VulnCheck Reviews

Over the year and a half that I have been dealing with VulnCheck, I have also worked with numerous similar solutions. I know the market and understand the similarities and what VulnCheck can do, what it cannot, and what other competitors offer within the field.

Essentially, what we are looking to accomplish with VulnCheck is to enable organizations to view vulnerabilities that exist within the cybersecurity landscape. I am taking this to partners to then sell to their customers, but their customers are simply looking for a way to sift through thousands of CVEs or new vulnerabilities. Traditional tools will just give you a long list. VulnCheck is an exploit intelligence platform that takes all that mass of information and then provides you with a clear view of the major vulnerabilities that need attention.

A partner or customer has used VulnCheck to take a load of CVE scores or vulnerability scores and then identify which ones are dangerous in the real world. It essentially indicates if a bug is dangerous, shows you how hackers are getting in, and where the attacks are coming from. This is facilitated by the IP intelligence feature, which gives contextualized data that matters because, at the end of the day, it can indicate how quickly a business can be breached or compromised. The core idea is simple, as it examines all different vulnerabilities and provides context to which ones have been found and how they can breach your organization.

I am focused on enterprise security teams and government critical national infrastructure, all collating data. What VulnCheck does is based on real-life exploitability and is continuously updated with intelligence to focus on what really matters. It does not generate a long list full of noise and is a very proactive solution.

In my opinion, the best feature of VulnCheck is the vulnerability intelligence piece, which enriches vulnerability data beyond just standard databases. It provides context regarding the validity of exploit availability and the attacker's activity. Essentially, it can answer the question: Is this bug dangerous? Could it breach us in a real-world attack? Another valuable feature is the IP intelligence, which identifies attackers' infrastructure, specifically the command and control servers, showing where the attacks are originating from.

Our customers and partners typically use the IP intelligence feature by employing AI and ML to find, connect, and prioritize signals indicating that a vulnerability is being exploited. It is not a single model; it is a pipeline of data collection with enrichment and scoring, and I also utilize AI extraction. This is where AI kicks in to highlight what is vulnerable, providing a kind of correlation.

I would probably say that the main feature of VulnCheck is its ability to cut down all the noise and provide a scoring of how you are going to get attacked and breached. It then utilizes intelligence to show you where the attacker is located.

VulnCheck needs improvement in terms of data. It is primarily an intelligence and data layering system and not a complete vulnerability management platform. This means that it lacks native patch workflows, so you do not have asset discovery as you would with Tenable or Qualys. You will require other tools to act on the data that you find, which necessitates engineering time for API integration, data mapping, and tuning. Additionally, not all exploit signs are clear; some can be noisy or ambiguous, so teams need to apply their judgment. Finally, the time to value is not instant; it requires integration, workflow changes, and team training.

I think VulnCheck is an excellent tool and valuable data resource. However, if you wish to send alerts via an API to platforms like Rapid7 or Tenable VM, you will need to integrate that with a SIEM solution to perform any kind of risk management.

I have been using this product for a year and a half. 

Although I do not have the exact numbers for VulnCheck, I can categorize the ROI into three buckets: preventing breaches, which is the most significant value; faster detection, which translates to real savings; and operational efficiency, which is often hidden but represents a real ROI. The average breach costs around five million, and incidents can be stopped by monitoring vulnerabilities on a daily basis. VulnCheck detects exploitable vulnerabilities days to weeks earlier than alternatives, with customer detection averaging just under six and a half days sooner than most competing products, resulting in an estimated $145,000 risk avoided per incident and about $700,000 risk avoided.

VulnCheck has shifted the mindset within my organization and my partners from a reactive to a more proactive approach. By contextualizing vulnerabilities and understanding how people get breached, VulnCheck gives us the ability to adopt a proactive mindset rather than a reactive one. More often than not, a reactive approach leads to responding to breaches instead of being on top of vulnerability management.

I would definitely recommend looking into VulnCheck as a solution.

I think it is a really good tool to find vulnerabilities and help identify what is exploitable within your infrastructure. However, if you are seeking something to manage or take action on your vulnerabilities, you will still need a vulnerability management tool or a SIEM solution to facilitate any actions. Overall, it is an easy-to-use tool that provides simple ways to view risks without much noise.

VulnCheck serves as our primary vulnerability management platform for managing organizational vulnerabilities. VulnCheck is exceptional because it provides not only CVE listings of exploited vulnerabilities but also known exploited vulnerabilities, referred to as KEV, enabling us to assess ransomware associations and proof-of-concept availability. This allows us to ensure that our EPSS score is reliable and receive notifications for any vulnerabilities that are globally exposed.

