Scanning coverage
We use the following criteria to evaluate this product:
Cost considerations
Nexpose runs about $2 per asset each month—similar to other mainstream scanners—and licenses grow predictably with asset count. Web-app, cloud, and some analytics need separate Rapid7 modules, so the bill rises if broader coverage is required. Spend is generally acceptable for mid-size programs but not the cheapest option.

Functionality
Rapid7 Nexpose combines live discovery and authenticated or agent-based scans to keep asset data current. The product calculates a custom risk score that helps teams choose what to fix first and pushes remediation tasks directly into Jira or ServiceNow queues. While Nexpose can scan some public-cloud assets, container visibility is limited, so functionality stops short of the most comprehensive offerings.

Compatibility
Nexpose provides agents for major desktop and server OSs and has native connectors for AWS, Azure and GCP, so hybrid environments are covered. Built-in integrations move asset data into ServiceNow and export findings to Splunk, although custom scripts are often needed for other SIEMs. SAML-based single-sign-on is supported, placing compatibility above most rivals but shy of “connect-everywhere” breadth.

User experience
Dashboards are clear and risk-based, matching a clean, well-organized layout noted by reviewers, but recent user feedback highlights a buggy console, limited search and high admin overhead that hamper day-to-day work. Staff can get productive after some training and report tweaking, yet the dated interface keeps overall usability middle-of-the-pack.

Customer support
Rapid7 offers phone, email, and web help 24 × 7 for critical issues and business-hours assistance for routine cases. Daily content updates add new vulnerability checks within about a day of each CVE release. A named success manager is available only in premium tiers, so overall support sits just below the top tier.
