Weekly insights and risk analysis facilitate informed security decisions

I appreciate the weekly insights Zafran provides, which include critical topics for networks and IT security, allowing us to evaluate which insights apply to our environment. The organization score feature is valuable to keep the leadership team updated on how our infrastructure fares security-wise. The applicable risk level versus base risk level feature is beneficial because prior to Zafran, we only used the base risk level, but now understand that risk depends on the asset itself. Zafran is an excellent tool.

Helps to conduct vulnerability scans but needs to add more integrations

There are companies that do vulnerability scans. However, what adds value is when two experts come and sit with you to scan and patch the vulnerabilities. Any 50-member or small company that has an IT footprint carries risk from a cybersecurity perspective. These companies use tools but don't have the talent to leverage them.

Windows Security Patching Operation III (Cyber Operations) at CBTS

Have maintained accurate vulnerability scans and gained actionable remediation insights across thousands of servers

Tenable Vulnerability Management agents are very lightweight, and the results we get are very accurate. The solutions they provide to us, assuming if one vulnerability exists, there will be a solution. The resolution they give us in wording will be the best solution. The exploit rates and the reports we get provide a lot of information, making it very easy for us to verify.The main benefit of integration with Tenable Vulnerability Management is that there will be no lack of missing vulnerabilities when it comes to the patching environment. That is one of the key aspects of why we have integrated Tenable to our patching tools. It has a vast capacity of pushing the data to our tools due to its capability and compatibility. That is also one of the reasons why we are using Tenable Vulnerability Management.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Zafran is an excellent tool."

"Zafran has become an indispensable tool in our cybersecurity arsenal."

"Overall, we have seen about eighty-seven percent reduction of the number of vulnerabilities that require urgency to remediate, specifically the number of criticals."

"We are able to see the real risk of a vulnerability on our environment with our security tools."

"We saw benefits from Zafran Security almost immediately after deploying it."

"This solution has made huge strides in improving the awareness of our end users."

"The most valuable feature of Arctic Wolf Managed Risk is being informed about what vulnerabilities there are exposed currently."

"We get access to quarterly reviews with their team."

"The reporting is really good from what I've seen so far."

"The customer support is incredible."

"I appreciate the professionalism of the tool and have faith in the results it delivers."

"There are companies that do vulnerability scans. However, what adds value is when two experts come and sit with you to scan and patch the vulnerabilities. Any 50-member or small company that has an IT footprint carries risk from a cybersecurity perspective. These companies use tools but don't have the talent to leverage them."

"We have a patch management solution that scans for any patches that can be applied and then applies these patches, but it doesn't hit everything. It also doesn't find all misconfigurations and things like that. Arctic Wolf Managed Risk kind of fills in the gaps and makes us aware of vulnerabilities or misconfigurations that exist out there. It does an agent scan for software versions and compares them to what CVs are out there and lets us know."

More Arctic Wolf Managed Risk pros

"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."

"There is no burden of updating or upgrading this solution."

"Tenable is user-friendly and excels in reporting."

"Tenable Vulnerability Management is the backbone of our vulnerability management and has affected my organization positively."

"The solution can integrate with third parties and meets standard compliance."

"The solution is quite friendly."

"The solution is very simple to use."

"The solution's most valuable feature is providing a single pane of visibility on all the infrastructure and its status."

Cons

"Initially, we were somewhat concerned about the scalability of Zafran due to our large asset count and the substantial amount of information we needed to process."

"I think the ability to have some enhanced reporting capabilities is something they can improve on, as they have good reports but we have asked for some specific reporting enhancements."

"The dashboarding and reporting functionality of Zafran Security is an area that definitely could use some improvements."

"It could be easier to use. They could present things in a little bit more ranked order rather than kind of giving you everything out there. It should highlight the really important stuff and make it easier to get to good rather than perfect."

"The presentation of the data could be improved."

"The scalability could improve."

"The major area for improvement is the lack of a patch management feature to resolve some of the vulnerabilities detected."

"There are some challenges with integrations in Arctic Wolf Managed Risk. Some integrations could be improved to enhance functionality."

"The best way to take this product to the next level would be to implement a patch management solution."

"Arctic Wolf Managed Risk needs to add more integrations."

More Arctic Wolf Managed Risk cons

"The product is a bit expensive."

"I'd like to see them improve their support."

"I would like the solution to cover the whole cycle of mitigation since it's an area where the solution currently lacks."

"The reporting was never great in Tenable Vulnerability Management, so, in my company, we imported all the data into Ivanti RiskSense to start using it for reporting."

"More flexibility is required compared to other solutions."

"Tenable.io Vulnerability Management could be improved with an increased number of dashboards and MSSP integration."

"Another area of improvement is customer service and support. Tenable needs to include support in the pricing/license. Currently, they push clients to get support from partners or channel distributors, who often charge a lot."

"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
