Featured Reviews

Israel Cavazos Landini

Associate Director IT Security Operations at a pharma/biotech company with 10,001+ employees

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.

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."

"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."

"We saw benefits from Zafran Security almost immediately after deploying it."

"NinjaOne helps us view the status of software patching, whether the PC is locked or unlocked."

"NinjaOne is a great product. It is working and it is always developing."

"It just works as advertised and serves the purpose for which we got it."

"It helps us to be able to have visibility into the overall performance of the servers, laptops, and desktops that we are managing currently."

"The tool's most valuable feature is third-party application updates."

"We can use it for remote monitoring, and it also works great as a troubleshooting tool. We are able to open up a command line or a PowerShell session remotely without having to disrupt the user. They have a limited network device monitoring capability, but for workstation servers, we have the event logs. We can do performance monitoring, system changes, software deployment, and patch management. We can also push scripts. It has a very simple web interface. There are no additional things to do there. Security is also pretty good. It does the same things that the other competitor's tools do. One of the advantages of Ninja is that they have a more capable mobile app, which allows you to see the alerts immediately. I get alerted to major critical issues."

"The policies are probably the most valuable features. They're similar in function to Microsoft group policies where we can have it monitor certain things or push out software on a schedule. I would rate the policies eight out of 10. They're robust, I could monitor most of the things that Windows Performance Monitoring keeps tabs on."

"The solution's most valuable feature is related to its remote access...I know that NinjaOne's technical support is good."

More NinjaOne pros

"For incident response tasks, all these tasks can get done in minutes with minimal disruption to the end-user."

"The product is granular and can build complex roles compared to other EDR vendors."

"The most valuable features of this solution are the consolidation of all historical data on device endpoints, security drivers, firmware, and Software version gaps."

"The solution is scalable and helps to understand how infrastructure works. It helps to improve the health of the organization."

"Tanium has made the process of detecting threats more proactive with its detection. So, the process is easier and more efficient."

"Threat hunting is a very good feature on Tanium. We have just started using it and have not used it extensively."

"The security features are very valuable."

"I would say Tanium is the best tool for vulnerability management."

More Tanium pros

Cons

"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."

"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."

"NinjaOne's pricing and user interface needs improvement."

"The network monitoring needs to be improved."

"The reporting is lackluster. NinjaOne is great for maintaining systems, but it's hard to use it to understand the state that systems are in without going in and mining the information myself. I rate the reporting two out of 10."

"The inclusion of XENServer and Proxmox as virtual platforms in NinjaOne is currently missing."

"The graphical user interface could be improved."

"The ticketing system in NinjaOne is not the best."

"I wish that they integrated it with more antivirus solutions. Currently, they only push Defender, but it doesn't really have integration with SentinelOne. It also didn't integrate with Trend Micro, which we were using previously. I would also like to have more control from the mobile app. As of now, I am able to see some performance values, but I can't see, for example, disk activity or disk performance values. If they can improve their app a little bit, it would help greatly. They can also improve the tech interface. If I assign certain techs to a bunch of specific machines, they only get those alerts that they're assigned to."

"I would like to see more scripts for PowerShell commands."

More NinjaOne cons

"Tanium's limitations should be improved because although it is a great tool, it is limited to only a few classes during a session."

"The solution lacks mobility."

"The most painful thing is the interface. It's a bit unclear sometimes."

"The reporting could be improved."

"Tanium’s scalability could be improved."

"The performance could improve in future releases. We have had performance issues in specialized web environments, but overall I think the problems are less than 2% of the computer systems being used."

"Tanium required local admin or root rights on Mac devices, which did not comply with our security policies. This made the solution less suitable for our restrictive environment."

"The main issues are the network connection because different customers have issues with their networks. It's difficult implementing this type of solution because the network is the main feature in the architecture for these types of solutions. Tanium could improve by creating some network optimization."

More Tanium cons
