Listing updated . Checked by MSP Software .
Rapid7 InsightVM is a vulnerability management and scanning platform from Rapid7 for mid-market and enterprise MSPs to scan networks for vulnerabilities, misconfigurations and policy violations. The platform runs network-based scanning from distributed Scan Engines and supports authenticated scanning to detect missing patches and security misconfigurations on systems. InsightVM organises discovered assets into dynamic or static groups and uses risk scoring to prioritise remediation based on threat exposure and exploitability.
The platform supports compliance frameworks including CIS policy compliance, PCI and other standards, generating customizable reports from built-in templates or SQL queries. InsightVM deploys as an on-premises solution with a web-based Security Console for management and distributed Scan Engines for scanning infrastructure. This on-premises model appeals to MSPs serving clients with data residency requirements or those uncomfortable hosting vulnerability data in shared cloud infrastructure. The platform includes scheduled recurring scans, asset tagging for fine-grained risk adjustment, and multi-tenant capabilities for managing multiple client environments from a single console.
Rapid7 offers a RESTful API and pre-built integrations with platforms including ServiceNow, Splunk, AWS and Microsoft Defender for Cloud, enabling automation of remediation workflows. Pricing is not published on Rapid7's site; instead, InsightVM is available through tiered Exposure Command packages with quote-based pricing depending on asset count and feature tier. Essentials includes vulnerability management and attack surface scanning, while Ultimate adds cloud and application security findings. Contact Rapid7 sales for pricing based on your asset count and requirements. Rapid7 is based in Boston, USA.
InsightVM stands out for its on-premises deployment model and detailed compliance reporting, making it suitable for MSPs serving regulated industries or clients with data residency requirements. The platform is mature and well-established within Rapid7's product suite. Weakness is that pricing is not published, requiring a vendor conversation before evaluation; many MSPs prefer transparent pricing. Consider how the vulnerability scanning tier pricing compares to alternatives like Qualys VMDR or Tenable Vulnerability Management. Confirm the on-premises architecture meets your infrastructure needs and that your PSA or ticketing system integrates via API.
