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.
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

"Zafran is an excellent tool."
"Zafran has become an indispensable tool in our cybersecurity arsenal."
"The technology is good."
"The initial setup and deployment were simple."
"Armis is very easy to implement due to its agentless design and offers a granular level of visibility for all assets in the network."
"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 tool is user-friendly and helps to detect vulnerabilities."
"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."
"Vulcan Cyber gives the remediation team the focus points."
"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."
"One of the features that I find valuable is the ability to bifurcate the report according to the many options available."
"Vulcan Cyber offers a single pane of glass for centralizing our security data."
"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 has allowed us to bring together multiple sources of information from different signal sources into a single point."
"Out of the three solutions I've used, Vulcan Cyber is the superior option."
"It is very good when it comes to ingesting information from different sources and then displaying this information in an easy-to-use platform."
 

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."
"We face issues during implementation."
"We face difficulties in integrating the product with ticketing tools like ServiceNow."
"Like any IT tool, continuous learning and improvement are essential for the solution."
"We have faced issues with the tool's stability."
"Armis could improve its geographic spread and marketing campaigns across regions."
"Armis doesn't have a back intel feature."
"The solution's vulnerability testing could be improved."
"An important area is performance and speed, as Vulcan Cyber often lacks speed when exporting reports."
"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."
"Their support is good, but there are some flaws as well."
"If there was a way for me to connect to the vendor directly from the application, it would be helpful."
"We wish we had more insights into how they weigh the risks associated with the threat intel."
"The fact that we cannot use it for our reporting leads me to rate it three out of ten."
"Improvements are needed in providing more concise details on how to apply remedies for particular vulnerabilities."
"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."
 

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."
