Which one fits

Rapid7 is the better fit when

Cloud is a large part of your estate. Exposure Command Ultimate covers multi-cloud and container security across AWS, Azure, GCP and Kubernetes, with data security posture management and runtime validation, and their attack path analysis maps lateral movement and privilege escalation toward sensitive data. With 500+ integrations it also fits an environment that already has a lot of tooling to tie together.

Exploit Hound is the better fit when

Your estate is the on-premises and hybrid infrastructure of many small businesses rather than a large cloud footprint, and your constraint is running that across thirty customers with a small team.

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 Rapid7 Exposure Command 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 Rapid7 is stronger

✓
Cloud, by a distance
Multi-cloud and container security, data security posture management and runtime validation. We have none of this.
✓
Integration breadth
500+ integrations across cloud, identity, ITSM, EDR and CI/CD. Ours are deliberately narrow: five PSA providers, four RMM providers, and webhooks — every one of them Beta, and none yet validated against a live vendor tenant.
✓
Web application security
On their platform, not on ours.
✓
Scale and assurance
Established research, audits and support organisation.

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 and identity risk are not on this list. Rapid7 has both.

✓
MSP operations as the design
Multi-tenancy, per-customer ranking and per-customer policy, rather than an enterprise product with tenants added.
✓
Remediation through the RMM, then verified
Their integrations create tickets. We additionally execute approved actions through the endpoint tool you already run and then re-check the service to confirm the exposure is gone.
✓
Honeypot and NetFlow evidence
First-party observation of what is being probed and what actually talks to what, in the same risk model.
✓
Hosted platform, onsite collection
The platform is ours to run and keep current. The onsite probe and the OS clients are what live in the customer environment, which is where the visibility has to come from.

Can they coexist?

Yes, along a clean line: Rapid7 for cloud and application estate, Exploit Hound for the multi-tenant infrastructure and identity layer with PSA and RMM integration. The overlap on vulnerability management is real but not total.

Migration considerations

You would lose cloud, container, DSPM and web application coverage, and the integration breadth. If cloud is a meaningful part of what you manage, keep it. Rapid7 prices by quote. Exploit Hound publishes its tiers, so you can put a number against your own asset counts before talking to anybody — the pricing page has them.
