Overview

Product Information on InsightVM

Updated 23rd October 2025

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.

InsightVM Pricing

InsightVM is a software that offers a subscription-based pricing model, typically structured according to the number of assets monitored within an organization. The cost varies based on asset volume and edition selected, with options for annual or multi-year terms. Additional modules and features may be available for separate purchase or as part of higher tier packages.

“Comprehensive Scanning Coverage, Customizable Dashboards, but False Positive Detections Occur”

5.0
Sep 30, 2025
Rapid7 has proven to be a reliable, capable and responsive partner. When we have issues or requests, their support, account and engineering teams have been very responsive to us. The Rapid7 IVM solution is robust and has served us well in a multi-cloud environment as we migrate many workloads to the public cloud.

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.

Performance of InsightVM Across Market Features

InsightVM Likes & Dislikes

Like

The product has robust dashboard capabilities and comprehensive scanning coverage that we've used to drive our vulnerability management program for a few dozen teams.

Like

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

Like

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.

Dislike

1) False positive detections of vulnerabilities could be improved 2) Performance has improved, but there has also been inconsistency with stability and performance at times 3) The support team is very responsive, but often requires escalation or several interactions to get to a meaningful response that truly addresses the issue.

Dislike

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

Dislike

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.

    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.