As a vulnerability management tool, VulnCheck scans our on-premise environment and cloud infrastructure, primarily on AWS. It provides comprehensive results of all vulnerabilities present on our endpoints, servers, hosts, or network devices. VulnCheck also provides the initial CVSS score for all vulnerabilities, which is later elevated to EPSS scores based on breaches recorded worldwide, including known exploited vulnerabilities, ransomware associations, proof-of-concept availability, and attacker activity in the environment. We conduct these local and hybrid scans throughout our organization and prioritize the vulnerabilities for remediation.

We have scheduled scans during our downtimes on Sundays and Saturdays, allowing us to receive comprehensive updates regarding vulnerabilities across our public cloud and on-premises environments. This approach ensures reliable updates and visibility on vulnerabilities, where VulnCheck's scans are quick and efficient, unlike Rapid7, which often fails to accurately scan cloud resources.

VulnCheck has positively impacted our organization. Initially, we had thousands of vulnerabilities on the server side. After introducing VulnCheck, we constantly monitor the vulnerabilities and the EPSS score, which updates based on real threats associated with existing vulnerabilities in the market. This has enabled us to identify, correlate, and find solutions to upgrade our systems, servers, hosts, and network devices, ensuring everything is up-to-date and secure from potential attackers. Therefore, VulnCheck plays a crucial role for us, and the reporting is clear and to the point, making the major vulnerability patching process simple and efficient.

Before using VulnCheck, our vulnerability count exceeded 4,000, but after three to four months of using it, we are down to just hundreds, which represents the major improvement we have seen on the server level. The endpoints and network devices are managed effectively because we can reboot and patch them as needed.

The best features VulnCheck offers are the feasible scans it provides and the local and hybrid scans that are very helpful for gathering vulnerability details and prioritizing the exploits or vulnerabilities happening worldwide. Additionally, the comprehensive exploit intelligence, including all the POCs and ransomware associations, stands out. The detailed descriptions of all present vulnerabilities along with emerging threats, well-documented details, and frequent updates of threat intelligence contribute significantly to reducing the remediation workload by prioritizing the vulnerabilities that matter most.

VulnCheck is an emerging next-generation AI-implemented vulnerability security tool, and its governance and security capabilities are impressive. The AI capabilities enhance the EPSS scores, making them more specific and helpful for prioritizing remediation. VulnCheck is a reliable tool that supports multi-tenancy and multi-cloud environments, with effective scans for both on-premises and cloud assets. It is essentially a one-stop solution for all vulnerability management needs.

VulnCheck outputs are very consistent, with a level of precision in outputs, and the remediation status for vulnerabilities is immediately actionable as soon as we complete remediation. The stability of daily vulnerability intelligence operations is maintained, with a consistent threat integration feed and API responses delivering smooth updates.

Regarding improvements needed for VulnCheck, there are not many areas, as the pre-built integrations with common vulnerability scanners and SIMS are seamless. Integration with ITSM ticketing tools is also quite good. However, it would be beneficial to have more customizable dashboards and executive-level reporting, as well as improved visibility into vulnerability remediation.

I chose a rating of nine for VulnCheck because some parts, such as the implementation aspect and the patch remediation trackers, are lacking. Additionally, VulnCheck could benefit from providing simpler executable dashboards and more conceptual insights, potentially taking references from Rapid7 for the reporting and remediation project areas.

I have been using VulnCheck for more than 1.5 years.

VulnCheck is stable, and I have not experienced any issues with uptime or reliability.

VulnCheck scales exceptionally in our organization, regardless of size. As an AI-driven and cloud-hosted tool, it integrates efficiently with enterprise vulnerability management workflows and supports a large number of assets and vulnerability records without needing additional infrastructure.

We have not engaged with VulnCheck's customer support because we already use multiple vulnerability tools. However, others have reported positive responses and helpful documentation available regarding various reports missing in the tool.

Before utilizing VulnCheck, we used Rapid7 InsightIDR. Switching to VulnCheck is cost-effective and reliable, using VulnCheck intelligence for risk-based remediation instead of merely prioritizing vulnerabilities by CVSS score. We continuously monitor newly published KEVs and exploit intelligence for timely risk management, highlighting significant improvements in risk-based vulnerability management and efficient remediation processes.

We previously used Rapid7 due to scanning issues, but after switching to VulnCheck, our operations have improved considerably. Pricing for VulnCheck is more favorable compared to Rapid7.

Since using VulnCheck, we see a significant return on investment as we no longer spend excessive time on scanning, which was an issue with Rapid7. VulnCheck provides a solid security vulnerability management solution that allows SOC analysts to work more efficiently without wasting time.

I do not have visibility on the pricing, setup costs, and licensing for VulnCheck, as only higher management is involved in those decision-making processes.

We did not evaluate other options before selecting VulnCheck.

