"In order to underscore the importance of fundamental security practices like proactive patch management, the security team presented a Nexpose report and then used Metasploit to prove that those vulnerabilities were actually very real and exploitable. The demonstration took only minutes."
"Verdict: For a large enterprise – really, no matter how large – this product is well worth your consideration. It brings the power of significant functionality with a history of reliability and excellent support options."
"Fast-forward to today, and we consider them more than just a vendor – they’re a full partner."
“Rapid7’s ability to listen and work with us was a differentiator. They know how to work with higher education and worked diligently to understand it. Rapid7 has helped us build a world-class vulnerability detection system with Nexpose.”
“Nexpose catches stuff others won’t. It’s shown no falsepositives, The systems administrators were nervous about patching servers, They were afraid of breaking them.”
“Rapid7 has already provided our company with more meaningful, proactive vulnerability management process to improve our security posture, so adding further support with Metasploit Pro was a clear next step."
“[In Nexpose] I can customize the report to show me just the information I need. It’s saved hours of my time – previously, it could take 45 minutes just to create the report. Now it’s only 10 minutes to do everything: pull the report, name it, and send it.”
“Immediately, the information began flowing in a very manageable way. It was easy to see the value in the product – it alerted us to the presence of malware that was easily eliminated, but that we might not otherwise have known about.”
“False positive rates are extremely important; that’s practically a given. So of course our team wants to minimize false positives as much as possible. Coverage was also a key consideration – we don’t want to have to get tons of partners to achieve the necessary results.”
“We have a very good understanding of our network, which means we can invest time in a specific area that might ultimately benefit the university more broadly. Nexpose helps us be efficient with resources by identifying areas that need more attention, where improvement will have a positive impact on our overall risk score.”
“[Role-based access] gives system administrators around the campus a sense of empowerment.”
“The level of detail and reporting from Nexpose is way ahead of other products. I instantly saw how it would make life easier – and it has succeeded.”
“What made it easy for us to get to the point where we could give [management] the little piece of information that they needed was having a tool like Nexpose in the background so that we could adequately and accurately see where we were for that vulnerability.”
“Rapid7 allows us to address multiple facets of an information security strategy, and that's very important to us.”
“I found Nexpose was the most intuitive and easy to follow. I would be able to pick it up, use it, and be productive in a short amount of time."
