Penetration testing adapts to our schedule with cloud integration
The NodeZero Platform ( /products/the-nodezero-platform-reviews ) has a great cost, and its usability is straightforward. It can be deployed in the cloud. There is an on-premise container that I need to spin up to allow it to run in my environment, but it is automatically updated because it is cloud-based. It uses AI to try and gain access to my network and learns from the environment as it goes, providing a report on vulnerabilities, and demonstrates how their system exploits them to either elevate privilege or gain access to specific credentials or devices.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The platform is stable."
"Based on my experience, I would recommend the Fortinet Penetration Testing Service, especially to those who have other Fortinet solutions, as it integrates well with Fortinet Security Fabric."
"We didn't use customer service often, but my opinion is that they are really good."
"Penetration testing and scans are useful features."
"Overall, I'd rate NodeZero at nine to 9.5 out of ten."
 

Cons

"The product needs to enhance the interaction feature in terms of speed. Sometimes, when we need to get a virtual view of websites, the speed of notifications between customers and the site works slowly."
"The price should be improved."
"I think the Fortinet Penetration Testing could be further improved by making it more robust than what it is now."
"The reports are quite useless."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"They offer license models for a year, three years, or an extra five-year license."
