Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Guidewire InsuranceNow

  • Pricing is not published; sold by quote through a sales process
  • Cloud-only deployment; no on-premises option

Rapid7 InsightVM

  • InsightVM is now sold inside Exposure Command rather than as a standalone product
  • Rapid7 states pricing is not publicly listed and is provided by custom quote based on the customer's environment
  • Billing counts billable assets including devices, software, identities, cloud compute instances and applications, so the asset count grows faster than a device inventory suggests
  • Cloud security, compliance, infrastructure as code scanning and application security testing require the Ultimate package rather than Essentials
  • Volume discounts are described as commonly available for larger asset counts, so smaller buyers pay the higher unit rate
