Tool identifies vulnerabilities and monitors connectivity effectively
Skybox Security Suite was a very good tool for my organization. I used it for monitoring connectivity between internal and external sites, monitoring our AWS instances, and ensuring workstations and Layer 3 devices met security specifications. The tool successfully helped in preventing vulnerabilities and breaches, but unfortunately, operations ceased before completing a migration to SaaS.

Effective, fast risk reduction with critical threat intelligence updates
The dashboarding and reporting functionality of Zafran Security is an area that definitely could use some improvements. Overall, you get some dashboards and widgets to start with that are helpful, but customization was lacking. It is definitely a weaker point of the product right now, but am confident this will be changing soon!

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The firewall management feature in Skybox Security Suite was quite good and was what we primarily used."
"Skybox allows organizations to reprioritize the vulnerability they attempt to patch and mitigate, based on the contextual awareness of the network."
"The most valuable features are the rule compliance and the OS vulnerability checks."
"The most impressive feature is optimization and clean-up."
"We are currently working on rule review and compliance. The logging features are good."
"The product's pricing is excellent value."
"The scalability of the solution is very good."
"I am impressed with the tool's change management, firewall and network assurance."
"Zafran is an excellent tool."
"With Zafran Security, it integrates with your security controls, allowing you to take that risk score and reduce it based on the controls in place or increase the risk based on different factors, such as if the issue is internet reachable or if there's an exploit in the wild."
"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 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."
 

Cons

"During implementation, we realised approximately 30 devices were not supported by the Skybox platform."
"Technical support is not something which I would rate very high. Support is available but they need to ensure that they bring in their local team to give us support."
"The pricing is high, and the licensing model needs more flexibility."
"The solution was quite technical. It would be easier to manage if the solution was more specific about certain aspects and provided more advisory around how to use it effectively."
"Skybox Security Suite can improve the change management module. It is the one part of the tool that is used with the firewall devices and you have a change management module that is used to record changes of all firewalls in the company. It's not compatible with all brands, this is where they can improve the solution."
"The only place where Skybox has room for improvement, and they're working on releasing this, it's just a slow-go, is the UI."
"Modifications and the deletion of existing policies are currently unavailable."
"The support could be improved."
"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."
"The dashboarding and reporting functionality of Zafran Security is an area that definitely could use some improvements."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"When compared with other companies, the license is more costly."
"With licensing, the number of network nodes becomes very expensive to the point where you have to rationalize if the tools are warranted anymore."
"The pricing is high, and the licensing model needs more flexibility."
"Licensing is normally on a yearly basis. There may also be a perpetual license. Normally, the customers ask for a lower price. If you want to sell more, you have to think about it."
"The solution is based on a subscription model for annual licenses."
"Pricing is on the higher side. In terms of licensing, you should buy the complete suite rather than buying only the Change Manager. I think Change Manager with Vulnerability Control is something that would be interesting to look at."
"The pricing has increased exorbitantly in the last few years, so now it is questionable. Now, it makes me want to review other products."
"Skybox comes with extra licenses and has a change management license. The licenses are expensive, but they come with extra value."
