Great for productivity checking and provides good reports
We use this solution for password encryption and remote access. We are customers of ARCON This solution is good for productivity checking and provides good reports.  We've had instances where some parameters have disappeared and that is frustrating. The automation needs to be improved.  We've…

Centralized security testing has improved vulnerability remediation and compliance reporting
I recommend more enhancements focusing on penetration testing for both SSL over HTTP and non-SSL over HTTP, specifically targeting the RCP Rich Client Platform and Equinox frameworks that allow on-premises desktop applications to be tested simultaneously. I believe those would significantly improve the tool in the future. I choose eight as my rating primarily because of the installer app; it becomes challenging to identify the actual vulnerabilities. Once we build this installer—rather than just working on the codebase—sometimes, we face gaps considering the build parameters and conversions to the installer. Identifying those gaps is an area that could use improvement after the installer or desktop application testing, which would be beneficial. That is the only reason; otherwise, I could easily rate it a ten out of ten given its smooth operational process.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The support for ARCON ARSIM is very good."
"It is very user friendly; there are not a lot of clicks and buttons, the tool helps me with the installations so the user can do the installation rather than having a technical guide, and I also like the browsing stream and its good dashboard."
"Good for productivity checking."
"I would definitely advise anyone to look at it, it is a good product, quite stable and scalable, and for the requirements that we looked into, ARCON met the customer's needs."
"It is very user friendly. There are not a lot of clicks and buttons. The tool helps me with the installations. The user can do the installation rather than having a technical guide. I also like the browsing stream. It has a good dashboard."
"We have seen clear compliance and risk control outcomes more than other operational metrics, including fewer process gaps during documentation and safety checks, strong consistency in following protocols for handling, traceability, and staff awareness, better audit readiness, a lower chance of procedure errors, and faster escalation when something appears out of standard, which is very important for us in the healthcare sector."
"I think the best features that Nucleus Security offers are purely the faster remediation to dev tools, which is crucial for managing, prioritizing, and fixing vulnerabilities while helping operational pipelines run these vulnerability management tools."
 

Cons

"The automation needs to be improved."
"As for what can be improved, definitely pricing. Customers look for pricing and ARCON is a little more expensive than Thycotic."
"They should also improve the license audit part. If I want to do a license audit from this tool, I'm not able to do it right now."
"I would love to have all the products. Currently they have all the server operating systems and network operating systems but they should have all the other devices also included, like security devices. That's what I think is missing. They should also improve the license audit part. If I want to do a license audit from this tool, I'm not able to do it right now."
"As for what can be improved, definitely pricing. Customers look for pricing and ARCON is a little more expensive than Thycotic. So the pricing model could be improved."
"I choose eight as my rating primarily because of the installer app; it becomes challenging to identify the actual vulnerabilities."
"Protocols can be too complex in practice sometimes, and some processes can feel heavy and disconnected from our daily workflow."
