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."

Doesn’t identify threats and vulnerabilities, and the reports are quite useless
We run the penetration testing and look at the reports. The reports are quite useless. We are looking for a different product. The tool did not help enhance our organization's cybersecurity posture. The reports had a lot of false positives. They didn't detect anything. The tool didn’t identify any vulnerabilities. The solution must detect threats and vulnerabilities.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of the solution is its integration capabilities with the other security tools."
"You have the liberty of physically executing a specific set of rules in your environment."
"It provides good reports and offers signature-based solutions."
"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."
"One of the most valuable features would be the detection capability, specifically the ability to detect alarms and logs collected from SIEM tools."
"Overall, I'd rate NodeZero at nine to 9.5 out of ten."
"Penetration testing and scans are useful features."
 

Cons

"There is room for improvement in the response rate provided by customer support."
"To improve, Picus Security could consider establishing a data center in India to address trust issues and increase interest from Indian customers."
"The amount of integrations that the product can handle is an area of concern, making it one of the aspects where improvements are required."
"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."
"According to the attack vectors, you cannot specify which product is failing or which product is working well because there's no agent."
"The reporting and data analysis could be improved. Specifically, the analysis of the results."
"The reports are quite useless."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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