Rapid7 NeXpose is widely used across organizations for various use cases related to vulnerability management and security assessment. With its powerful scanning capabilities, it allows users to discover vulnerabilities in their infrastructure, including cloud-based servers. Many users implement NeXpose as a pentesting tool to scan sensitive servers and identify weaknesses that could potentially be exploited by hackers. This helps organizations proactively address vulnerabilities before they can be exploited, enhancing overall security posture. Users have found NeXpose to be valuable for vulnerability scanning of both current assets and new build servers, providing asset owners with weekly reports to track trends and prioritize remediation efforts. Security consultants also rely on NeXpose for performing vulnerability assessments for their clients, leveraging its robust features such as risk classification, impact analysis, and reporting.
In addition to vulnerability management, Rapid7 NeXpose is often utilized for meeting regulatory requirements, such as PCI compliance. Organizations leverage the tagging features of NeXpose to easily sort scans and reports for different asset owners or teams, streamlining the vulnerability management process. Furthermore, the software serves as the primary vulnerability scanner across the organization, acting as the source of truth for identifying current vulnerabilities in the environment. It supports the discovery and assessment of devices on networks, encompassing physical servers, virtual servers, and cloud-based servers. Another notable use case is its integration with Rapid7 InsightVM, allowing centralized compliance and vulnerability management by scanning services or devices in the network and generating comprehensive reports on vulnerabilities and remediation actions.
Overall, Rapid7 NeXpose provides organizations with a reliable solution to discover vulnerabilities, mitigate risks, and maintain a strong security posture through regular scanning and assessment of their infrastructure.

Rapid7 Nexpose, not all it's cracked up to be
We currently use Rapid7 Nexpose for all Vulnerability scanning for current and new assets. Several asset groups have been created with assets owners receiving weekly reports for just the assets they own for a weekly snapshot to gauge their trending. We also utilize ad-hoc scans to ensure new devices do not have outstanding patches before being deployed.
- Creating Device Groups is very easy.
- The API tie ins work well.
- Frequent updates and console lockups.
- A lot of issues with scans running long out of nowhere, causing resource issues for the next scans.
- Once the initial setup is done, which does take some time and thought, it can be managed by one person.
- Emailing of weekly auto run reports to business owners is valuable.

I personally like Qualys much better. Out of the box, and the overall configuration is more natural, and the system itself is more stable.

A very good vulnerability scanner.
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.
- 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.
