Rapid7 InsightConnect vs. Tenable Security Center

Where Rapid7 InsightConnect excels is in environments needing the whole suite of virus protection and monitoring. In our environment we use it to make sure we have visibility over all endpoints, servers, hosts, and clusters to make sure that there are no vulnerabilities being left unattended too. It is also best in large environments. Since there are many endpoints, the automation from Rapid7 helps manage them all in an efficient manner.

[Tenable.sc (formerly SecurityCenter)] does very well for internal scanning for vulnerabilities, however it needs to be combined with Tenable.io in order to do cloud scanning.

• The most significant difference is that we no longer have to examine endpoints and devices separately.
• The cost.
• The impact on the safety and efficiency of our business.

Incentivized

• Vulnerability management from one place

• It would be great if Rapid7 InsightConnect could be configured based on pre determined specifications when installing the agent.
• We've noticed that at times, there are certain network parameters needed in order for Rapid7 to collect and report data efficiently.
• Sometimes there are issues with the discovery scan in Rapid7 making it hard to configure in the beginning.

• Centralized vulnerability management with sensors.
• Network health assessment and Incident response.
• For alerting or notification, it should also support the SMS gateway.

Palo Alto was slightly cheaper, but more complex and would need the training to be effective. Splunk was comparative from a price standpoint, but the automation features of Rapid7 InsightConnect outweighed those of Splunk SOAR. Honestly, all of these are great choices, but for our environment, it made more sense to go with Rapid7.

We decided to go with Tenable due to its robust reporting capabilities and competitive pricing vs its competitors. While all tools are very similar in regards to scanning capabilities we prefer Tenable SC's user interface. We also like the option to have both on-prem and cloud with theirs. Tenable io product as well.
