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

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

"Zafran is an excellent tool."

"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."

"Zafran has become an indispensable tool in our cybersecurity arsenal."

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

"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."

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

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

"The customer support is incredible."

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

More Arctic Wolf Managed Risk pros

"The ability to track the vulnerabilities inside the code (origin and destination of weak variables or functions)."

"It gives the proper code flow of vulnerabilities and the number of occurrences."

"The most valuable features of Checkmarx are its integration with multiple SCM solutions and CICD tools, its ability to scale according to user licenses, and the quick scanning process."

"Scan reviews can occur during the development lifecycle."

"The main benefit to using this solution is that we find vulnerabilities in our software before the development cycle is complete."

"The most valuable feature of Checkmarx is the user interface, it is very easy to use. We do not need to configure anything, we only have to scan to see the results."

More Checkmarx One pros

Cons

"The dashboarding and reporting functionality of Zafran Security is an area that definitely could use some improvements."

"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."

"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."

"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 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."

"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."

"The scalability could improve."

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

"Arctic Wolf Managed Risk needs to add more integrations."

More Arctic Wolf Managed Risk cons

"Micro-services need to be included in the next release."

"Checkmarx could be improved with more integration with third-party software."

"It is an expensive solution."

"Some were valid and some were not applicable for us based on the scenario."

"We can run only one project at a time."

"The interactive application security testing, or IAST, the interactive part where you're looking at an application that lives in a runtime environment on a server or virtual machine, needs improvement."

"We would like to be able to run scans from our local system, rather than having to always connect to the product server, which is a longer process."

"Checkmarx has a slightly difficult compilation with the CI/CD pipeline."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

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

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

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

"The interface used to create custom rules comes at an additional cost."

"I believe pricing is better compared to other commercial tools."

"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."

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

"The tool's pricing is fine."

"The solution is costly."

"We have purchased an annual license to use this solution. The price is reasonable."

"We got a special offer for a 30% reduction for three years, after our first year. I think for a real source-code scanning tool, you have to add a lot of money for Open Source Analysis, and AppSec Coach (160 Euro per user per year)."
