Shreevinayak Deshpande - PeerSpot reviewer
Makes vulnerability management efficient with a single pane of glass and daily report generation
There are areas for improvement. Initially, when onboarding Vulcan Cyber, the setup and configuration was more complex than expected with a user-friendly approach. This aspect can be enhanced. An important area is performance and speed, as Vulcan Cyber often lacks speed when exporting reports. The team might have to work on scaling up servers. When we click on a vulnerability, it takes ten seconds to pop up a window and show the entire content. Instead of that, they can put a down arrow, and all the details should be shown on clicking the arrow. This will prevent that ten-second delay. Another area for improvement is providing support and documentation for their tool. Users should have access to easy-to-understand trial documentation for reference.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The tool's installation, integration, and playbooks are very straightforward."
"The product automatically generated a threat score based on the maliciousness of an IP."
"It's a solid platform and is stable enough. It is not complicated and is easy to use."
"The most valuable features are ease of use and the ability to customize it."
"I like their customer support."
"We have been able to see a return on investment as our clients believe in us more."
"ThreatConnect has a highly user-friendly interface."
"The automation capabilities using the Vulcan API platform or the API feature allow me to easily automate scripts and reports and schedule them."
"The most notable aspects include having prioritization capabilities and custom scripts."
"Vulcan Cyber has helped reduce our organization’s mean time to remediation."
"I find the ability to consolidate information from multiple vulnerability scanners into a single source valuable."
"It has allowed us to bring together multiple sources of information from different signal sources into a single point."
"They recently upgraded their UI, which is great. It is user-friendly."
"I was part of the initial deployment. It was pretty easy. To fully deploy, it took about three or four weeks."
"Out of the three solutions I've used, Vulcan Cyber is the superior option."
 

Cons

"I would like to see improvements in the time zone support of their customer service, considering users are from different time zones."
"Integration is an area that could use some improvement."
"Support is an area with which nobody is ever fully satisfied, so it can be improved."
"It would be good to have more feeds and more integrated sources for enrichment."
"Sometimes, when using the solution, it slows down, affecting our ability to mitigate threats."
"I couldn’t get any training videos online when I was working with the tool."
"They should make it a little bit easier to generate events and share them with the community"
"Improvements are needed in providing more concise details on how to apply remedies for particular vulnerabilities."
"Their support is good, but there are some flaws as well. We often encounter some issues that are not applicable to Vulcan Cyber as a whole; they apply only to us because we have customized requirements. In such cases, when we reach out with specific data and issues to their support team, they sometimes come back and say that the issues have been resolved. However, when we test to see if they have been remediated, they are still there."
"The product helps, but the reporting relies heavily on Power BI. It is limited to graphical views and requires additional filtering, posing operational challenges."
"We've faced situations where we required support on a Friday, and support wasn't available."
"I would rate the tool between six and seven because there have been instances when the tool was down, and I couldn't access Cyber reports. Additionally, the Vulcan Cyber team made changes to the tool and did not notify us."
"The fact that we cannot use it for our reporting leads me to rate it three out of ten."
"It would be extremely helpful to have a community group around the product."
"The performance is bad. The query and the UI are always slow, and it's quite frustrating. Vulcan is trying to solve this with a newer design. The dashboard is also crowded. It pulls in all this raw information that you need to filter. Vulcan has filtering capabilities, but they're hard to manage. The labels aren't very clear, so you need to do things by trial and error. It's not as easy as other tools we've been using."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the product price as six on a scale of one to ten, where one is extremely expensive, and ten means it is cheap."
"The tool is expensive."
"The price could be better."
"The price of this product is in the mid-range, not too expensive, nor inexpensive."
"Our leadership knows better about the pricing. As per my knowledge, which might not be accurate, its price can come down."
"Its pricing is quite fair compared to what is out there in the market, especially compared to the tool from Microsoft. It is a SaaS platform that has an annual cost, so it is something that is already used by many companies. It is quite affordable."
