Featured Reviews

Israel Cavazos Landini - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Comprehensive asset visibility and OT operations support enhance risk mitigation
I use Armis for asset discovery and vulnerability assessments of the OT network Armis is easy to use. Very few software solutions have OT capabilities that do not impact OT operations. Its asset visibility is good as well. This comprehensive feature set is crucial for our operations.…
OndrejKOVAC - PeerSpot reviewer
Empower clients with risk-based vulnerability management through continuous workflow and valuable insights
Tenable Security Center could improve by implementing more dynamic data displays and translating reports into European languages. This is especially relevant in Central Eastern Europe, where clients often require reports in local languages. Additionally, the licensing model could be more flexible for managed security providers, similar to a pay-as-you-go model.

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."
"We are able to see the real risk of a vulnerability on our environment with our security tools."
"Armis is very easy to implement due to its agentless design and offers a granular level of visibility for all assets in the network."
"The initial setup and deployment were simple."
"Armis is a straightforward and user-friendly solution."
"Armis is easy to use."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is asset tracking."
"The tool is user-friendly and helps to detect vulnerabilities."
"Armis saves time by automating asset inventory management, allowing enterprises to quickly strategize by understanding their assets and exposures."
"Armis is very easy to implement due to its agentless design and offers a granular level of visibility for all assets in the network."
"The tool gives us fewer false positives. Compared to its competitors, the solution’s reports are more accurate."
"The most valuable features of Tenable SC are the reports and the dashboards."
"I like Tenable.sc's analytics and reporting. You can also configure your on-prem network monitors to talk to your Tenable.sc control panel."
"It basically reviews our threat landscape vulnerability."
"We use Tenable to scan all of our environments and plugins for vulnerabilities. Tenable helps us discover network vulnerabilities to threats and piracy."
"The solution is completely stable and operation is user-friendly."
"Their overall cost of service is pretty good."
"The customer service and support team at Tenable were extremely helpful."
 

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."
"The vulnerability assessment for Windows is not that great. It misses out on a lot of vulnerabilities."
"Armis could improve its geographic spread and marketing campaigns across regions."
"There are occasional issues with some built-in integrations that require troubleshooting, particularly with DHCP integration. Developing additional integrations would be beneficial."
"The solution's vulnerability testing could be improved."
"We have faced issues with the tool's stability."
"We face difficulties in integrating the product with ticketing tools like ServiceNow."
"Like any IT tool, continuous learning and improvement are essential for the solution."
"Armis doesn't have a back intel feature."
"The tool's initial configuration is not so easy."
"The GUI could be improved to have all concerns and priorities use the same GUI, allowing them to see all tickets, assign vulnerabilities, and assign variation failures to each member of their team."
"The biggest issue I have with the solution is when I'm using the scanning it picks up the original DNS of that device. That means, before we image it and actually change the DNS to something within our company structure, it'll just be random numbers and letters and Tenable will stick to that DNS for a long time."
"The product could be user-friendly, and they could enhance the web application's security features."
"The dashboard templates are limited."
"We experienced some difficulties with the solution’s support."
"The solution needs to improve its support. I would like to see a bird's eye view of my network architecture. I would also like to see the continuous view feature in the tool."
"The integration is very good, although it still needs to improve."
