- (2025-09-04) Sam Barker: Really great for my workflow
- (2025-09-03) kevin olson: Extremely useful, not having to bounce around tabs to lookup CVES is a game changer, so much time saved
- (2025-09-03) Caitlin Condon: I love this extension because I detest having to switch screens when I'm in the middle of multi-faceted vuln data analysis, and the VulnCheck Insights plugin lets me stay on one screen without losing focus and still access EITW and other CVE intel quickly. I really like the design and the way data is presented, too; I can easily see if ransomware or other TAs are leveraging a CVE, the level of exploit maturity, EPSS, you name it.
- (2025-09-03) Patrick Garrity: Enables me to triage intel related to CVEs without having to switch between screens.
- (2025-09-02) Tony Wenzel: I use this every day when reading about CISA KEV alerts looking for other CVE context.
- (2025-09-02) Jay Wallace: Rock solid product by the VulnCheck team!
