Breach and attack simulation software that provides network, endpoint, and email vectors
According to the attack vectors, you cannot specify which product is failing or which product is working well because there's no agent. The best case scenario is to add an agent solution where an agent would have the ability to actually detect which programs aren't working. For the attack software, you put a peer on the cloud site, and you have another peer internal network. There is IPS, firewall, WAF, and DBS amongst these peers. The cloud's peer is trying to send the attack file to the internal network. Maybe the firewall is blocking it, maybe the IP, maybe the WAF, but you cannot see the details. You can say, "Yes, my security product is blocking that attack scenario," or, "I cannot block this attack."

Good discovery and vulnerability features and is easy to use
I think it's a good product for risk-based or exposure-based vulnerability management. It gives me the ability to identify potential weaknesses in my environment quickly. Once those vulnerabilities get identified on the console, it is only a matter of performing those actions. I would rate it nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It provides good reports and offers signature-based solutions."
"You have the liberty of physically executing a specific set of rules in your environment."
"The most valuable feature of Picus Security is its threat intelligence, providing suggestions to block and prevent attacks by identifying malicious files and providing threat IDs."
"It's very useful software because the customer mostly configures their IPS and manages their firewalls, WAF, and the DBS according to the latest update, latest news, or according to the situation."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its integration capabilities with the other security tools."
"One of the most valuable features would be the detection capability, specifically the ability to detect alarms and logs collected from SIEM tools."
"For me, the setup has been an easy process."
"The feature of vulnerability management and discovery is what I use."
"The product gives us a lot of insight."
"The solution is very easy to set up."
"I think it's a good product for risk-based or exposure-based vulnerability management."
 

Cons

"The reporting and data analysis could be improved. Specifically, the analysis of the results."
"The amount of integrations that the product can handle is an area of concern, making it one of the aspects where improvements are required."
"To improve, Picus Security could consider establishing a data center in India to address trust issues and increase interest from Indian customers."
"There is room for improvement in the response rate provided by customer support."
"According to the attack vectors, you cannot specify which product is failing or which product is working well because there's no agent."
"Let's say if a customer's environment has 10 security devices and they need to know that there is an attack that has bypassed their devices, they cannot go and inspect every device and every rule in their security devices."
"The sensor update is a challenge that Tenable needs to address."
"The sensor update is a challenge that Tenable needs to address. Sometimes they behave abruptly, requiring me to rework reinstalling the sensors on the endpoints."
"Tenable needs to provide a better way to manage private clouds."
"It would be nice if the product provided an agent for enforcing policies."
"The product has limited reporting capabilities and it isn't great at allowing for customization in reports."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is a yearly license according to the number of vectors. The pricing is moderate."
"They have certain price ranges for their products, depending upon the use cases, and the number of applications the customer wants to try."
"The pricing is fair."
