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.

Manager at a financial services firm with 5,001-10,000 employees
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."
"Nexpose is one of the best solution on the market with very good development."
"The reports in Rapid7 InsightVM are useful when compared to competitors."
"InsightVM has a very organized GUI with ease of use."
"The feature that I have found most valuable is its dashboards."
"The discovery and prioritization of vulnerabilities."
"It's a relevant management tool."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"InsightVM provides a reliable and efficient solution with a very organized GUI, excellent ease of use, and reliable vulnerability scanning."
 

Cons

"We think there's room for improvement, especially with customizing NAVEX One. Their development on the roadmap can be slow."
"The reporting is very bad when you compare it with other vulnerability assessment tools."
"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 are certain limitations because of the product being used on a hybrid model. Rapid7 InsightVM doesn't offer a solution purely in the cloud."
"There is room for improvement on its cloud side. In the next release I would like to see better reporting."
"For the community edition one of the big issues is with the registration. Rapid 7 only supports paid domains for registration, so no .gmail.com, .yahoo.com domains."
"Some of our customers want to be completely cloud based, and Rapid7 doesn't offer this as an option."
"The drawback is that it is still not a fully SaaS solution, so you must deploy a console."
"I’d like to see Rapid7 InsightVM improve by adding a knowledge base similar to what Qualys offers. This would help us easily check and search for vulnerabilities using Rapid7 IDs associated with CVs or CVSS. From a features perspective, everything was fine at the time, and the security features of Rapid7 InsightVM were effective."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"NAVEX One's pricing comes in the middle range when compared to other products."
"Our licensing costs are somewhere around $40,000 annually. There are no additional fees."
"This solution is expensive, but it's fine for us as we have an open budget for security solutions. Protection and having the system secured is more important."
"Its licensing is yearly. Everything is included in the price for one year."
"In some cases, we procure the licenses. In some cases, the customers directly buy the license from Rapid7."
"We have an annual license to use Rapid7 InsightVM and if we want to extend it, we will possibly choose more than one year."
"The product is cheaper than the other similar tools available in the market."
"The solution is a bit more reasonably priced than other products."
"The price of the solution is less than the competitors."
