Rapid7 NeXpose

Rapid7 NeXpose is, generally, an impressive appliance. Although it is a hybrid (vulnerability scanner and penetration test tool), the pen tool is used specifically to validate vulnerabilities and is not intended to be used alone. This is typical of the way an attacker would attempt to penetrate a target.

At between $2,000 and $4,000 for the appliance, plus $25,000 for a class C license, Rapid7 Nexpose is not cheap. But it delivers a lot of bang for the buck and we rate it our Best Buy in the hybrid class. In the scanner-only class, we rate NetClarity’s Branch Auditor 5.0 a Best Buy for its powerful performance, ease of use and excellent documentation. We rate Saint Scanner + Exploit Recommended for its useful combination of scanner and penetration tool. Support is first rate with Core Impact 6.0 from Core Security Technologies. Although the product seems pricey at $25,000, that license covers an unlimited range of IP addresses. We rate Core Impact as Lab Approved for its comprehensive capability in a production environment, performance and ease of use.
