Offers contextual prioritization and risk-based remediation of vulnerability
An improvement would be some sort of an integration with any GRC suite. There are a lot of GRC suites available, like Archer, MetricStream, Rsam, Protiviti, for example. So how would a solution like this work if my company has already invested thousands or maybe millions in a GRC solution? Do I still need it and how does it fit into an existing SAP environment? There could be interoperability, having more data sources, integrating Splunk, Qualys, FireEye, Rapid7, Carbon Black. I'm sure all that can be done to an extent, with a little more insight and a little more accuracy on the industry numbers and trends. I'd like the solution to offer any sort of assistance in any way with the remediation part, not just identification of vulnerability risk, and that is second.
Shakeel Ahmad - PeerSpot reviewer
Brilliant audit report and scorecard but scans often get blocked by firewalls
The solution cannot scan third-party tools that have firewalls within them. The firewalls detect and block the solution. Conversely, Nexus is able to bypass firewalls because it has low detectability. We use Nexus when the solution cannot bypass a firewall. The solution can scan 60% of the time but Nexus can scan 90% of the time. The solution needs to improve its vulnerability design to include CVC results. Nexus has a good, long range and a good database for finding CVC numbers. We need this level of security detail but the solution does not seem to provide it.
