Omar Israel Sánchez Monroy Auditor de Seguridad de la Información Chose Metasploit You can configure and develop your own versions of exploits that are suitable for your business.

Alan Matson, CCNA:S, MCP Senior Network Security Engineer Chose Metasploit Metasploit is an all around good suite of tools to test and validate potential vulnerabilites.

Verified User Engineer Chose Metasploit Metasploit is the most well-known tool in the average pen tester's toolkit. It's hard to compare to its neighbor's due to its size and following.

Likelihood to Recommend	Rapid7 It is easy to use with sufficient documentation on how to use the tools for end users or newbies. Experienced testers will find it easy to customise and configure the test cases. Just wished that I could have taken up a course on using this tool in my study days so that I could had explored more and improved my familiarity with the tool, unlike when working where access and time to explore the other features of the tool is limited Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	Rapid7 Scanning our network for new or existing vulnerable systems. Automation of manual tests and exploits to allow what used to be days of effort to be squeezed into hours. Metasploit has become an integral part in our validation of new systems before their inclusion in our production network. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	Rapid7 Have encountered issues with updating especially after moving from BackTrack to Kali. Sometimes it gets a little buggy, but that's a rare occurrence. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
