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.

Good features for infrastructure application; lacking in integrations with other software
There is always room for improvement in all products. With BMC I'd like to see the ability to integrate with other software. For example, having a CMDB, access to Qualys, or because we've found something from BMC, to be able to work closely to find a solution. The idea would be that it's all updated from one point automatically. I'm looking for third-party applications and integrations with other software.

Empower clients with risk-based vulnerability management through continuous workflow and valuable insights
Tenable Security Center could improve by implementing more dynamic data displays and translating reports into European languages. This is especially relevant in Central Eastern Europe, where clients often require reports in local languages. Additionally, the licensing model could be more flexible for managed security providers, similar to a pay-as-you-go model.

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."
"Takes reports from other vulnerabilities."
"The solution is completely stable and operation is user-friendly."
"This product has the best results in terms of the lowest number of false-positives and false-negatives."
"It allows financial institutions to compare their vulnerability management to others in the same sector."
"The scanning part, the agent part – that's the valuable aspect."
"What is useful to me is being able to fulfill very customized scanning policies. In the clinical environment, because of vendor control, we can't perform credential-vulnerability scanning. And network scans, which I've done before, can cause a lot of impact. Being able to create very customized policies to be able to routinely scan and audit our clinical networks, while simultaneously not causing impact, is important to us."
"It's a very useful tool."
"The Auto-Remediate feature is good."
"Overall, I rate the solution 9.8 out of 10."
 

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."
"No third-party applications or integrations with additional software solutions."
"At times we have had the typical bugs."
"The reports and plugins for reports and scans could benefit from enhancements."
"Deploying Tenable.sc is highly complex because it's an on-prem solution, whereas Tenable.io is cloud-based, so you can go live as soon as you log in. Tenable.sc involves significant integration with other on-prem solutions, and the deployment takes about two to three weeks with the help of a system integrator"
"Though the solution's technical support is responsive, they do take a lot of time, making it one of the solution's shortcomings that needs improvement."
"I will say it's a lot slower compared to an MS scan. It takes so much longer, so the performance could definitely be worked on."
"The solution should include compliance-based scanning."
"The product should provide risk-based vulnerability management."
"It's important for Tenable to catch up on testing capabilities that are present in solutions like Qualys."

"I use a local license to perform penetration testing and I'm pretty happy with everything when it comes to pricing and licensing."
"It is slightly more expensive than other solutions in the same sphere."
"We're a Fortune 500 company... our licensing costs [are] in the seven figures."
