"Better than most of the products in the market, but not the best"
What do you like best about InsightVM (Nexpose)?

Vulnerability views

Reporting

Dashboards

Tons of threat intelligence and research data integrated with the product by Rapid7. Stuff like Metasploit DB, AttackerKB and project Heisenberg are some of the best integrations.

Remediation Projects

Risk Scoring - the new Active Risk Scoring is awesome.

Scan Assistant (probably the best service for vuln scanning) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about InsightVM (Nexpose)?

The security console is a lot buggy.

Native Jira integration is not really native. Breaks all the time.

Sometimes it takes days to identify some vulnerabilities which is a major drawback especially for critical vulnerabilities (Jetbrains TeamCity CVSS10 vuln is one example, took it 3 days to identify vulnerable assets)

Too much administrative efforts to setup stuff. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Dynamic Asset Discovery feature in InsightVM platform provides fluidity to our inventory management"
What do you like best about InsightVM (Nexpose)?

InsightVM efficiently manages our cloud workloads through its robust agent installation. We can overview and scan all our images at various stages in deployment. We can also identify potential risks and prioritize handling vulnerabilities in our infrastructure. Since it is an agent-based platform, we can conveniently focus on our enhancements and let InsightVM take care of the underlying dependencies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about InsightVM (Nexpose)?

We need to keep track of our resource consumption & take suitable approaches for optimization. This can be tedious while working on InsightVM, but with adequate exposure, it's possible to make the best out of its functionalities.

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.
