Featured Reviews

Israel Cavazos Landini - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Arun Chauhan - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides a very good vulnerability monitoring system, but the implementation is challenging
We face many issues while implementing Armis in the pharma sector. Some of the customer applications are not supported well by the tool. The applications do not communicate well if we implement Armis. We generally face such issues during implementation. We are planning to implement the product in the wind energy sector, but we don't have any idea how to do it. Currently, it is a very big challenge for us. Products like Dragos, Claroty, and Nozomi provide a much better experience during implementation. If any issues arise, we are told how to resolve such issues during the POC. Armis does not provide the secure remote access feature Claroty provides.
Mahmoud Elhamaymy - PeerSpot reviewer
Reliable scanning and integration strengthen security infrastructure
InsightVM has a very organized GUI with ease of use. The vulnerability scans are reliable, and the credential scan is a beneficial feature. The solution is efficient and trustworthy. It's based on the CVSS risk scoring system, which is well-recognized and effective. The integration capabilities through APIs allow easy integration with existing security infrastructure.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Zafran is an excellent tool."
"Zafran has become an indispensable tool in our cybersecurity arsenal."
"It determines which assets and devices are at risk, alerts you if there's a risk, and categorizes all assets, including personal computers, mobile phones, servers, televisions, cars, and video game consoles."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is asset tracking."
"Armis is a straightforward and user-friendly solution."
"The solution’s vulnerability monitoring system is very good."
"The initial setup and deployment were simple."
"The technology is good."
"The tool is user-friendly and helps to detect vulnerabilities."
"Armis is very easy to implement due to its agentless design and offers a granular level of visibility for all assets in the network."
"This solution is very easy to use and easy to install."
"Rapid7 have a good distribution network with good support and market presence."
"The solution works well."
"The remediation project is a pretty effective because it allows us, as clients or countries, to choose specific assets and set limitations on them for a certain period which allows us to track and follow up on those limitations. However, when it comes to real-time monitoring and live dashboards, InsightVM doesn't quite fit the bill. It's not a real-time solution and is not instant."
"The feature that I have found most valuable is its dashboards."
"The performance is good."
"The product's initial setup phase was very easy."
"The product is scalable."
 

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."
"Armis could improve its geographic spread and marketing campaigns across regions."
"We face difficulties in integrating the product with ticketing tools like ServiceNow."
"We have faced issues with the tool's stability."
"There isn't anything specific that needs improvement."
"Armis doesn't have a back intel feature."
"The solution's vulnerability testing could be improved."
"We face issues during implementation."
"Like any IT tool, continuous learning and improvement are essential for the solution."
"There is room for improvement on its cloud side. In the next release I would like to see better reporting."
"The reporting could be better."
"Within InsightVM, there is no feature to assign a ticket. If we can have more API calls, we can do that from InsightVM."
"InsightVM could be improved by providing passive scanning as an option."
"One area I would like to improve in InsightVM is its integration with other solutions."
"The drawback is that it is still not a fully SaaS solution, so you must deploy a console."
"Some difficulties with the online reporting and lack of integrations."
"Some of our customers want to be completely cloud based, and Rapid7 doesn't offer this as an option."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The tool is cheap."
"It is pretty expensive. It depends on what you consider pricey, however, if you only look at vulnerability management solutions, such as within VM or VMDR, there are, I suppose the prices are almost the same. But I believe you will discover that for yourself."
"In some cases, we procure the licenses. In some cases, the customers directly buy the license from Rapid7."
"We have an annual license to use Rapid7 InsightVM and if we want to extend it, we will possibly choose more than one year."
"Its price is too high. My only concern or issue with Rapid7 is its pricing."
"A full license for the solution is expensive because it is at the organizational level and not by individual users."
"Its licensing is yearly. Everything is included in the price for one year."
"I do not have experience with the pricing of the solution."
"The solution is a bit more reasonably priced than other products."
