The product is not a cloud solution. The tool can only be used as a hybrid solution, meaning it can be used on the cloud and on an on-premises deployment model. There are certain limitations because of the product being used on a hybrid model. Rapid7 InsightVM doesn't offer a solution purely in the cloud.

Competitors of Rapid7 InsightVM, like Tenable.io and Qualys, offer pure cloud solutions.

I have been using Rapid7 InsightVM for seven or eight years. My company serves as a distributor of the tool.

Sometimes, there were certain parts and programs of the product about which the customer used to complain.

Stability-wise, I rate the solution a six to seven out of ten.

It is a highly scalable solution. One of my company's customers uses the tool on 1,30,000 devices.

My company deals with clients who own small as well as enterprise-sized businesses.

In the past, the support offered for the product was good. Unfortunately, over a period of time, the support offered has become poor.

I rate the technical support a four to five out of ten.

Neutral

The product's initial setup phase was very easy.

The solution can be deployed in a few hours. The time required depends on the scale of the deployment. If there are 1,000 or 10,000 deployments to be done, then it takes time. If the customer provides a Q&A to calculate the design of the network, then the process becomes easier. If the customer does not know about their network, then the deployment process takes time since our company has to discuss several things with them before starting the process.

The product is cheaper than the other similar tools available in the market.

My company uses Rapid7 InsightVM to identify and assess vulnerabilities.

The product has improved our company's vulnerability remediation process. The tool finds vulnerabilities by scanning devices and networks. The solution is also useful in the area of database scanning.

The product area I find to be valuable in vulnerability management workflow stems from many aspects, like reporting, which is very useful. Rapid7 InsightVM's integration with Jira is also very effective and useful for end users. The coverage of the vulnerability offered by the product is very good. The GUI for Japanese users is good.

The product's integration capabilities have improved my company's security posture, as many other systems can be integrated with it. The export feature of the product helps users deal with other products like ServiceNow or Splunk.

The product is more useful for scanning than for its real-time visibility, but I can say that its functionalities come very close to real-time features. The product scans every six hours.

In large and diverse environments, the performance and the scalability of the product are not bad.

The product is easy to understand, making it good for companies that doesn't have much expertise in the area of security. It is an easy to use product. The product also provides a GUI in Japanese, while taking care of the reporting part efficiently, making it very convenient for the end users in Japan.

I rate the product's capacity to offer ease of use an eight out of ten.

I rate the overall tool a six to seven out of ten.

With InsightVM, I continuously monitor my network by setting up regular scans to identify vulnerabilities in real-time. It IS particularly useful for focusing on customer-facing systems at our perimeter, helping me prioritize and quickly address any security risks.

InsightVM offers a robust platform for identifying, prioritizing, and addressing vulnerabilities across an organization's IT infrastructure.

One area I would like to improve in InsightVM is its integration with other solutions, particularly for better compatibility with upcoming tools we plan to adopt. Enhanced functionality for budget management or change management databases could also be beneficial.

I have been working with InsightVM for over two years.

I would rate the stability of the solution as a nine out of ten.

InsightVM's scalability is top-notch and I would rate it a solid nine out of ten. Being a cloud-based solution, it effortlessly adjusts to accommodate varying needs and can easily scale from small to large environments.

Rapid7's technical support is highly responsive and helpful. I would rate them as a nine out of ten.

Positive

I chose Rapid7 over Tenable Nessus because of its better performance, comprehensive functionality, and stronger support for operating systems and services. While Tenable Nessus may be cheaper, it lacks integration with other features and is more suited for SMBs rather than enterprises.

Implementing InsightVM was straightforward. Setting it up to scan external networks at the perimeter was effortless; I just needed to create a cloud account and start using the solution. For internal network scanning, I installed the software on my notebook, which took about five to ten minutes for a single version setup, but it is important to note that it doesn't support Windows platforms.

InsightVM's pricing can vary depending on the coverage needed. While it may not be the cheapest option, purchasing an unlimited license could be cost-effective for larger environments. For smaller needs, it might be more expensive compared to competitors. I would rate the affordability of the product at a four out of ten.

I prioritize vulnerabilities in InsightVM by first focusing on customer-facing systems at our perimeter, which helps me quickly identify and address any security risks. Then, I utilize the cloud-based engine to scan internal networks and ensure comprehensive coverage without the need for complex on-premise solutions, making it easy to manage from my notebook connected to the internet.

