The solution helps users to manage their entire IP range, but it's unreliable and very expensive to maintain

Only the administrator was using the product. He used it to read reports as part of our compliance programs. It wasn't heavily used by a lot of users. The tool comes in at a large scale, and we tried to scale it down. The scaling did not apply to us. It was neither difficult nor easy. I rate the scalability a five out of ten. We had some challenges while scaling it down. It could do 10,000 devices, and we wanted to use it for ten devices. The process was difficult and expensive. We did not need the product anymore.

Streamlines prioritization but reporting needs enhancement

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. The inability to download specific asset details directly from the Power BI portal is a drawback, particularly for non-technical users, though it provides high-level executive summaries. The reporting model should be enhanced so that we have the flexibility to download. We have requested a few features, and they are open to accepting those requests. It needs ITSM improvements. It has out-of-the-box integration with ServiceNow, but the customer is using BMC Helix ITSM. We would like an integration with BMC Helix ITSM. When uploading CSV files without an out-of-the-box connector, duplicate entries for assets occur. We have already reported this to them, but we are not sure when they will fix it. It will significantly benefit if we can directly upload business context information from CMDB without manual merging efforts. It can also have automatic remediation capabilities through SCCM or something else.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We could manage our entire IP range with the solution."

"This product detects vulnerabilities which exist in the environment, and provides enough information that allows for remediation, thereby securing the environment."

"Tripwire IP360 helps me to discover most of the vulnerabilities, and I like the way that it prioritizes these vulnerabilities, as it allows me to focus on the most important ones first and then follow up with the rest."

"Tripwire is one of the most mature in terms of companies, suites, support, everything, much more than any other product."

"The company probably chose this solution because they thought that they would be getting the best bang for their buck."

"Tripwire IP360 is a very stable solution."

"It has enhanced the security program by ensuring that all external-facing systems are scanned on a routine basis."

"It's become the pinnacle point for anything that enters the network or anything that's passing through to production to first be affected by IP360, hardened, and up to standard. For our integrity management, one was deployed in the bank about two years ago and that's still going to expand the usage and the product itself. That will go hand in hand with training and expanding the product as for where it's deployed."

"Vulcan Cyber helps us prioritize the vulnerabilities that are really exploitable and our point of interest for the industry based on the threat intelligence that we get."

"The automation capabilities using the Vulcan API platform or the API feature allow me to easily automate scripts and reports and schedule them."

"They recently upgraded their UI, which is great. It is user-friendly."

"It is very good when it comes to ingesting information from different sources and then displaying this information in an easy-to-use platform."

"The interface of Vulcan Cyber is intuitive with a lot of information about vulnerabilities, which helps in classifying and analyzing threats."

"Vulcan Cyber is a very good tool."

"Vulcan Cyber gives the remediation team the focus points."

"It has allowed us to bring together multiple sources of information from different signal sources into a single point."

More Vulcan Cyber pros

Cons

"We need to dedicate time and resources to keep it running."

"If you are looking for better reporting capabilities and vulnerability tracking over time for remediation purposes, then this is not the best solution."

"We would like to have better reporting capabilities and for them to be more granular."

"The reporting functions can use improvement."

"I am not very impressed by the technical support."

"The reporting functions can use improvement. There is room for growth because reporting functions differ a lot depending on what you're going to output. It depends on whether it's for technical or senior management and how it's interpreted. There could be growth within the reporting functionality side."

"For IP360, unfortunately, scans for certain vulnerabilities often cause issues, as they are mainly false positive."

"The fact that we cannot use it for our reporting leads me to rate it three out of ten."

"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 performance is bad. The query and the UI are always slow, and it's quite frustrating. Vulcan is trying to solve this with a newer design. The dashboard is also crowded. It pulls in all this raw information that you need to filter. Vulcan has filtering capabilities, but they're hard to manage. The labels aren't very clear, so you need to do things by trial and error. It's not as easy as other tools we've been using."

"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."

"Improvements are needed in providing more concise details on how to apply remedies for particular vulnerabilities."

"We've faced situations where we required support on a Friday, and support wasn't available."

"Mainly, what I would like from them is more maintenance of the different connectors they have in the platform."

More Vulcan Cyber cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product was expensive for us."

"I believe the price compares well within the market."

"Our leadership knows better about the pricing. As per my knowledge, which might not be accurate, its price can come down."

"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."

Vulcan Cyber ExposureOS reduces mean time to remediation by fostering efficient collaboration among security teams, asset and remediation owners through orchestrated workflows and automated remediation tasks.
