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.

Provides an intuitive interface and a comprehensive view of assets and vulnerabilities
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. A more detailed view of how the remedy should be applied to a particular asset would be good. Overall, it is pretty simple to check the vulnerabilities and view the remedies, but we need to do some additional research online to review exactly what to do to mitigate those issues. It would be beneficial if the platform allowed remote access to devices for immediate remedies. Rather than logging in manually on the device, we should be able to remote in through the Vulcan Cyber application. They could also include features for backups and disaster recovery.

"The interface of Vulcan Cyber is intuitive with a lot of information about vulnerabilities, which helps in classifying and analyzing threats. We have a good view of assets and vulnerabilities. It helps to do good threat analysis because we can see exactly what the threat is and assess it accordingly."
"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 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."
 

Cons

"There isn't anything specific that needs improvement."
"We face issues during implementation."
"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 have faced issues with the tool's stability."
"We face difficulties in integrating the product with ticketing tools like ServiceNow."
"Mainly, what I would like from them is more maintenance of the different connectors they have in the platform."
"The performance is bad. The query and the UI are always slow, and it's quite frustrating. Vulcan is trying to solve this with a newer design. The dashboard is also crowded. It pulls in all this raw information that you need to filter. Vulcan has filtering capabilities, but they're hard to manage. The labels aren't very clear, so you need to do things by trial and error. It's not as easy as other tools we've been using."
"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."

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."
