Featured Reviews

Marc Chapel - PeerSpot reviewer
Stable product with efficient features for listing vulnerabilities
I recommend BitSight because it is very convenient to use. It has become a standard tool used in many companies. It is easy to share a few components of an algorithm for users. It is not ideal as it only reflects some of the reality of Internet-facing applications. However, it is the best solution at the moment. I rate it an eight out of ten.
Mostafa-Ahmed - PeerSpot reviewer
The solution has an easy-to-use user interface that provides quarterly reports about an environment
Cortex Xpanse has an easy-to-use user interface. It has two models: 1. You can get quarterly reports about your environment. 2. If you have a yearly subscription, real-time case reporting and attack surface management. No. 1 benefits smaller companies because they have a huge number of assets. They just need a report in order to work through it. No 2. Targets large-scale companies that will benefit from it as the very fact that it discovers assets and their vulnerabilities is a benefit.

"There may be room for improvement in the methodology for identifying findings, as occasional errors occur on the technical side."

"The solution’s benchmarking should be improved."
