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.
Jonathan Steyn - PeerSpot reviewer
Allows for organizations and projects to manage open source vulnerabilities in an efficient, smooth and secure way
Debricked Security has already implemented several improvements, which are great. One area that could be improved is simplifying the process of converting other SBOM data formats into files that Debricked can understand. While the conversion isn't difficult, it is pretty technical and could be challenging for non-technical users. Apart from that, all software features work seamlessly. The integration with endpoints took less than fifteen minutes, and everything from security conventions to automation rules works perfectly. As for AI, Debricked Security uses it effectively, reducing manual work and unnecessary analysis. It enhances data analysis, making it much easier for customers, which I appreciate about the tool.

Consolidates vulnerability discovery, prioritization, and remediation in a single platform
Vicarius vRx offers several advantages, especially for organizations with diverse operating systems and applications requiring frequent patching. The platform helps prioritize patch installation by identifying high-risk vulnerabilities, allowing IT teams to focus on critical threats first. This prioritization is crucial because it prevents IT teams from being overwhelmed by the constant influx of patches, enabling them to create a manageable plan and allocate resources effectively. By distinguishing between critical, high-risk, and medium-risk vulnerabilities, Vicarius vRx empowers IT teams to address the most urgent threats promptly and schedule less critical patches for later. Both native operating system updates and Vicarius vRx offer vulnerability remediation. Native OS updates allow for the patching of system vulnerabilities on Windows, macOS, and Linux. However, Vicarius vRx provides a single solution for installing both operating system and application updates by also discovering application vulnerabilities. Another valuable feature is virtual patching, which allows us to protect an asset from a specific vulnerability without installing a patch. Sometimes, installing a patch alone is insufficient and requires restarting the asset. However, production servers often cannot be restarted during the day, restricting restarts to specific timeslots. Virtual patching creates a network-based protection layer that prevents exploitation of a vulnerability, offering a temporary safeguard. While not a foolproof solution for long-term use, it's a valuable tool that reduces tension between IT and security teams by providing time to properly install patches.

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 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."
"One of the most valuable features of Debricked Security is its ability to integrate with other tools like the Software Security Center and Fortify on Demand. This integration allows users to make comparisons and generate detailed reports based on the data that Debricked Security populates or aggregates. While this feature may not be unique, it is highly effective for detecting vulnerabilities and providing comprehensive insights."
"Patchless Protection helps protect us from vulnerabilities that may not yet have patches from the manufacturer. I've used it for a piece of software that we don't have a patch for. It monitors that software, analyzes it, and makes sure nothing nefarious is going on when it's vulnerable."
"The most efficient feature of Vicarius vRx is the ability to group assets, such as by time zone, allowing for targeted patching and streamlined management."
"Vicarius vRx's primary strength is its user-friendly interface."
"While other vulnerability scanners overwhelm us with a huge list of problems after a scan, Vicarius vRx goes beyond that."
"We can easily deploy patches for third-party applications. It automatically downloads the patches for you. You do not have to download them, upload them to the solution, and configure your own scripts or anything like that. It is all automatic."
"Since we started using Vicarius vRx, I have not had to worry about patching the software."
"Vicarius vRx's ability to patch third-party software is particularly valuable for us."
"Vicarius vRx has reduced meantime to remediate by 90 percent."
 

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."
"Debricked Security has already implemented several improvements, which are great. One area that could be improved is simplifying the process of converting other SBOM data formats into files that Debricked can understand. While the conversion isn't difficult, it is pretty technical and could be challenging for non-technical users. Apart from that, all software features work seamlessly. The integration with endpoints took less than fifteen minutes, and everything from security conventions to automation rules works perfectly. As for AI, Debricked Security uses it effectively, reducing manual work and unnecessary analysis. It enhances data analysis, making it much easier for customers, which I appreciate about the tool."
"We did some automation. We kicked off scheduled updates to update our systems, but it did not work. When we attempted to scale the product and update multiple systems, we ran into a lot of issues. We also ran into the issue of it creating double assets."
"The patchless protection feature is currently difficult to understand and could be made more user-friendly."
"The network device vulnerability scans can be improved. It would be helpful to be able to mitigate those vulnerabilities using SSH or SNMP to get those those updates out to those devices. I don't know if that is possible because it doesn't run an agent. But at the very least, having that CPE information relative to network devices would be incredibly helpful."
"I would like to see more network architecture elements with patches."
"The user interface for deploying patches can be improved, as it appears complicated when launching patches."
"It would be good if there were more login options. At the moment, it sends you an email to verify your email address, and then you can log in. It would be beneficial to have other options for signing in, like MFA or maybe security keys, especially since it is a security product."
"While I appreciate the automation of vulnerability management, Vicarius vRx's current manual patchless application is a point for improvement."
"The user interface for deploying patches can be improved, as it appears complicated when launching patches. We can launch it for apps or OS, but the steps to get there are a bit tedious. This is the only thing."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Regarding the cost, in my country, I would say it is expensive. However, I’m not directly involved in the sales process, so I don't have the exact license costs."
"The pricing is fair."
"Vicarius vRx offers a competitive price point for the features it provides."
"Vicarius vRx is priced competitively within the market."
"I do not use other solutions, so I cannot compare its pricing to others, but its price seems okay."
"From a pricing perspective, Vicarius was cheaper compared to other competitors."
"I am not sure how much it costs, but it would have saved us some costs."
"In the past, Vicarius vRx was cheap, but now they have adjusted their pricing policy, resulting in higher renewal costs. We have had some conversations with them regarding a smaller jump in the renewal cost."
"The pricing was very reasonable and fair compared to other products. I liked that there was no tiered system. One price gave access to everything, which is nice. It is not something you get too often with enterprise IT."
