"What I personally like very much, from my experience, is that it is very reliable.""The platform's most valuable feature is attack simulation."

More XM Cyber Pros →

Cons
"At the time I was using it, the graphical user interface needed some improvements.""Metasploit cannot be installed on a machine with an antivirus.""Advanced Infrastructure should be implemented in the next release for better orchestration.""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.""The solution should improve the responsiveness of its live technical support.""The solution is not very scalable, it does not provide any automation to be able to scale it.""I think areas with shortcomings that need improvement are more integration and automation."

    Overview

    Attackers are always developing new exploits and attack methods—Metasploit penetration testing software helps you use their own weapons against them. Utilizing an ever-growing database of exploits, you can safely simulate real-world attacks on your network to train your security team to spot and stop the real thing.

    XM Cyber is a leading hybrid cloud security company that’s changing the way innovative organizations approach cyber risk. Our attack path management platform continuously uncovers hidden attack paths to your critical assets across cloud and on-prem environments, so you can cut them off at key junctures and eradicate risk with a fraction of the effort. This overcomes the big disconnect that security teams experience when they’re presented with endless alerts, yet can’t see which exposures impact risk the most, how they come together to be exploited by an attacker, or how to efficiently eliminate them. This approach is a complete game-changer, which is why some of the world’s largest, most complex organizations choose XM Cyber to help eradicate risk. Founded by top executives from the Israeli cyber intelligence community, XM Cyber has offices in North America, Europe, and Israel.
