Deploying autonomous security tools improves network protection and efficiency
One of the areas where improvement is needed is in the visibility and reporting for large enterprises. The existing GUI or NodeZero insights provide better visibility, but there's still room for enhancement. Moreover, there is a need to automate interactions with other systems, particularly in triggering or opening tickets in ServiceNow ( /products/servicenow-reviews ). Adding the application layer would also be valuable for clients.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"One of the most valuable features would be the detection capability, specifically the ability to detect alarms and logs collected from SIEM tools."
"The most valuable feature of Picus Security is its threat intelligence, providing suggestions to block and prevent attacks by identifying malicious files and providing threat IDs."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its integration capabilities with the other security tools."
"It's very useful software because the customer mostly configures their IPS and manages their firewalls, WAF, and the DBS according to the latest update, latest news, or according to the situation."
"It provides good reports and offers signature-based solutions."
"You have the liberty of physically executing a specific set of rules in your environment."

Cons

"To improve, Picus Security could consider establishing a data center in India to address trust issues and increase interest from Indian customers."
"According to the attack vectors, you cannot specify which product is failing or which product is working well because there's no agent."
"The amount of integrations that the product can handle is an area of concern, making it one of the aspects where improvements are required."
"Let's say if a customer's environment has 10 security devices and they need to know that there is an attack that has bypassed their devices, they cannot go and inspect every device and every rule in their security devices."
"There is room for improvement in the response rate provided by customer support."
"The reporting and data analysis could be improved. Specifically, the analysis of the results."
"The reports are quite useless."
"One of the areas where improvement is needed is in the visibility and reporting for large enterprises."
