vRx's real time vulnerability detection, contextual prioritization, and native patching provide organizations with the tools they need to efficiently reduce risk
vRx’s cloud-based vulnerability detection works in real-time to relay the latest risks in your environment to our sleek and intuitive dashboard. No matter the nature of the vulnerability, vRx offers a mitigation for it right out of the box. Compared with something like InsightVM from Rapid7’s methodology of periodic and often infrequent scans, this allows us to discover vulnerabilities much more rapidly. Furthermore, we have a fully featured patch management suite built in - this results in automatic patch deployment and, ultimately, closing the patch gap.
vRx's end-to-end approach and continuous scanning reduces vulnerability detection time to the same day it is introduced to your environment versus point-in-time scanners which are typically run monthly

Top Reasons to Choose vRx over Rapid7
Real-Time Data
vRx’s continuous vulnerability detection means you will always have an up to date picture of the vulnerabilities in your environment as well as their status. This keeps security teams and management much more informed when compared to traditional, point-in-time scans.
24/7 Security
vRx’s patchless protection provides a crucial compensating control for the most vulnerable applications when a patch is not available. This closes yet another gap by providing security where the risk would otherwise need to be accepted.
Robust Scripting
vRx’s scripting engine allows for greater flexibility when mitigating configuration based vulnerabilities, deploying software, or performing any other IT and Security tasks you can dream up.
Precise Prioritization
vRx’s intelligent prioritization engine takes the context of where each vulnerability exists within the environment along with a multitude of other data points. This automatically assigns a risk based priority to each app, OS, and asset so your team can focus their efforts where it’s needed most and ignore the noise of vulnerabilities less likely to be exploited in your environment.
One Platform
Built in patch management for both 3rd party apps and all major OS families enables IT teams to remediate vulnerabilities extremely quickly. Having this in the same vulnerability management platform allows for easy tracking of vulnerabilities from detection to remediation.
Works Anywhere
Because vRx is cloud based, its capabilities easily span all locations of your organization. Whether the asset is located on-prem, in the cloud, WFH, colo, or in a satellite office, it will receive all of vRx’s features all of the time.
WHY VRX
Competitive Advantages Table
Feature Name
Vulnerability Scanning
vRx is continuously detecting and reporting new vulnerabilities in your environment. Using lightweight agents and an intuitive cloud dashboard, you will always be informed on the current active CVEs in your environment at all times.
InsightVM is an agent based vulnerability scanning and assessment solution.
Vulnerability Remediation
vRx not only detects vulnerabilities but also has the tools to remediate them. Depending on the nature of the vulnerability, vRx has a corresponding mitigation method available.
InsightVM is able to track and display some metrics on remediations but is not able to facilitate the remediation itself without relying on additional solutions or integrations.
Contextual Prioritization
vRx goes beyond basic vulnerability detection by analyzing and weighing additional risk factors associated with each vulnerability. From there, the prioritization engine automatically assigns an easy to read risk score so you know where your security and IT teams need to spend the most time and energy.
InsightVM largely relies on external threat intel for prioritization. They also offer a “tagging” system to address the context of assets but this solution is highly manual and easy to misconfigure.
Patch Management
vRx makes patch management easy. OS and 3rd party app patches are automatically aggregated in vRx for you and are able to be installed on endpoints through one time patches as well as through automation.
InsightVM does not offer any patch management. This means you will need additional tools to address this stage of the vulnerability lifecycle with InsightVM - this increases risk, effort, and cost.
Continuous Assessment
vRx’s agents report the latest vulnerability data to a cloud dashboard in real time. Vulnerabilities can be introduced into an environment through a new vulnerability being published, a new app being installed, and new devices joining the network. Not having to wait until the next scheduled scan to detect these is an important component in reducing organizational risk.
InsightVM offers live dashboards where agents frequently update vulnerability data and various analytics.
Great Overall Value
All of vRxs features are included for one price which is simply based on the number of agents. The reduction in risk and effort required provides partners and end customers with fantastic ROI.
Because of the requirement of using multiple solutions to cover the entire vulnerability lifecycle when using InsightVM, it does not offer as good value as vRx.
