User Testimonials
	Metasploit	Rapid7 AppSpider
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	Rapid7 Rapid7 AppSpider could be your default DAST (Dynamic Application Security Testing), it covers the OWASP top 10 for web and APIs. Great tools, with a very nice and understandable report and analytics, work excellent for one-shot or continuous monitoring of your web assets. Also has a fair amount of integrations with other popular tools. Incentivized Randy Varela Offensive Security Engineer Lead 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	Rapid7 Does a great job scanning Single Page Apps as well as APIs etc. We use this weekly and have faced no scan errors due to process failures or accidentally DoSing etc. 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	Rapid7 Scan might be slow compared to other tools. Not a lot of training on the vendor side.

Support Rating	Rapid7 We don't use it. Incentivized Omar Israel Sánchez Monroy Auditor de Seguridad de la Información Read full review	Rapid7 No answers on this topic
Alternatives Considered	Rapid7 Metasploit is an all around good suite of tools to test and validate potential vulnerabilites. Other tools have bits and pecies such as Nmap, Nessus, Burp Suite, etc. but Metasploit can function in the same way but more. Incentivized Alan Matson, CCNA:S, MCP Senior Network Security Engineer Read full review	Rapid7 BurpSuite isn't a competitor necessarily but still for the price of a few hundred dollars per user it is a great tool, however, AppSpider blew it out of the water with its accuracy in terms of vulnerabilities reported as well as other aspects such as UI, customer support etc. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Return on Investment	Rapid7 If you prevent an attack you will save a lot of money. There is a free version that has a lot of useful exploits. You can run it in an open source OS. Incentivized Omar Israel Sánchez Monroy Auditor de Seguridad de la Información Read full review	Rapid7 Great ROI for consultant projects.
