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.

Enhances remote access and integration with third-party tools
I use NinjaOne for managing smaller clients, specifically their devices and software, for small to medium businesses. I provide remote management services through NinjaOne. It allows clients to use NinjaOne for remote access to their computers for home office purposes. This feature is highly…

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 has become an indispensable tool in our cybersecurity arsenal."
"We are able to see the real risk of a vulnerability on our environment with our security tools."
"Zafran is an excellent tool."
"The solution's most valuable feature is related to its remote access...I know that NinjaOne's technical support is good."
"The most valuable feature we have found currently is probably patch management."
"The installation is easy, it only took two minutes."
"NinjaOne helps us view the status of software patching, whether the PC is locked or unlocked."
"It helps us to be able to have visibility into the overall performance of the servers, laptops, and desktops that we are managing currently."
"We can use it for remote monitoring, and it also works great as a troubleshooting tool. We are able to open up a command line or a PowerShell session remotely without having to disrupt the user. They have a limited network device monitoring capability, but for workstation servers, we have the event logs. We can do performance monitoring, system changes, software deployment, and patch management. We can also push scripts. It has a very simple web interface. There are no additional things to do there. Security is also pretty good. It does the same things that the other competitor's tools do. One of the advantages of Ninja is that they have a more capable mobile app, which allows you to see the alerts immediately. I get alerted to major critical issues."
"A significant feature of NinjaOne is its remote access capability, which is essential for my clients’ home office usage."
"NinjaOne has a feature where we can create custom scripts that we can run on devices remotely."
"Has a great advanced scanning feature."
"The most valuable features in Tenable SC are scanning and analysis."
"The solution is one of the most, if not the most, stable product available."
"The scanning part, the agent part – that's the valuable aspect."
"The tool gives us fewer false positives. Compared to its competitors, the solution’s reports are more accurate."
"The solution has a lean and easy-to-use interface that is not confusing to first-time users."
"Tenable.sc's best features are the availability model, accident management, and scoring."
"Tenable is the leading product for vulnerability scanning."
 

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."
"I want NinjaOne to improve the reports."
"The NinjaOne distribution server is highly dependent on an active directory."
"Lacks sufficient integrations with other PSAs."
"The remote connectivity could be better. It works most of the time, but sometimes, there are issues."
"The solution could improve by optimizing the internet connection being used."
"NinjaOne's reporting module is cumbersome."
"The inclusion of XENServer and Proxmox as virtual platforms in NinjaOne is currently missing."
"It can have more integrations with third-party providers, such as Deep Instinct. They do partner with certain antivirus or remote access tool partners, but they can increase their portfolio to have more choices."
"The product could be user-friendly, and they could enhance the web application's security features."
"Tenable.sc's user interface could be improved."
"There's a lot of information being streamed out of the reports. What would be nice, and maybe we just haven't found it, would be more of an executive-type view. We still expect it to collect all this information, but we would like a feature that would allow us to show it to an executive or a director or someone like that and give them some type of high-level overview but not get into the nitty-gritty."
"The pricing is reasonable, but this could be brought down more aggressively, such as we see with Rapid7, Tenable SC's main competitor."
"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."
"Tenable's reporting engine needs improvement. It needs to be more efficient and add more features."
"It could be more user-friendly for creating custom reports."
"The solution should include compliance-based scanning."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"We currently pay $1.20 per device on a monthly basis."
"The pricing is reasonable and cheaper than ConnectWise."
"The product's pricing depends on the number of PCs or devices."
"NinjaOne's price is fine since my workplace is an educational institution, so we get the product at a really good price considering that we do not pay taxes, making the prices very fair and worth the product."
"Its pricing is great."
"I rate the solution’s pricing a five out of ten, where one is the lowest and ten is the most expensive."
"We got a pretty good deal. It was fairly affordable."
"It roughly costs $400 a month. It provides a good value because of the number of tools that you get in the solution. I would rate it a four out of five in terms of pricing. There are no additional costs other than the standard licensing fees."
"The price of Tenable SC is expensive, we pay approximately €70,000 for the license annually. We have to pay for each IP test. The cost of other solutions is far less, such as Nessus Professional, which is €3,000 annually."
"I would rate the pricing a nine out of ten, where ten is expensive. It is the most expensive tool my company is using."
"Though reasonable, the main competitor of Tenable SC, Rapid7, offers a more aggressive and better priced product."
"The price can start at €10,000 ($13,000 USD) for between 500 and 1,000 assets, and the price can climb into the millions as more assets are added."
"We're happy with the licensing cost and find it affordable."
"We pay around 60,000 on a yearly basis."
"The tool costs around 15,000 Saudi riyals monthly."
"Costing is pretty reasonable compared to the competition."
