"Not Just For Script Kiddies"
What do you like best about Metasploit?

I personally enjoy using Metasploit for the easy-to-use interface. This is critical when I require a demonstration of the actual vulnerability being exploited to a less-technical professional audience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Metasploit?

Nothing, personally. But for some Offensive Security professionals using/discussing Metasploit in a penetration testing setting can be polarizing. From both a custom tool/developer perspective and practical standpoint. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"One of the best tool for VAPT/WAPT"
What do you like best about Metasploit?

What I enjoy best about Metasploit is that it contains an extensive database of exploits that can be tailored to match the individual needs of the user. Metasploit can also be readily connected with other security tools such as vulnerability scanners, network analyzers, and IDS/IPS systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Metasploit?

One aspect of Metasploit that I dislike is its complexity and false positives for Complexity: For beginners, Metasploit might be complex and difficult to use, Metasploit, like any other security testing tool, can generate false positives, resulting in lost time and effort exploring non-existent vulnerabilities.

"Metasploit review"

As a Pen-tester, metasploit is the handy tool for any post exploitation lateral movement. The modules available are perfect and easy to use. only requires LHS & RHS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Metasploit?

User interface is not as good & the enhancement to GUI needs to be done. The CLI is good but when it comes to standalone GUI execution, its not an easy and is cumbersome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best Open source and Pentation Testing Tool"
What do you like best about Metasploit?

Metasploit pre-installed in kali Linux and made by rapid7, this is most of the time produce surprized results, which is helpful for penetration. A lot of exploits are available for exploitation and timely update by rapid7. This is very useful, especially in large engagements and Metasploit is a solid tool for exploiting and automating your work with more accuracy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Metasploit?

Sometimes searching for the right module and exploit is a very difficult and time-taking activity. Sometimes not updating the database for exploit the need to find out exploit from other sources. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
