Unified asset visibility has improved investigations and now simplifies tracking security assets
There are some features that I have shared with our customer service manager. One of them that is relevant to us at this time is the need for better determination of unified devices. Currently, JupiterOne uses hostname weights, MAC addresses, or IP addresses to tie devices together, but we have actually requested a way for us to make those determinations ourselves. For example, when externally scanning a device using Qualys, internally it gives an IP address or FQDN, while externally it might be different. We want to be able to decide ourselves that these two devices are the same device even when they have different names and IP addresses for external and internal use. The unified devices feature is valuable and did not used to exist, and it has been fantastic. However, I believe more can be done regarding unified devices, and giving users the privilege to tie them together would be a good addition to the platform. One of the other things that interest us in JupiterOne and why we really wanted to use the tool is the compliance feature. We wanted to use it to track our compliance since we are ISO 27001 certified. However, the compliance module has not worked well, and we have had to continue tracking our compliance manually with the tools we use. Although there are some works in progress to improve the compliance part of the tool, I think if they can get it up to speed, that would be a really good improvement.

Automated testing has transformed how we deliver fast, consistent security assessments
The key capabilities of the NodeZero platform by Horizon3.ai that I have found most valuable are its speed, scalability, and consistency. It is able to cover a broad scope in a relatively short period of time, which delivers significant efficiency gains when compared with traditional manual testing. It also provides a more consistent outcome, as the process is not influenced by human bias or variability. One of the most valuable features is the ability for security teams to remediate and retest vulnerabilities immediately. The one-click verification capability is particularly effective, as it allows fixes to be validated quickly without the need to rerun the entire assessment. This streamlines the remediation cycle and supports faster confirmation of security improvements. The platform’s real attack capabilities have also helped reduce false positives in the identification of vulnerabilities across our on-premises systems. Because the findings are evidence-based and validated prior to reporting, the results are more reliable and actionable. This enables us to focus our efforts on confirmed security issues that genuinely require attention, rather than spending time investigating theoretical or unverified exposures. The NodeZero platform also strengthens my understanding of potential security threats through its continuously updated capabilities. With new vulnerabilities emerging and being exploited in the wild on a regular basis, it is valuable to have a platform backed by a strong research and development function that continuously updates attack content to reflect the current threat landscape. This makes the platform effective not only as a point-in-time validation tool, but as part of an ongoing and continuous security assurance programme.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"JupiterOne helps us aggregate all those things on one single platform, allowing us to quickly identify what environment that asset lives in and what type of asset it is."
"The product’s UI is pretty decent and fast."
"If someone was looking into this product, I would absolutely recommend it."
"I rate the stability of the NodeZero Platform a ten out of ten."
"Overall, I'd rate NodeZero at nine to 9.5 out of ten."
"Penetration testing and scans are useful features."
"What I appreciate the most about The NodeZero Platform by Horizon3.ai is its distinctive competitive advantage, which is the ability to bundle multiple security solutions into one single tool."
"The NodeZero Platform's real attack capabilities help identify vulnerabilities on my on-premise systems by adding an element of validation and offensive security testing on top of known vulnerabilities. The feature that allows security teams to fix and retest vulnerabilities instantly is very useful, even though it may not happen literally 'instantly.' It's a necessary tool for any organization to understand whether vulnerabilities are genuinely exploitable by attackers. With its near-real-time testing capabilities, it's an essential part of any security portfolio."
"Otherwise, the solution itself is very fine and I would recommend it as an MSP partner or as a user of the tool to pretty much any company."
"We chose The NodeZero Platform by Horizon3.ai because, first, of its superior technical capability for the use cases we were looking for, second, the cost, which we believe was much more affordable than the other products, and third, the customer and technical support was very good for us."
 

Cons

"However, the compliance module has not worked well, and we have had to continue tracking our compliance manually with the tools we use."
"You can only write Python queries in Jupiter, not other languages, like, SQL or PySpark."
"The downsides of The NodeZero Platform by Horizon3.ai are that it is an expensive tool; it is a very expensive tool."
"I encountered challenges with patch management, as we struggled to test and implement patches due to time constraints. This led to our patch management process being ineffective."
"I think The NodeZero Platform could improve by leveraging GPUs for password cracking, which would be pretty good."
"When it comes to the stability of The NodeZero Platform by Horizon3.ai, I would rate it around seven to eight because the stability is not that high initially due to the need for daily updates and modifications as new vulnerabilities appear."
"The speed of the scans takes some time, but in my opinion, it is not surprising for what it is doing."
"I would like to see an improvement in the notification management."
"The only issue we’ve encountered is that sometimes the scans take a long time to complete."
"You need to be cautious about what it scans, as it could potentially cause issues."
