What is InsightVM?

Rapid7 InsightVM is an analytics-driven vulnerability management solution that provides continuous visibility into on-premises, cloud, and remote assets. The solution uses an Active Risk Score, enriched with real-world threat intelligence, to prioritize the most critical vulnerabilities most likely to be exploited. This approach empowers security and IT teams to stop chasing low-priority issues and focus on the highest-impact, most critical risks. To shift from reactive to proactive vulnerability resolution, InsightVM features automated remediation projects that integrate with ticketing systems like Jira and ServiceNow, streamlining collaboration and accelerating time-to-fix. The system provides live, customizable dashboards for tracking measurable risk reduction and compliance goals.

FAVORABLE

“Detailed Reporting and Risk-Based Remediation Balanced By Configuration Complexity Issues”

4.0

Oct 28, 2025

Our overall experience with InsightVM has been positive. The platform provides string visibility into vulnerabilities across our infrastructure and integrates well into our existing security stack. The dashboards are intuitive and make it easy to prioritize remediation based on real risk. Reporting is detailed and automation capabilities help steamline repetitive tasks. However, scan times can be long for large environments and some configuration steps are not as straight-forward as expected.

CRITICAL

“Limited Additional Value for Networking-Focused Environments Using Existing VPN Solutions”

3.0

Jul 17, 2025

Rapid 7 is a comprehensive suite, but for me it holds no extra value as I'm maily focused on networking and our VPN gives more insight. This is a very valuable tool for workspaces who manage our BYODs and gain quick insights into security risks etc.

InsightVM detects a wide range of vulnerabilities including those in operating systems, containers and cloud assets. The Real Risk Score and live dashboards help focus efforts on the issues that matter most. Integration with tools like Jira simplifies ticketing and response workflow.

Overview of all devices and current status Most urgent risks Filter per device/OS/version

Strong asset visibility across the environment, including network devices and printers attached Vulnerability proof identifies the source/root cause of the findings and helps isolate the specific remediation required Flexible reporting for technical teams and management Informative dashboards with actionable insights. Powerful querying and search capabilities to filter, analyse and export vulnerability data.

Large scans can take hours, which affects scheduling in production environments. Getting authenticated scans to work across diverse systems can be tricky. While informative, the dashboards can be somewhat rigid in their design for advanced users.

It's mostly redundant when you have other more capable tools available

Requires ongoing maintenance to keep asset data and scans optimised. However, InsightVM allows customisation of asset retention periods, ensuring that inactive assets are automatically removed after a defined period of inactivity.
