Continuous offensive testing has transformed our cloud security and prioritizes critical fixes
The continuous testing and continuous offensive testing are among the best features that AttackIQ offers, and being able to categorize it based on criticality such as very critical, emergency, high, medium, and low is valuable. AttackIQ allows us to resolve issues much quicker because these issues come in categories, enabling us to prioritize them and fix the emergency issues first. It has definitely reduced response time and improved our discoverability of these issues in the first place.

Tool identifies vulnerabilities and monitors connectivity effectively
Skybox Security Suite was a very good tool for my organization. I used it for monitoring connectivity between internal and external sites, monitoring our AWS instances, and ensuring workstations and Layer 3 devices met security specifications. The tool successfully helped in preventing vulnerabilities and breaches, but unfortunately, operations ceased before completing a migration to SaaS.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"AttackIQ is solving a lot of the problems that I had before or that we as an organization had before, even the security team, so it is solving all my issues."
"Overall, I've had a good experience with the product."
"Overall, I've had a good experience with the product. It's worked well for me."
"After using AttackIQ, it has helped the team and the company improve on false positives and reduce risk, as most people are now capable of identifying how to work on detection, improving fine-tuning and all those things."
"The most valuable features are the rule compliance and the OS vulnerability checks."
"We use Network Assurance for network visualisation and troubleshooting."
"Overall, the tool has helped us reduce risks. If any step is missing, it's easier for my team or engineers to identify it. The tool provides accurate recommendations based on the data. Its integration is easy, and I have integrated it with Fortinet firewalls."
"The most valuable features of Skybox Security Suite are all the modules that are provided, such as vulnerability assessments and network, and firewall assessments."
"The port division management was the solution's most valuable aspect for our organization."
"Robust modules can be used for different parts of network security."
"The most impressive feature is optimization and clean-up."
"The solution offers very nice dashboards and they've recently added a very good Java-based web interface."
 

Cons

"The initial setup was difficult. It was not straightforward."
"The initial setup was quite difficult and took a long time."
"I would say the reason I can't go higher than eight out of 10 is that their major release announcements aren't always straightforward."
"The company made bad business decisions impacting many clients and their own staff. Reporting could have been improved, and feature requests often were not implemented."
"There is room for improvement in device policy provisioning. However, modifications and the deletion of existing policies are currently unavailable or under enhancement."
"The stability is something that is questionable. Maybe once a month, or once in every 45 days, it requires a restart because the application fails to connect."
"It's expensive."
"They are not satisfied with the complexity of the solution and the price."
"The most recent update was not tested with all of the vendors before it was released, so some of the features are misbehaving."
"They are not satisfied with the complexity of the solution and the price."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The pricing is high, and the licensing model needs more flexibility."
"With licensing, the number of network nodes becomes very expensive to the point where you have to rationalize if the tools are warranted anymore."
"Skybox Security Suite has indeed helped us reduce costs. The prices of AlgoSec and Skybox Security Suite are approximately 50 percent different. The tool may require special vendor support from abroad, resulting in slightly higher costs. Its pricing is in the middle."
"Currently, the licensing costs me about $300 USD for the year. This is a huge amount for my environment."
"The solution is based on a subscription model for annual licenses."
"Pricing is on the higher side. In terms of licensing, you should buy the complete suite rather than buying only the Change Manager. I think Change Manager with Vulnerability Control is something that would be interesting to look at."
"Skybox comes with extra licenses and has a change management license. The licenses are expensive, but they come with extra value."
"The product's pricing is excellent value. In terms of licensing, make sure you understand your network components, all your hops through your network, thoroughly, before you decide on the total cost. If you want to do point-to-point flow analysis and such, you need to have the configuration of all the devices in between point A and point B. A lot of people don't realize all their network components until they start using this product."