I have completed everything regarding my main use case and any unique ways I use VulnCheck in my environment. I have added all the points regarding VulnCheck. If you are looking for a one-stop solution for vulnerability management that offers lower costs and superior visibility into vulnerabilities, then VulnCheck is the right choice. We do not use the operational exploit artifacts provided by VulnCheck. My overall rating for VulnCheck is nine out of ten.

My main use case for VulnCheck is vulnerability intelligence and prioritization, especially to identify which vulnerabilities are actively exploited.

The best features VulnCheck offers are exploit intelligence and KEV-style tracking, real-time vulnerability enrichment, API integration with existing tools, and clear prioritization based on risk.

VulnCheck's real-time vulnerability enrichment and API integration have significantly helped my workflow. This provides a practical vulnerability management experience rather than textbook answers. From my experience with VulnCheck, this is one of the most valuable features. We often see hundreds of CVEs from scans, but not all are actually dangerous. VulnCheck helps us identify which vulnerabilities are being actively exploited or are listed as similar to known exploited vulnerabilities. Instead of patching everything blindly, we focus first on vulnerabilities that attackers are actively using, which makes our response much more practical.

When a new CVE comes in, VulnCheck adds details including exploit availability, attack complexity, and real-world usage. Instead of just seeing the CVSS score, we understand the actual risk, which helps in better decision-making. We integrated VulnCheck with our vulnerability scanning and SIEM tools, and when vulnerabilities are detected, the API enriches them automatically with threat intelligence. This reduces manual effort and speeds up prioritization. The clear prioritization based on risk is probably the biggest day-to-day benefit. Instead of handling hundreds of vulnerabilities equally, we focus on actively exploited ones, internet-facing assets, and critical systems, which helps us reduce the noise and focus on what really matters.

The most important features—exploit intelligence and prioritization—have the biggest impact on real life. In our organization, the biggest impact is that exploit intelligence and knowing whether a vulnerability is actively being exploited changes how we spend our resources. It helps reduce the noise from vulnerability scans by focusing on what really matters.

VulnCheck's UI and reporting can be improved for better visibility. More customization in dashboards and reporting would be helpful for management-level insights.

I have been using VulnCheck for around one year.

VulnCheck is stable.

VulnCheck scales well since it is API-driven.

Support for VulnCheck is very responsive, active, and helpful.

We relied on a basic vulnerability scanner and public CVE databases previously.

We have seen ROI mainly through better prioritization and reduced effort on low-impact vulnerabilities.

The pricing is reasonable for the value VulnCheck provides, especially for threat intelligence. We evaluated the differentiation and licensing options.

We looked at other threat intelligence sources and platforms.

Do not rely only on CVSS scores; instead, use tools such as VulnCheck to understand real-world risk. In today's environment, prioritization is key, and VulnCheck helps focus on vulnerabilities that actually matter. I would rate this review an 8.

I primarily use VulnCheck for newly discovered vulnerabilities and the remediation time period for those vulnerabilities, with the team reviewing the severities.

Using VulnCheck with real-world threat data, it has a capability where it updates 14 days before the NVD National Vulnerability Database has updated.

That is my main use case for VulnCheck.

I find that VulnCheck's best features include using CVSS, mapping it to the MITRE ATT&CK framework, and tagging indicators of compromise.

The features of mapping CVSS to the MITRE ATT&CK framework and tagging indicators of compromise help my team assess risks based on the severity: high, medium, low, and common.

The unique feature of VulnCheck is the 14-day advance notice, as it provides data on exploits with exploits, which is a very quick update compared to the NVD and open CVEs.

VulnCheck positively impacts my organization by enabling risk-based reduction, identifying actively exploited vulnerabilities, and providing valuable insights.

When I mention service-based reduction and identifying active risks, I notice faster remediation times and that we are compliant as per the SOC 2 Type 2 terms, which is the best threat intel so far.

I wish VulnCheck could improve by having a scoring system that is domain-based, IP-based, and reputation-based, along with an internal capability for checking internal inventory vulnerabilities.

My main addition about needed improvements is that if VulnCheck works on the inventory of the software my organization uses, it would be really helpful.

I have been using VulnCheck for over a year.

VulnCheck is stable.

VulnCheck demonstrates good scalability.

I find that customer support is good, and I'm impressed.

Previously, I used a security scorecard, a domain rating level scorecard that provides a security rating, but it didn't have as many capabilities, so I switched to VulnCheck.

Currently, I find the pricing of VulnCheck to be reasonable and not much expensive.

Before choosing VulnCheck, I compared it with Security Scorecard, and that was the extent of my evaluation.

As a security engineer, I find it very easy and manageable to understand the exploitation data provided by VulnCheck's first-party exploitation intelligence.

With VulnCheck's early exploit visibility, I can remediate vulnerabilities quickly, making timely decisions before the vulnerabilities are known to the public and hackers.

