"The port division management was the solution's most valuable aspect for our organization."
"The most valuable features are Firewall Assurance and Vulnerability Control."
"It can be integrated with a vulnerability management solution. When a client comes, apart from pitching network and firewall change management, we are recommending having vulnerability management. So, rather than just having the audit of the firewall, they can integrate it with their vulnerability management solution, which could be Rapid7, Qualys, or any other solution. This provides them the most value out of the platform. That is the way we are approaching our customer base."
"It shows me a client's or an organization's entire network. I can see everything."
"It has a good policy management feature and can provide customers with good quality outputs."
"The most valuable feature is firewall management."
"It's very supportive and very user-friendly."
"The solution offers very nice dashboards and they've recently added a very good Java-based web interface."
"Tenable Nessus is cheap and flexible."
"Tenable Nessus is an absolutely stable and fantastic product."
"Overall Zoom is a good solution."
"I have experience with it on my attack stations, and it's pretty good to optimize. Personally, I think Nessus is quite a good product."
"The reports are pretty nice and easy to understand."
"Scanners and reports using CIS templates ("de-facto" standard, easy to fix and to locate correction tips at documentation), tests against cloud providers, database profiles, several types of telecom devices, and others highly customizable scans."
"I have found the vulnerability assessment and the reports to be useful."
"The solution is the most dynamic one I have seen thus far."
"The solution was quite technical. It would be easier to manage if the solution was more specific about aspects of the solution and provided more advisory around how to use it effectively. It would help users a lot if they were more clear about everything."
"The price is costly, and I hope they can reduce the cost."
"The support could be improved."
"The solution needs to add more automation and orchestration capabilities. Those features would make the solution much stronger."
"The initial setup with Skybox Security is hard. You need one or two strong security engineers on your team."
"Change Manager can be improved. If they can improve Change Manager so that whatever we want to do on a firewall, we are able to do it through Change Manager, it will be helpful for us. Whenever we are doing a change, it only does them at an L3 and L4 level, but all the firewalls are at the application layer. So, whatever needs to be done on the firewall, we aren't able to get it done through Change Manager. Currently, this functionality is not there because of which we are sometimes losing customers. I can create a role on Layer 3, Layer 4, but when it comes to the application layer, such as configuring and defining URLs or other things at the application level, it can't be done through Change Manager. Customers demand that they should be able to do everything through Change Manager. They don't want to do it through some other mechanism to accomplish their complete change management policy. They don't want to use a firewall manager because sometimes, they don't have any manager. They ask if they can use our solution so that a manager is not required. If Change Manager can do all the management automatically without involving any other manager, it will be great. They can also provide better integration with other managers so that everything can be done through a central point."
"The Network Assurance, which helps to create the network model, is not so rich."
"The cloud site could be better. They should provide some use cases to help users."
"We'd like to see more integration potential within the solution."
"EQA's and dashboards should be addressed in the next release."
"Model OS costs (and its segregation schema for individual modules)."
"Remediation needs improvement."
"We would like to have the option of using the solution for the cloud as well as on-premises with the same license at the same time. That would be very helpful."
"In terms of what could be improved, I would say its reporting portion."
"The professional version is not very scalable."
"The reporting feature needs to be improved."
