for the solution is expensive because it is at the organizational level and not by individual users."
