Rapid7 Surface Command vs ThingsRecon

Rapid7 Surface Command gives security teams a unified view of internal and external assets across an organization’s digital estate. It discovers assets and builds an inventory, then adds security context and relationships to help assess exposures and potential blast radius. Continuous monitoring and discovery aim to uncover exposed assets across internal and external inventories. Threat intelligence and machine learning correlate security data to prioritize exposures likely to be exploited. The Remediation Hub recommends and tracks prioritized fixes with ownership, SLAs, and workflow integrations. Rapid7 lists over 150 tool integrations, connectors for major tools, and custom connectors for enterprise systems; sources that cannot be reached over the internet require an Orchestrator. The product supports cloud asset inventory, multi-cloud environments, IaC scanning, identity risk analysis, and CI/CD integration. Listed platforms are API, Linux, macOS, web, and Windows, with hybrid deployment and cloud deployment also listed. Pricing is paid, from $1.62/mo, based on the average number of monitored assets. There is no free plan, but a free trial is offered.
