Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The tool is loaded with many features that give us ROI.""The initial setup is straightforward.""I like normal dynamic scanning, general web applications scanning, and vulnerability assessments.""We are in the early stage of using the solution making it difficult to fully determine the best features. However, we have noticed the CMDB and device discovery features look valuable at this time.""Parallel scans can be done with PortSwigger Burp Suite Enterprise Edition.""The product's initial setup phase was super easy.""The most valuable features of PortSwigger Burp Suite Enterprise Edition are the vast amount of options and ease of use. They frequently improve the solution every six months to a year. Additionally, if we want any more features we can upload a custom script to meet our needs.""The product is easy to use."

"Rapid7 Metasploit is a useful product.""The most valuable features of the solution are the scripts, the modules, and the tools that the Rapid7 Metasploit framework has.""The tool's most useful feature for penetration testing is its automation capabilities. With the professional edition, you can upload the results from Nessus in the Rapid7 Metasploit solution portal.""Technical support has been helpful and responsive.""The solution is open source and has many small targetted penetration tests that have been written by many people that are useful. You can choose different subjects for the test, such as Oracle databases or Apache servers.""The Search Engineering feature is good.""The option to generate phishing emails has proven to be very valuable in understanding the behavior of users.""The greatest advantage of Rapid7 Metasploit is that it is the only system that can directly exploit vulnerabilities on the Metasploit platform."

Cons
"It would be better if the solution is cloud-based.""The product needs to have the ability to evaluate more.""The implementation of the solution is quite complicated and could be easier.""The cost per license per user could be cheaper, specifically for individual licensing.""There are features or functionality missing, but PortSwigger Burp Suite Enterprise Edition does try to update frequently to alleviate the shortcomings.""The stability of the scans could be improved.""There's definitely room for improvement. There are lots of false positives. Once I do the manual assessment, it comes as a false positive. They need to improve the Enterprise Edition, especially the part that gives false positives.""The solution is a bit expensive."

More PortSwigger Burp Suite Enterprise Edition Cons →

"The solution is not very scalable, it does not provide any automation to be able to scale it.""It is necessary to add some training materials and a tutorial for beginners.""Rapid7 Metasploit could be made easier for new users to learn.""The solution is not user-friendly and has room for improvement.""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.""There are numerous outdated exploits in their database that should be updated.""I would like to see more capabilities, more functions, and more features. More types of attack vectors.""Advanced Infrastructure should be implemented in the next release for better orchestration."
