Exploit Hound and ConnectSecure

ConnectSecure is a vulnerability management and compliance platform built specifically for MSPs, with a long track record in the channel and a broad scanning catalog.

Which one fits

ConnectSecure is the better fit when

Your priority is breadth of scanning and compliance reporting across many small customers, and you want patching in the same tool. Their platform page lists operating system and application patching, cloud and web application scanning as a premium feature, and compliance scans naming NIST, CIS, GDPR, PCI DSS, HIPAA, Cyber Essentials and Essential Eight. If your service is built around delivering compliance evidence at volume, that is a lot of ground covered natively.

Exploit Hound is the better fit when

Your problem is not finding vulnerabilities but deciding which ones matter. If your technicians are drowning in a list that is technically complete and practically unusable, the difference here is attack paths, choke points and a ranked set of actions with the reasoning attached — then proof the fix worked.

How to read this table

Our column comes from the capability registry this whole site is generated from, so it cannot say something different here than on the integrations page. Every ConnectSecure cell names the product or package it is about, the official page it came from and the date that page was read.

Available: Documented by the vendor as part of the named product, with no separate module or tier stated on the page checked.
Pending approval: Built, and validated against a live environment, with operator approval for general availability still outstanding. Usable under the terms of a guided evaluation; not yet generally available.
Separate module: Documented, and sold or packaged as a different named product from the one this column is about.
Plan dependent: Documented as belonging to a higher tier, package or add-on of the same product.
Beta: Implemented and available for guided evaluation; production validation is not complete.
Limited scope: Present, and narrower than the row's name suggests. The note says how.
Not available: The vendor's own documentation states it is not supported, or we have established the product does not do it.
Not verified: We have not checked an official source for this row. It is not a claim that the capability is missing.

Not verified is not Not available. An em dash used to mean both, which let an unchecked row read as a missing feature. Where we have not read a vendor page for a row, the cell says so.

Where ConnectSecure is stronger

✓
It can patch
ConnectSecure lists operating system and application patching natively. Exploit Hound does not patch anything — it submits approved actions to the RMM you already run, and NinjaOne, Datto RMM, Syncro and N-able N-central are implemented so far, all in beta. If you want one tool that both finds and fixes, that is a real gap on our side.
✓
Wider scanning catalog
Their platform page lists cloud and web application scanning as a premium feature. Ours is Beta and narrower — basic web checks rather than a DAST product. Their data-discovery coverage is not something we have read a vendor page for, so the comparison row says not verified rather than guessing either way.
✓
More compliance frameworks
Their platform page names NIST, CIS, GDPR, PCI DSS, HIPAA, Cyber Essentials and Essential Eight. We map to six frameworks, and Essential Eight and Cyber Essentials are not among them — if your customers need that evidence today, we do not produce it.
✓
Longer channel track record
They have been selling to MSPs for years and integrate with more of the tools around them. We are newer, and a longer reference list is a legitimate thing to weigh.
✓
Published pricing
Their pricing is on their website. Ours is not yet.

Where Exploit Hound is stronger

This section and the one above it are our judgement, not cell-level research: the sourced claims are in the table, each with the page it came from. Weigh these as opinion and check the table for facts.

✓
Attack paths rather than a ranked list
We build a graph of assets, services, identities and observed traffic, then find routes from an entry point to something that matters. A prioritized list tells you what is bad; a path tells you what a fix removes.
✓
Reachability from evidence, not assumption
NetFlow records and honeypot activity feed the same risk model, so a vulnerability nothing can reach ranks below one that is being probed today.
✓
Hybrid identity in one graph
An on-premises account synchronised to a privileged cloud identity is one edge in our graph, so “internet-facing server leads to tenant administration” is a path we can draw. Assessing AD and Entra separately cannot produce that sentence.
✓
Remediation is verified, not assumed
After a fix we re-check the service and report what we actually observed — including when we could not check, which is reported as unverified rather than counted as fixed.

Day-to-day differences for an MSP

Pricing model

ConnectSecure publishes per-tenant pricing, which is straightforward to model across many small customers. We do not publish a price list yet, which is a fair thing to hold against us during an evaluation.

Deployment

Both run an agent and a network probe per customer. Exploit Hound's platform is hosted by us; the probe and the OS clients are what sit inside the customer environment.

Where the work lands

Both integrate with PSA tools. We additionally push approved remediation into an RMM and then verify the result, so the loop closes without a technician moving between consoles.

Can they coexist?

They overlap heavily, so running both is usually paying twice for scanning. This is a choice rather than a pairing — unless you keep ConnectSecure for compliance evidence and patching while using Exploit Hound for prioritization, which some MSPs would find worth the duplication and many would not.

Migration considerations

Asset inventory and authorization scope have to be re-established; findings do not transfer, and neither does remediation history. If you rely on ConnectSecure for patching, keep it until your RMM path is proven — ours covers NinjaOne, Datto, Syncro and N-able, in beta. Expect to run both briefly rather than switching in a weekend.
