Overall Satisfaction with Metasploit

Metasploit is used by my organization to identify system weakness and attempt to exploit them to demonstrate the weakness. It is an easy tool used by the security team to identify, isolate, and demonstrate the weakness and allow for verification of the remediations. As an industry-recognized tool, there is no dispute from different vendors when using the tool.

Pros

  • Test known exploits
  • Segregated workspaces for different projects
  • Updated databases of exploits

Cons

  • Improve dashboard to allow C levels to better understand the concerns
  • Exporting the results or integrate with reporting tools
  • Options to manage the payloads
  • Accepted industry tool or brand
  • Easy to use
  • Wide database of exploits
  • Expensive for small teams or POC projects
  • Specialised skill sets required
  • Understanding how to to use features

Yes

Did implementation of Metasploit go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Metasploit again?

Yes

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.
