User Testimonials
	Mandiant Advantage Security Validation	Metasploit
Likelihood to Recommend	It is well-suited to larger enterprise environments and less well-suited to small businesses. You need some level of maturity to be able to fully utilize this tool, but overall it is fairly easy to get fully up and running within the environment, which is really nice. Well-suited if you have the budget for it and it saves on staff time to perform these functions. Not well-suited if you don't have a good budget in-place for your environment size. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	In security of information it's vital to think like a hacker and it's important to know the tools they use for attacks. So this software gives you the exploits that are already in the wild and to the access of everyone. That's very dangerous so you have to be aware of it.
