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.
Shreevinayak Deshpande - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Pros

"Armis is very easy to implement due to its agentless design and offers a granular level of visibility for all assets in the network."
"The technology is good."
"Armis is a straightforward and user-friendly solution."
"The tool is user-friendly and helps to detect vulnerabilities."
"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."
"The initial setup and deployment were simple."
"The solution’s vulnerability monitoring system is very good."
"It has allowed us to bring together multiple sources of information from different signal sources into a single point."
"The most notable aspects include having prioritization capabilities and custom scripts."
"There is a lot of flexibility in exporting, making it a really good feature. The exporting flexibility based on application type is commendable and provides significant value."
"Vulcan Cyber is a very good tool."
"Vulcan Cyber has helped reduce our organization’s mean time to remediation."
"Vulcan Cyber helps us prioritize the vulnerabilities that are really exploitable and our point of interest for the industry based on the threat intelligence that we get."
"They recently upgraded their UI, which is great. It is user-friendly."

Cons

"We face issues during implementation."
"Armis could improve its geographic spread and marketing campaigns across regions."
"The solution's vulnerability testing could be improved."
"Armis doesn't have a back intel feature."
"Like any IT tool, continuous learning and improvement are essential for the solution."
"We face difficulties in integrating the product with ticketing tools like ServiceNow."
"There isn't anything specific that needs improvement."
"We have faced issues with the tool's stability."
"Monitoring of the evolution of campaigns and perhaps having more customized options for monitoring them would be great."
"Improvements are needed in providing more concise details on how to apply remedies for particular vulnerabilities. I would like to have more information about the remedies for particular vulnerabilities so that we do not have to go through the CVE numbers and relevant pages to check for a particular vulnerability and its remedy."
"There are several areas needing improvement. The product helps, but the reporting relies heavily on Power BI. It is limited to graphical views and requires additional filtering, posing operational challenges."
"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."
"It would be extremely helpful to have a community group around the product."
"Their support is good, but there are some flaws as well."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is cheap."
"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."
"Our leadership knows better about the pricing. As per my knowledge, which might not be accurate, its price can come down."
