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.
Bart Coddens - PeerSpot reviewer
Evolved cloud security with active monitoring but needs interface consistency
The user interface needs work. Sometimes, it is a transition from the old tool to the new CNAPP Two that I currently have, and remnants of the old environment can still be detected. I require consistency in the user interface to ensure everything is streamlined into the same look and feel. More work is needed in fine-tuning the threat data towards your CSPM and activity logs, aligning them with business intelligence, which requires a cohesive console interface. My assessment of CloudGuard CDRs in intrusion detection and threat hunting capabilities is that it still needs some work. All the threat data that comes in, you need to fine tune it a bit.
Shreevinayak Deshpande - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 saw benefits from Zafran Security almost immediately after deploying it."
"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."
"CloudGuard's best feature is real-time detection. We can detect incidents and vulnerabilities in our code with one click."
"The audit feature is the most valuable for compliance reasons. It gives you a full view of the whole environment, no matter how many accounts you have in AWS or Azure. You have it all under one umbrella."
"It presents great visibility of the traffic flow of our cloud, providing information on what data and users are circulating and in the event of a threat, it immediately identifies them by providing detailed and granular information from our entire environment."
"I can take proactive actions based on an alert without having to interact with the platform directly."
"It offers advanced detection of threats that can harm data from the cloud database."
"Alerts of cloud activity happening across all accounts is helpful."
"The product allows us to enhance the security of the implementations we have."
"It provides complete visibility of workload hosted on different cloud platforms including AWS and Azure, along with multiple tenants."
"Vulcan Cyber offers a single pane of glass for centralizing our security data."
"One of the features that I find valuable is the ability to bifurcate the report according to the many options available."
"Now that the solution is onboarded, we are saving a lot of time. We're saving roughly four to ten hours a week."
"There is a lot of flexibility in exporting, making it a really good feature. The exporting flexibility based on application type is commendable and provides significant value."
"The interface of Vulcan Cyber is intuitive with a lot of information about vulnerabilities, which helps in classifying and analyzing threats."
"They recently upgraded their UI, which is great. It is user-friendly."
"I find the ability to consolidate information from multiple vulnerability scanners into a single source valuable."
"Vulcan Cyber gives the remediation team the focus points."
 

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."
"The dashboarding and reporting functionality of Zafran Security is an area that definitely could use some improvements."
"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 tool has a lot of potential, but today, it lacks a lot of Scripts/Bots for Azure."
"The support it provides is not very good. They should improve it since we have had several setbacks due to support issues."
"I would like them to include support for their products in languages other than English."
"Sometimes, the solution provides us with false alerts of vulnerabilities that are not present in our cloud environment."
"I would like to see some AI on the back-end, just to assist with doing analysis and making recommendations."
"The false positives can be annoying at times."
"Dome9 should also support deployments that are on-premises and in a hybrid cloud."
"I would like to see improvements in the vulnerability assessments in terms of how the solution discovers vulnerabilities or compromised workloads. Also, customizable reports would be nice."
"Mainly, what I would like from them is more maintenance of the different connectors they have in the platform."
"There are several areas needing improvement. The product helps, but the reporting relies heavily on Power BI. It is limited to graphical views and requires additional filtering, posing operational challenges."
"Monitoring of the evolution of campaigns and perhaps having more customized options for monitoring them would be great."
"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."
"If there was a way for me to connect to the vendor directly from the application, it would be helpful."
"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."
"An important area is performance and speed, as Vulcan Cyber often lacks speed when exporting reports."
"We wish we had more insights into how they weigh the risks associated with the threat intel."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Its price is very fair."
"​They support either annual licensing or hourly. At the time of our last negotiation, it was either one or the other, you could not mix or match. I would have liked to mix/match. ​"
"Licensing and costs are straightforward, as they have a baseline of 100 workloads within one license and no additional charges."
"Right now, we have licenses on 500 machines, and they are not cheap."
"The license fee is high."
"The licensing part still needs some work. The issue that I have is that we do not use all the services in the cloud, but sometimes, CloudGuard identifies them as an asset."
"The price is on the higher end."
"In the beginning, the price of Dome9 was cheap, whereas now it is not."
"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."
