Rivnut® and Nutsert® and are both trade names for essentially the same thing. Which one you use probably just depends on which you saw first, although Rivnut is the original, invented in 1936 by the B F Goodrich company for aircraft work. Nutsert is the brand name of Avdel, a British company again with its roots in aviation.

M5 and usually they are nutserts like these. As you can see the thread does not go the full length, this is to cater for the deformation when they are compressed to fit them.
Before and after.
