Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
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
Authy
- Free consumer app with no paid tier, so there is no vendor-stated enterprise SLA or support plan on the pricing side
- Vendor markets multi-device sync as a core feature, meaning account security depends on cloud-backed codes rather than device-only storage
