About InsightVM (Nexpose)

InsightVM is a vulnerability management solution that provides continuous visibility and risk-based prioritization for assets across cloud, on-premise, and hybrid environments. It uses a combination of live scans and continuous monitoring to identify vulnerabilities and misconfigurations, then rates them based on real-world exploitability and business context. The platform offers intuitive dashboards and reporting capabilities that simplify vulnerability management and enhance visibility into security risks. With features like automated discovery, asset tagging, and integration with ITSM tools, InsightVM helps security teams prioritize remediation efforts where they matter most. It also supports Metasploit integration for validating exploitability and reduces false positives. InsightVM is part of the Rapid7 Insight platform, which leverages threat intelligence to provide context-aware risk scoring. The product is designed for security teams in mid-sized to large enterprises that need a comprehensive view of their attack surface. AiDOOS can enhance deployment and adoption by providing a dedicated implementation team that ensures rapid setup, integration with existing systems, and training for security staff, enabling organizations to maximize the value of their vulnerability management program and improve their overall security posture.

Challenges It Solves

  • Prioritizing vulnerability remediation based on real-world risk
  • Gaining continuous visibility across hybrid cloud and on-premise environments

"InsightVM (Nexpose): A Powerful and Proven Vulnerability Management Tool"
I've used this product for over a year and can confidently say it simplifies vulnerability management. The UI is user-friendly and easy to understand compared to other solutions. It clearly shows where weaknesses are and what to prioritize, making it highly useful for the vulnerability and patch management team. One thing I've noticed is that the search feature is a bit slow. As part of the patch management team, this tool provides complete vulnerability details, allowing us to prioritize patching effectively.

"Solid Vulnerability Management Solution"
It's easy to manage with good capabilities, and agent and network scans work as intended. Remediation projects are effective for patching, and you can set goals and SLAs. Reporting is available, though managing multiple scan jobs and asset tagging isn't granular enough for very large enterprises. Some network scans can cause network issues for endpoints. Overall, InsightVM (Nexpose) provides a good vulnerability management and risk mitigation solution with remediation capabilities, helping maintain SLAs and goals.

"Dynamic Asset Discovery in InsightVM Enhances Inventory Management Flexibility"
InsightVM efficiently manages our cloud workloads through its robust agent installation. We can overview and scan all our images at various deployment stages, identify potential risks, and prioritize vulnerability handling. Being agent-based, we can focus on enhancements while InsightVM manages underlying dependencies. We need to monitor resource consumption and optimize accordingly; this can be tedious with InsightVM, but with adequate exposure, it's possible to maximize its features. It helps build a resilient infrastructure compliant with security standards in our SDLC. Dynamic asset discovery is crucial for us as we frequently implement and decommission VMs; we can't manually check for drifts after each deployment. InsightVM provides fluidity to scan dynamically according to our cron schedules and take resource snapshots for quick reference. In case of a security breach, we can review the snapshots to troubleshoot and recover our customer-hosted VMs with minimal downtime.

"One of the Best Tools for Vulnerability Management"
InsightVM's agent-based scanning is incredibly beneficial. The dashboard is also impressive and makes it easy to review statistics. The only downside is that memory consumption can sometimes get very high. We use InsightVM for our cloud VMs.

"Premier Vulnerability Management Solution"
I've used this product for over six years and consider it the best for vulnerability management. They track all zero-days and update their database within 24 hours of new CVEs. The all-in-one dashboard offers multiple widgets, though integration with external ticketing tools is limited. We rely on it to stay informed about newly listed CVEs and receive notifications for zero-day or critical vulnerabilities. It helps reduce our risk score, ensuring timely patching, especially for Microsoft Tuesday patches and critical CVEs. It also helps us monitor EOS/EOL software. Overall, this product helps protect us from cyber attacks and reduce risks.

"Better than most products, but not the best"
Vulnerability views, reporting, dashboards, and the extensive threat intelligence and research data integrated by Rapid7, such as Metasploit DB, AttackerKB, and project Heisenberg, are excellent. Remediation Projects and the new Active Risk Scoring are great. Scan Assistant is probably the best service for vuln scanning. However, the security console is quite buggy. The native Jira integration is not truly native and breaks frequently. Sometimes it takes days to identify vulnerabilities, which is a major drawback, especially for critical ones like the Jetbrains TeamCity CVSS10 vulnerability that took three days to detect vulnerable assets. There is also too much administrative effort to set things up. Overall, InsightVM addresses all our vulnerability management needs, covering identification to remediation. It may not be fully mature, but it's far better than tools like Tenable, Qualys, and MS Defender that I've used before.

"Nexpose is an excellent tool for vulnerability identification."
InsightVM provides real-time visibility into the entire network, enabling continuous monitoring and immediate detection of vulnerabilities as they arise. It integrates seamlessly with various other security tools and systems, such as SIEMs, ticketing systems, and DevOps tools, streamlining the security workflow. The tool supports automated remediation workflows, significantly reducing the time and effort needed to address vulnerabilities. However, initial setup is complex. The cost is high compared to other tools. Some users have encountered false positives in scan results, leading to unnecessary remediation efforts and wasted resources. Nexpose helps identify vulnerabilities and provides remediation reports with real-time scanning capability. It also offers detailed compliance reporting, helping organizations meet standards like PCI-DSS, GDPR, and HIPAA.

"InsightVM's Actionable Risk Scoring and Live Dashboards Are Impressive"
I appreciate InsightVM's clear, actionable risk scoring and live dashboards that keep asset exposure prioritized and up to date. Some scans and dashboards can become heavy at scale, and custom reporting and tagging rules sometimes require extra tuning. InsightVM helps continuously discover and prioritize vulnerabilities across our hybrid environment, turning scan results into clear, ticketed remediation tasks that reduce risk exposure time and improve coordination with operations.
E

"Useful for Tracking Vulnerability Age in Compliance"
It allows tracking of vulnerability age for compliance purposes. However, you cannot sort by organizational criticality rating; you have to use a query that only works as a report. Additionally, you cannot view a list of assets instead of grouped vulnerabilities in the tracker, and the solutions are not specific enough to resolve the issues. Aligning with compliance is one of the main reasons we need to track vulnerability age.
S
Senior Information Security Analyst
"InsightVM Evaluation"
The tool offers scheduled vulnerability scans and connects with InsightIDR for log correlation. Even though it's advanced, it's quite user-friendly and simple to navigate. The risk scoring aligns well with common NVD scores, but there's some inconsistency and it's below industry standard. However, the remediation project feature enables our team to develop and monitor a remediation plan easily. It automates the entire vulnerability management process, eliminating the need for manual scans and rescans.
