"InsightVM(Nexpose) : A powerful tool for Vulnerability management, Tried and Tested."

4.5/5

What do you like best about InsightVM (Nexpose)?

I've used this product for more than a year, and I can state with pride that it makes vulnerability management incredibly simple. Comparatively speaking to other solutions on the market, the UI is user-friendly and simple to comprehend. This tool makes it crystal evident where the weaknesses are and what needs to be given top priority. For the vulnerability and patch management team, this tool is highly helpful.

One thing I found so far that Search feature is a bit slow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Helped me manage my assets and the whole threat and vulnerability management with ease."

5/5

Remediation projects helped a lot in assigning open findings with stakeholders and tracking in live. Assets tagging is another feature that helped me bifurcate and categorized my assets basis their criticality and exposure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about InsightVM (Nexpose)?

Memory consumption sometimes is at its peak. Apart from that, compared to other VM tools it has enough features with other tool even dont have as a whole solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great vulnerability insights with multiple features"

4.5/5

What do you like best about InsightVM (Nexpose)?

No one can beat the insight VM inbuilt and customized Dashboards, query builders, best remediation module, and reporting filters. The scanning coverage, options, and authentication mechanism are good. The vulnerability identification with metasploitable modules, public exploit, and steps to replicate helps a lot. Automation features and cloud configuration assessment features are really useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about InsightVM (Nexpose)?

The tool does not have a real-time threat protection module, and data shown after running query builder doesn't have much more info to export. Application and Operating system-related vulnerabilities cannot be exported separately. InsightVM support needs to improve the response time. Do not support lot of integration from UI, API integration is bit complex Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Flexible and evolving project"

4.5/5

What do you like best about InsightVM (Nexpose)?

InsightVM has been flexible enough to meet a variety of our vulnerability management and reporting needs across a few business units. The cloud integrations are great and allow us to feed information to other departments for remediation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about InsightVM (Nexpose)?

Setup can still be a bit clunky. Some bugs in complex vulnerability checks can take a long time to be fixed. It can be difficult to set up reports to be concise until you have a good feel for the different options available in the console. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering InsightVM (Nexpose):

Don't forget to consider the cloud portion of InsightVM versus the on-prem only version (Nexpose). I've found the cloud portion allows for folks who don't need to be in the tool daily (managers and executives) to still get value without needing to learn a new tool. It is also super useful for dashboarding. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is InsightVM (Nexpose) solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are using InsightVM along with InsightIDR to inform our vulnerability management program and measure patching and remediation SLAs. Before, calculating SLAs was entirely manual and a huge time sink. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