I utilize operational exploit artifacts provided by VulnCheck, which help me prioritize them sooner based on severities and check the exploit status in terms of how deep the exploit can penetrate.

VulnCheck's scanless exposure insight feature is useful whenever scanning is not permitted, allowing me to perform vulnerability checks.

I have utilized the Initial Access Intelligence (IAI) artifacts, which add value to my security measures through data validation, active checks, and access control, ensuring only authorized users can access.

It is about the remediation of vulnerabilities to make it faster and to make sooner decisions based on the exploit status, which is the main factor.

I advise others looking into using VulnCheck to ensure it is useful for their specific needs and to check if the scope matches what VulnCheck offers.

I would rate this product a 9 out of 10.

My main use case for VulnCheck is vulnerability checks, which allows us to check what vulnerabilities we have in our dependencies, ensuring we are on the latest versions of the dependencies we are using in the code, and it also manages the CVSS score.

The primary use case of VulnCheck is to enhance our vulnerability management by helping us identify vulnerabilities that are already actively exploited. For example, the CVSS score of Log4j, which is a well-known vulnerability, can be easily detected across all modules and potentially entangled between different modules. These are critical scenarios as we prioritize our remediation efforts based on exploit intelligence rather than relying solely on CVSS scores.

When VulnCheck flagged the Log4j vulnerability, it provided an alert to the security team, which was handed over as a Jira ticket. We fixed it right away. It was not a production issue because production had a version without that CVSS score, but the vulnerability was real and we checked everything behind the VPN.

I use VulnCheck for vulnerability checks, as we prioritize vulnerabilities across the entire infrastructure, allowing our security team to focus on critical risks, reducing remediation time by presenting everything on one page and improving the overall vulnerability management system.

VulnCheck offers helpful endpoint security, providing centralized visibility and enabling us to automate incident response effectively, translating that to the actual team responsible for fixes. Additionally, we really appreciate its backup and disaster recovery features and commendable network access control.

The biggest benefit of automated incident response with VulnCheck is reducing overall time in identifying and solving problems right away, which has reduced our mean time to recovery in scenarios where we need to identify vulnerabilities, as we already have complete information on the page to address the exact issue.

VulnCheck positively impacts our organization by allowing us to manage our secrets properly. We use the platform to detect exposed APIs, passwords, tokens, and other sensitive credentials across source codes or repositories, ensuring no API is exposed during our CI/CD pipeline and allowing us to maintain strong security policies for our cloud applications.

VulnCheck's early exploit visibility has positively influenced our threat response strategy by enabling us to check vulnerabilities faster while reducing overall time. We utilize a bot called Raccoon that creates a PR based on this exploitation data.

The scanless exposure insight feature of VulnCheck effectively provides exposure mapping without active scanning, as it maps everything first and only checks for changes, which saves time during CI/CD runs.

We have utilized the Initial Access Intelligence artifacts to better understand how attackers gain access to our systems, significantly improving our security posture by supporting faster threat hunting.

We have utilized VulnCheck's machine-readable threat intelligence feeds and API integrations, automating threat responses and eliminating manual analysis, giving us an edge in managing vulnerabilities.

I'm not completely sure how VulnCheck can be improved, but based on my experience, it does what it says, covering most features reliably. However, I suggest improvements in the reporting dashboard and customization for management understanding.

For the needed improvements, I would recommend making it simpler, as the current reporting is more catered to engineering, while management should easily access the dashboard. It should be straightforward enough for anyone to check.

Regarding VulnCheck's AI capabilities, I find that it currently lacks AI-driven capabilities. It mainly utilizes vulnerability checks and could benefit from integrating a small chatbot for better prioritization and summarization of vulnerabilities.

I have been working in my current field for two and a half years.

We evaluated other options before choosing VulnCheck, and I can confirm that it is stable. We have not faced any problems.

In terms of scalability, I have not experienced any issues. I'm not the primary manager of scalability, but there have been no trouble signs.

VulnCheck's customer support is good, and I have no complaints. They have been very helpful.

We previously used Tenable but switched due to pricing issues. This switch was not something I directly decided.

We have seen a return on investment, observing a reduction of 20% to 30% in critical and high-risk vulnerabilities due to the automated end-to-end flow, which significantly enhances our efficiency.

We have covered everything around VulnCheck's aspects that need discussion.

I have not utilized the operational exploit artifacts provided by VulnCheck.

I'm not using the Canary Intelligence feature. The security team manages it, and they may be utilizing it, but I do not have extensive information on that.

We have observed a measurable reduction in our vulnerability backlog since using VulnCheck, estimating a decrease of 20% to 35% for high-priority vulnerabilities and reducing our mean time to remediation for critical vulnerabilities by around 30%. I would rate this review an 8 out of 10.
