Facilitates consistent and efficient security designs across clouds
We meet with our customer rep on a regular basis and go over new features we request. The team has been quite responsive in fulfilling most of the things we've requested in the revisions as we go along. They implemented changes related to colors. That was one of the things we asked for. One feature that I would like to see is related to comments. Comments need to be layered so that they are always on top. When you click on the comment feature, a dialogue box pops up, and you start entering a comment and put it into a VPC or a group of some sort. When you click on that group, the comment shouldn’t disappear behind the group. That's a problem that I would like to see fixed. The comment should always stay on top. It should be at the top layer above everything else because I can't see a reason why the comments should be under the things that you're commenting on. ThreatModeler Platform needs an enhancement so that comments always remain on top layers in diagrams, preventing them from disappearing when interacting with other components.

Good reporting and pretty stable but needs to be simpler to use
The support team of ThreatQ set up a VM on our VPN, which was SlashNext's private VPN. Then we just initiated some system calls and ThreatQ provided us the configuration file with our settings (like our email, our API key, our URL, our category, etc.). They set up a VM on our private VPN cloud. And then they provided us the configuration file in which we just entered our details like our company URL, our API category, and API keys et cetera. We could just add it on the configuration file. We just uploaded it to the ThreatQ server. After running the system calls, we just initiated the ThreatQ and then performed tasks on the UI, such as categorizing the reports. If we only wanted the report for phishing, then we just manipulated the data on the UI and just extracted the reports. That's all. The deployment was complex. We used high hardware specifications. I don't remember the exact specifications, however, I recall them being high. There were some services that had some compatibility errors. That's why we had our VMs - to make sure that the customer would not face any errors. Everything's deployed with high specifications and custom specifications. That was the biggest challenge for us - to deploy on the customer VMs. On average, deployment takes 15-20 minutes if it's deployed without any errors. I was with one of the NetOps network admin during deployment. We were only two people and we just deployed and installed all services and we executed the deployment.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"ThreatModeler Platform is a big timesaver, helping to provide consistent output."
"ThreatModeler Platform is a big timesaver, helping to provide consistent output. Without it, interpretations would vary. Everything would be developed from scratch, and consistency would be lacking. By having this as our tool, we've developed a more consistent output."
"Integrating the solution with our existing security tools and workflows was easy."
"The reporting services are great. With reporting services, if you have customers that just visit a URL you can see the result - including why it's blocked and how and how the URL was first recognized as malicious."
 

Cons

"One feature that I would like to see is related to comments. Comments need to be layered so that they are always on top."
"One feature that I would like to see is related to comments. Comments need to be layered so that they are always on top."
"The tool is not user-friendly."
"The solution should be simpler for the end-user in terms of reporting and navigating the product."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's like everything. If you look at the pricing, it sounds like a lot. If you look at the time it saves you and the fact that it repeatedly saves you that time, it pays for itself. That's what you want out of your tools."
