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.…

Makes vulnerability management efficient with a single pane of glass and daily report generation
There are areas for improvement. Initially, when onboarding Vulcan Cyber, the setup and configuration was more complex than expected with a user-friendly approach. This aspect can be enhanced. An important area is performance and speed, as Vulcan Cyber often lacks speed when exporting reports. The team might have to work on scaling up servers. When we click on a vulnerability, it takes ten seconds to pop up a window and show the entire content. Instead of that, they can put a down arrow, and all the details should be shown on clicking the arrow. This will prevent that ten-second delay. Another area for improvement is providing support and documentation for their tool. Users should have access to easy-to-understand trial documentation for reference.

Pros

"We are able to see the real risk of a vulnerability on our environment with our security tools."
"Zafran has become an indispensable tool in our cybersecurity arsenal."
"We saw benefits from Zafran Security almost immediately after deploying it."
"Zafran is an excellent tool."
"Overall, we have seen about eighty-seven percent reduction of the number of vulnerabilities that require urgency to remediate, specifically the number of criticals."
"The tool is user-friendly and helps to detect vulnerabilities."
"Armis is very easy to implement due to its agentless design and offers a granular level of visibility for all assets in the network."
"Armis is a straightforward and user-friendly solution."
"Armis saves time by automating asset inventory management, allowing enterprises to quickly strategize by understanding their assets and exposures."
"The solution’s vulnerability monitoring system is very good."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is asset tracking."
"The initial setup and deployment were simple."
"Armis is very easy to implement due to its agentless design and offers a granular level of visibility for all assets in the network."
"Vulcan Cyber offers a single pane of glass for centralizing our security data."
"Out of the three solutions I've used, Vulcan Cyber is the superior option."
"Vulcan Cyber has helped reduce our organization’s mean time to remediation."
"Now that the solution is onboarded, we are saving a lot of time. We're saving roughly four to ten hours a week."
"The most notable aspects include having prioritization capabilities and custom scripts."
"One of the features that I find valuable is the ability to bifurcate the report according to the many options available."
"I was part of the initial deployment. It was pretty easy. To fully deploy, it took about three or four weeks."
"The interface of Vulcan Cyber is intuitive with a lot of information about vulnerabilities, which helps in classifying and analyzing threats. We have a good view of assets and vulnerabilities. It helps to do good threat analysis because we can see exactly what the threat is and assess it accordingly."
 

Cons

"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."
"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 dashboarding and reporting functionality of Zafran Security is an area that definitely could use some improvements."
"There are occasional issues with some built-in integrations that require troubleshooting, particularly with DHCP integration. Developing additional integrations would be beneficial."
"Like any IT tool, continuous learning and improvement are essential for the solution."
"We face issues during implementation."
"The solution's vulnerability testing could be improved."
"Armis could improve its geographic spread and marketing campaigns across regions."
"We face difficulties in integrating the product with ticketing tools like ServiceNow."
"We have faced issues with the tool's stability."
"The vulnerability assessment for Windows is not that great. It misses out on a lot of vulnerabilities."
"I would rate the tool between six and seven because there have been instances when the tool was down, and I couldn't access Cyber reports. Additionally, the Vulcan Cyber team made changes to the tool and did not notify us."
"Their support is good, but there are some flaws as well. We often encounter some issues that are not applicable to Vulcan Cyber as a whole; they apply only to us because we have customized requirements. In such cases, when we reach out with specific data and issues to their support team, they sometimes come back and say that the issues have been resolved. However, when we test to see if they have been remediated, they are still there."
"Mainly, what I would like from them is more maintenance of the different connectors they have in the platform."
"Improvements are needed in providing more concise details on how to apply remedies for particular vulnerabilities."
"It would be extremely helpful to have a community group around the product."
"Their support is good, but there are some flaws as well."
"We wish we had more insights into how they weigh the risks associated with the threat intel."
"Improvements are needed in providing more concise details on how to apply remedies for particular vulnerabilities. I would like to have more information about the remedies for particular vulnerabilities so that we do not have to go through the CVE numbers and relevant pages to check for a particular vulnerability and its remedy."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The tool is cheap."
"Its pricing is quite fair compared to what is out there in the market, especially compared to the tool from Microsoft. It is a SaaS platform that has an annual cost, so it is something that is already used by many companies. It is quite affordable."
"Our leadership knows better about the pricing. As per my knowledge, which might not be accurate, its price can come down."
