Weekly insights and risk analysis facilitate informed security decisions

I appreciate the weekly insights Zafran provides, which include critical topics for networks and IT security, allowing us to evaluate which insights apply to our environment. The organization score feature is valuable to keep the leadership team updated on how our infrastructure fares security-wise. The applicable risk level versus base risk level feature is beneficial because prior to Zafran, we only used the base risk level, but now understand that risk depends on the asset itself. Zafran is an excellent tool.

Helps to conduct vulnerability scans but needs to add more integrations

There are companies that do vulnerability scans. However, what adds value is when two experts come and sit with you to scan and patch the vulnerabilities. Any 50-member or small company that has an IT footprint carries risk from a cybersecurity perspective. These companies use tools but don't have the talent to leverage them.

Syed Hasan

Specialist Leader at Deloitte

Partner experiences excellent technical support and seamless initial setup

In my opinion, if we are able to extract or show the report, and because everything is going towards agent tech and GenAI, it would be beneficial if it could get integrated with our code base and do the fix automatically. It could suggest how the code base is written and automatically populate the source code with three different solution options to choose from. This would be really helpful.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."

"Overall, we have seen about eighty-seven percent reduction of the number of vulnerabilities that require urgency to remediate, specifically the number of criticals."

"We saw benefits from Zafran Security almost immediately after deploying it."

"Zafran is an excellent tool."

"We have a patch management solution that scans for any patches that can be applied and then applies these patches, but it doesn't hit everything. It also doesn't find all misconfigurations and things like that. Arctic Wolf Managed Risk kind of fills in the gaps and makes us aware of vulnerabilities or misconfigurations that exist out there. It does an agent scan for software versions and compares them to what CVs are out there and lets us know."

"The reporting is really good from what I've seen so far."

"We get access to quarterly reviews with their team."

"There are companies that do vulnerability scans. However, what adds value is when two experts come and sit with you to scan and patch the vulnerabilities. Any 50-member or small company that has an IT footprint carries risk from a cybersecurity perspective. These companies use tools but don't have the talent to leverage them."

"This solution has made huge strides in improving the awareness of our end users."

"I appreciate the professionalism of the tool and have faith in the results it delivers."

"The most valuable feature of Arctic Wolf Managed Risk is being informed about what vulnerabilities there are exposed currently."

"The user-friendly interface and customizable reporting have helped our IT team interpret and act on the platform's insights."

More Arctic Wolf Managed Risk pros

"It is very useful because it fits our requirements. It is also easy to use. It is not complex, and we are satisfied with the results."

"The SAST component was absolutely 100% stable."

"Vulnerability details is valuable."

"It has all the features we need."

"The administration in Checkmarx is very good."

"The main thing we find valuable about Checkmarx is the ease of use. It's easy to initiate scans and triage defects."

"We use the solution for dynamic application testing."

"From my point of view, it is the best product on the market."

More Checkmarx One pros

Cons

"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."

"It could be easier to use. They could present things in a little bit more ranked order rather than kind of giving you everything out there. It should highlight the really important stuff and make it easier to get to good rather than perfect."

"There are some challenges with integrations in Arctic Wolf Managed Risk. Some integrations could be improved to enhance functionality."

"The best way to take this product to the next level would be to implement a patch management solution."

"The major area for improvement is the lack of a patch management feature to resolve some of the vulnerabilities detected."

"The scalability could improve."

"The presentation of the data could be improved. I believe they have significant room for improvement, particularly in making better analysis of the vulnerability data and presenting those data more effectively."

"As far as the product is concerned, I would really like the scanning feature to let us know that a threat has been addressed once we apply the relevant patch. We are not seeing this currently when running a scan."

"The presentation of the data could be improved."

More Arctic Wolf Managed Risk cons

"Integration into the SDLC (i.e. support for last version of SonarQube) could be added."

"I can't create a business case with multiple-factor authentication."

"It provides us with quite a handful of false positive issues. If Checkmarx could reduce this number, it would be a great tool to use."

"As the solution becomes more complex and feature rich, it takes more time to debug and resolve problems. Feature-wise, we have no complaints, but Checkmarx becomes harder to maintain as the product becomes more complex. When I talk to support, it takes them longer to fix the problem than it used to."

"They should make it more container-friendly and optimized for the CI pipeline. They should make it a little less heavy. Right now, it requires a SQL database, and the way the tool works is that it has an engine and then it has an analysis database in which it stores the information. So, it is pretty heavy from that perspective because you have to have a full SQL Server. They're working on something called Checkmarx Light, which is a slim-down version. They haven't released it yet, but that's what we need. There should be something a little more slimmed down that can just run the analysis and output the results in a format that's readable as opposed to having a full, really big, and thick deployment with a full database server."

"Checkmarx could improve the REST APIs by including automation."

"Implementing a blackout time for any user or teams: Needs improvement."

"Checkmarx reports many false positives that we need to manually segregate and mark “Not exploitable”."

More Checkmarx One cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"It depends on the company size quite a bit."

"The price of Arctic Wolf Managed Risk is reasonable compared to the competition."

"Arctic Wolf Managed Risk is reasonably priced and I rate it a four out of ten."

"If you want more, you have to pay more. You have to pay for additional modules or functionalities."

"Its price is fair. It is in or around the right spot. Ultimately, if the price is wrong, customers won't commit, but they do tend to commit. It is neither too cheap nor too expensive."

"Checkmarx is not a cheap scanning tool, but none of the security tools are cheap. Checkmarx is a powerful scanning tool, and it’s essential to have one of these products."

"It is a good product but a little overpriced."

"It is not expensive, but sometimes, their pricing model or licensing model is not very clear. There are similar variables, such as projects or developers, and sometimes, it is a little bit confusing."

"The number of users and coverage for languages will have an impact on the cost of the license."

"The solution's price is high and you pay based on the number of users."

"The average deal size was usually anywhere between $120K to $175K on an annual basis, which could be divided across 12 months."
