Rapid7 InsightVM is very much useful in using as a Centralized tool or console for Compliance and vulnerability management. It scans the services or devices in your network and generates reports based on its own database. This report include all the running vulnerabilities and also it gives details on remediation of it. So it becomes very much useful for handling vulnerability management and compliance requirement.
  • Automatic Scanning of devices
  • Good reporting
  • Easy to manage
  • Costing
  • False positive findings
Rapid7 InsightVM is well suited for large enterprises where it automatically detects new devices and start scanning it. So it completely eliminates the dependency of manually adding newly added services / devices for the scanning. Even same goes for the devices which are decommissioned. No need of manually removing it. So this way, it works very well with large enterprises as a Centralized tool for vulnerability and compliance management.
  • Automatic device addition or removal
  • User Friendly console
  • Easy to manage
  • Good reporting

As a financial institution, we have to be up and running securely 24x7x365. So be online is easier with Cloud services but security is concern when you operate in Cloud environment and that is where Rapid7 InsightVM helps us. Rapid7 InsightVM help us to scan our overall infrastructure including cloud infra. here we have complete glance our vulnerability and remediation.
  • Scanning Vulnerabilities
  • Checking Missing Configs
  • Asset Management
  • Policy Assessment has improvement needed
  • Shadow IT Host
Well, I would say It worked well in all aspects then Policy Assessments and Ghost Asset management. This need to improved because we are scanning many ghost host that are no longer anymore in system.
  • Live Dashboarding
  • Risk Prioritization
  • Container Security

  • Positive- Continue Monitoring
  • Positive- Great Reporting
  • Negative- Shadow IT is big mess
There is not major changes but I would like to say Remediation process is far organised then Qualys. Easy UI and Live dashboarding is add-on.

I have used Rapid7 Nexpose for performing vulnerability assessment scanning. It is a vulnerability management tool which can perform vulnerability scans and report the vulnerabilities. As a security consultant, I have used this tool to perform scans for our clients.
  • Being a vulnerability scanner tool, its purpose is to scan the systems to find the vulnerabilities. We can define the assets like IP address for the scans and it also allows to either schedule the scan at a preferred time or start the scan immediately. Upon completion of the scan, this tool can result provide the details like host type, OS information, hardware address, along with the vulnerabilities.
  • Rapid7 Nexpose has a list of templates to perform the scan. Once the templates are defined then the scans are performed accordingly.
  • It also contains an option to add credentials/authentication using passwords, usernames, private keys to perform the credential-based scans which I think is a great feature.
  • From my experience of using this tool, sometimes it gives more false positives. A few times I had performed the scan on the same IP address using Qualysguard and Nexpose, but after comparing the scan results I had found that Qualysguard had provided more accurate vulnerability information.
Being a vulnerability scanning tool, Rapid7 Nexpose is very well suited to perform vulnerability scans and document the scan results. Rapid7 Nexpose is well suited if someone wants to perform the credential/authentication scan for assets like public IP addresses. However, I think it is not appropriate when accurate scan results are required because of the number of false positives it provides.
  • It certainly has a more positive impact than negative impact while performing the scans. Nexpose can find report vulnerabilities that our other scanner fails to identify during the scan because of its defined scan templates.
  • Also, even if the scan is not being performed due to some issues like reachability, whitelisting, etc. it will try to give scan results unlike Qualysguard which just marks the asset as unreachable.
I think Rapid7 Nexpose is a very good vulnerability scanner compared to other vulnerability scanners in the market, although it lacks some accuracy and there is always room for improvement.