Additionally, in InsightVM, we prioritize vulnerabilities by utilizing comprehensive data sources like the NVD and Rapid7's specialized risk calculation methods. The solution provides detailed information, including exploitability and impact, and evaluates whether vulnerabilities could be exploited in specific environments like NetApp.

I would recommend InsightVM to others. Overall, I would rate the product as an eight out of ten.

We handle a lot of video equipment and Rapid7 InsightVM helps us to scan subnets, around 150,000 of them.

Rapid7 InsightVM is more focused on proactive liability management. However, when there's an incident, our team can handle it, but it's not a top priority for me. I think having another solution, like a response automation tool, would be more helpful. Vulnerability management can't prevent incidents once they're in progress, but it's essential to prevent them before they happen.

The remediation project is pretty effective because it allows us to choose specific assets and set limitations on them for a certain period which allows us to track and follow up on those limitations.

However, when it comes to real-time monitoring and live dashboards, InsightVM doesn't quite fit the bill. It's not a real-time solution and is not instant.

Rapid7 InsightVM, has impressive capabilities, especially when it comes to managing video equipment. However, we've noticed that Rapid7 also offers a cloud solution called CloudSec, and we don't have that. We think it would be better if InsightVM had all the features for both on-premise and cloud management.

I have been using Rapid7 InsightVM for the past 6 years.

I would rate it nine out of ten, especially when it is deployed on Linux Box.

It is very scalable and I would rate it ten out of ten. 

As for deployment time, it varies based on the size of the organization and network sensitivity. For example, in a bank, scans might only happen at specific times, like during the night. Generally, deployment can be quick, but there are many factors to consider. You install the console and the scan engine, and then configure them based on network complexity. Scans themselves take less than 20-30 minutes, but the non-technical aspects, like setting up profiles and firewall rules, can take more time.I would rate it 8 out of 10. 

I would rate it 8 out of 10. 

It's a vulnerability scanning tool utilized within the vulnerability management process. We employ it to conduct internal vulnerability assessments of company or organizational host IPs.

It aids in enhancing the overall security posture within our organization. It uncovered numerous vulnerabilities that had been overlooked, which was quite beneficial.

The most valuable features are its reporting capabilities and the host discovery functionality.

The primary issue I encountered initially with this tool was related to configuration. There is a significant learning curve, that non-technical individuals, especially those not specialized in computer science or the information security industry, might face.

I have been working with it for six months.

I am satisfied with the stability provided.

The initial setup went smoothly, but after completing it, I encountered difficulties when attempting to use features like the dashboard and the scan now option. Specifically, I faced challenges with scanning the host, which proved to be quite frustrating.

The initial setup wasn't overly difficult, so it took me around one to two days due to troubleshooting issues. Overall deployment took about two to three days in total.

I highly recommend Rapid7 as my experience with it is very positive. Overall, I would rate it eight out of ten.

The core domain use of the solution is verification, scanning, and finding out the vulnerabilities in real time.

The ease of deployment and configuration allows users to onboard quickly, aligning smoothly with various functionalities.

The data sheet is good in pricing and promises. The customers are very price-conscious. You have to satisfy technical requirements. This combo makes the product valuable and usable.

Two things are consistent. The rest of the things run fine. The technical side does not respond quickly. They take a lot of time. The priority should be to respond to the customer to serve the customer.

I have been using Rapid7 InsightVM for more than three years.

The solution’s stability is good. It keeps on running. There are no system complaints.

The solution’s scalability is linked to the new scope and the cost.

We are actively seeking alternatives. If you can offer a better solution, superior after-sales service, and overall better everything, we would like to explore what you have to offer.

The initial setup is not so complex. It is quickly deployable configurable and integrated with your existing setup.

The common process for Rapid7 InsightVM involves comparing it against their standard procedures to ensure compliance with the required licenses and resources. Users download the necessary files and initiate/reactivate licenses. Certain configurations are also set up. This process typically takes two to three days for the department, but we usually allocate a week for completion.

Our team feels enabled enough after completing the training session on Rapid7 InsightVM. We conduct our tests independently, and whenever we need support, we seek assistance directly from Rapid7. This process isn't overly complex or time-consuming. We ensure thorough preparation by gathering all necessary information, addressing internet concerns, and informing the customer. Once fully prepared, we proceed forward.

The solution’s pricing is good because the value proposition delivers a report box. It is not very costly.

Since the product is cloud-based, there's no maintenance. Whatever the information or the customization of the customer needs to be confirmed. The hardware needs maintenance.

Overall, I rate the solution a six out of ten.
