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.

Comprehensive asset visibility and OT operations support enhance risk mitigation
I use Armis for asset discovery and vulnerability assessments of the OT network Armis is easy to use. Very few software solutions have OT capabilities that do not impact OT operations. Its asset visibility is good as well. This comprehensive feature set is crucial for our operations.…

Makes vulnerability management efficient with a single pane of glass and daily report generation
There are areas for improvement. Initially, when onboarding Vulcan Cyber, the setup and configuration was more complex than expected with a user-friendly approach. This aspect can be enhanced. An important area is performance and speed, as Vulcan Cyber often lacks speed when exporting reports. The team might have to work on scaling up servers. When we click on a vulnerability, it takes ten seconds to pop up a window and show the entire content. Instead of that, they can put a down arrow, and all the details should be shown on clicking the arrow. This will prevent that ten-second delay. Another area for improvement is providing support and documentation for their tool. Users should have access to easy-to-understand trial documentation for reference.

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."
"We are able to see the real risk of a vulnerability on our environment with our security tools."
"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."
"Armis is easy to use."
"The initial setup and deployment were simple."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is asset tracking."
"Armis saves time by automating asset inventory management, allowing enterprises to quickly strategize by understanding their assets and exposures."
"Armis is a straightforward and user-friendly solution."
"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."
"Vulcan Cyber has helped reduce our organization’s mean time to remediation."
"Vulcan enables us to automate tickets from multiple scanners. It has lots of analytics options that show us charts and allow us to view the statuses in different waves. The dashboard is nice because it's highly informative about the big picture."
"It is very good when it comes to ingesting information from different sources and then displaying this information in an easy-to-use platform."
"Vulcan Cyber gives the remediation team the focus points."
"Now that the solution is onboarded, we are saving a lot of time. We're saving roughly four to ten hours a week."
"Vulcan Cyber offers a single pane of glass for centralizing our security data."
"The most notable aspects include having prioritization capabilities and custom scripts."
"I was part of the initial deployment. It was pretty easy. To fully deploy, it took about three or four weeks."
 

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."
"There isn't anything specific that needs improvement."
"Armis doesn't have a back intel feature."
"The vulnerability assessment for Windows is not that great. It misses out on a lot of vulnerabilities."
"Like any IT tool, continuous learning and improvement are essential for the solution."
"We have faced issues with the tool's stability."
"We face difficulties in integrating the product with ticketing tools like ServiceNow."
"The solution's vulnerability testing could be improved."
"There are occasional issues with some built-in integrations that require troubleshooting, particularly with DHCP integration. Developing additional integrations would be beneficial."
"It was a rough year in terms of setup. I had to set it up and onboard it. It was a significant effort from my side at least."
"We have the highest privilege in the application, and at least for members with the highest privilege, having the capability to reach out to the vendor directly from the application would be beneficial."
"Initially, when onboarding Vulcan Cyber, the setup and configuration was more complex than expected with a user-friendly approach. This aspect can be enhanced."
"The product helps, but the reporting relies heavily on Power BI. It is limited to graphical views and requires additional filtering, posing operational challenges."
"I would rate the tool between six and seven because there have been instances when the tool was down, and I couldn't access Cyber reports. Additionally, the Vulcan Cyber team made changes to the tool and did not notify us."
"It would be extremely helpful to have a community group around the product."
"We've faced situations where we required support on a Friday, and support wasn't available."
"An important area is performance and speed, as Vulcan Cyber often lacks speed when exporting reports."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The tool is cheap."
"Our leadership knows better about the pricing. As per my knowledge, which might not be accurate, its price can come down."
"Its pricing is quite fair compared to what is out there in the market, especially compared to the tool from Microsoft. It is a SaaS platform that has an annual cost, so it is something that is already used by many companies. It is quite affordable."
