We performed a comparison between Rapid7 InsightVM and Tableau based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Tenable, Qualys, Rapid7 and others in Risk-Based Vulnerability Management."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."
"I like Rapid7's scan optimization options."
"The most valuable features are its reporting capabilities and the host discovery functionality."
"We are very satisfied with the reports, as they provide us with the information that is required for our management."
"InsightVM's best features are the vulnerability database and remediation steps."
"The cost is what is most valuable. Compared to the other products on the market, the cost is more palatable."
"The ease of deployment and configuration allows users to onboard quickly."
"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."
"The solution allows for the possibility for end-users to do their own reporting."
"It's very easy to set everything up."
"When compared with Power BI, Tableau is much easier."
"I have found Tableau easy to use and the features are superb."
"It provides supporting data for critical policy and operational changes"
"One of the most valuable features of Tableau is that it's a visual analytics solution, not just a dashboarding solution. Compared to Power BI, which is a dashboarding solution, there are no limitations with Tableau. For example, when you add a chart or a map to Power BI, it has a 3,000-point limitation. When you try to track your whole vehicle on the map, you only see the first 3,000 rows on the map, and Power BI doesn't tell you which part of the data is shown on the map. But Tableau doesn't have any limitations, which means that you can see five million data points on a map. It starts the project by creating the visuals that directly converts to SQLs. In that way, all the components have no limitations. When we compared Tableau to Power BI, we also found Tableau to be more fancy. Fancy means you can create more visual graphics and more visual dashboards. With Power BI, this isn't so—it's just some tables and some simple charts together. Tableau is more for business users who want to analyze data. Tableau can directly connect the analytics systems, like R or Titan, and get the results in screen, so it's a good solution for analytics scientists. It has some predefined capabilities to understand the data."
"Tableau is very good in the front-end visualization compared to Power BI."
"It has been the best tool to work with from a self-service point of view."
"Rapid7 InsightVM could be easier to use for those who are using it for the first time."
"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."
"I would say that it improved our visibility, but it left things open."
"The InsightVM cannot scan if we connect to our customer by the VPN."
"They should improve the cybersecurity feature of the solution."
"There are end-user needs and expectations that are being overlooked in the development that could be addressed by appointing a customer advisory board."
"The on-premise updates could improve from Rapid7 InsightVM."
"This solution integrates with another module in Metasploit, that doesn't exist in the other solutions. It is subscribed to on our roadmap, but we chose to implement both Nexppose and AppSpider."
"Maybe the price could be a bit cheaper, especially if you're a personal developer that uses Tableau just to explore smaller data sets and you're not a company or something like that."
"The price of Tableau is too high."
"The charts need to be improved. The drawings and the visualization need to be more accurate."
"If you wanted to create something without making it an extra column in the data set, you can't just rename it to a more user-friendly short name."
"Areas for improvement would be visualization and augmented analytics. In the next release, I would like to see automated insights from the data added to the dashboard."
"The ability to use it on MAC machines. As far as I know, this is not possible."
"The only issue with the solution is with its prices at a regional level."
"Many things have to be improved in Tableau. Right now, we make the calculation, and then we get that information. It would be better if business users could do that. I would ask the people at Tableau to provide that option to business users to get that information in one click. It would be better if they automated some calculations. There should be more automation in Tableau. However, there are many things in automation mode, but it is very limited at the moment. We need automation for people who do not know much about Tableau. It would also be better if there were good community support like in Alteryx."
