Brilliant audit report and scorecard but scans often get blocked by firewalls
Our company uses the Nexpose automation tools for validity, deactivation, assessment, and penetration testing. We can easily see if something has been exposed and manually focus on or follow main vulnerabilities.  We have 28 users and a JV license key for using the solution in our offline systems…

The visibility and analytics from Securonix SIEM have become indispensable in identifying and stopping potential threats before they escalate.
We use Securonix Next-Gen SIEM primarily for managed SOC, focusing on threat detection, baselining, and ensuring the maturity of our SOC security operations.  It is integrated with threat intelligence and utilizes frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK and the Cyber Kill Chain.  The solution helps in threat…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We can create our own templates."
"When it comes to the process, installation is very easy and does not take long."
"It is good and fits well with pretty much all of our use case needs."
"The feature that I have found most valuable is its dashboards."
"NeXpose is a pretty good vulnerability scanner... There's a nice dashboard."
"The solution is automatically scheduled so it runs by itself."
"The discovery and prioritization of vulnerabilities."
"The most important aspect of the solution is that it rarely gives false positives, especially compared to other products. It provides very clear reports for our IT teams to look at."
"The solution has proven to be stable so far...The solution is easy to scale up."
"One of the most valuable features it has is the thread chaining. One of the common issues that we always had was the number of anomalies that we used to get and the number of alerts that we used to get. But with this approach of thread chaining, we've found the false-positive rate has decreased very significantly. That was something that we never could have achieved before."
"The feature that is most valuable is the fact that it's an open platform, so it allows us to modify policies and tune policies as needed. There's also a feature called Data Insights which allows us to create different dashboards on specific things of interest for us."
"The second feature is that within the SNYPR product there is a functionality called Spotter. We use that for link analysis diagrams and to run the stats command. That's extremely useful because it replaces a tedious, manual process we used to use, using Microsoft Excel and a couple of other methods, to bring data together."
"The most valuable feature is what Securonix calls enrichment. Securonix is very powerful because of all the data it can process and automatically enrich. The actionable intelligence it provides is one of its benefits, due to the processing capacity it has."
"The customizability of the tool is valuable. We are able to customize the use cases and create them easily without a large amount of Securonix assistance. It's very flexible. We do not have to rely on Professional Services to modify or create a new use case."
"The solution's AI features reduce the need for manual analysis and help in decision-making. It displays the report in seconds. It saves my resources three to four hours of work."
"The most valuable feature is that it works on user behavior and event rarities."
 

Cons

"Their customer support should be improved, and the effectiveness of scans also needs to be improved."
"I would like to see more integration."
"We'd like the agent to cover more compliance issues."
"A definite improvement would be to make it easier to run ad-hoc scans without needing to assign the asset to a site or group."
"The reporting could be better."
"All products have room for increased security and Rapid7 InsightVM is no exception."
"There was functionality present previously, however, currently, we can't integrate directly with Jira Service Desk - only the cloud version."
"We have some issues with how it scans patches."
"There is room for improvement in the product's integration with ServiceNow and in the reporting features."
"It could be improved a little bit more for admin users. There should be more administrative options related to security for admin users. For example, for forensic purposes, the admin should be able to stop a specific user from erasing some information. I would be helpful in certain situations, such as during an internal fraud."
"Sometimes, there is instability in the data in terms of the customization of the time. I have sometimes observed discrepancies in the data, which is something they should work on. They should bring more stability to time customization. If we are seeing a particular data, when we change the time zone, there should be the same data. There should not be any discrepancy."
"It seems to me that within Securonix there is no option for completely visualizing the types of sources or if there is any loss of logs. I've heard that they have an additional module to validate those types of cases, but in terms of the platform itself only, I can only see how often it sends data but not any specific detail."
"One aspect that could be improved is the pricing of the product in Brazil."
"When they did upgrades or applied patches, sometimes, there was downtime, which required the backfill of data. There were times when we had to reach out and get a lot of things validated."
"The pricing. I'm not sure how they are proceeding with the identity based pricing compared with DB pricing which most of the vendors are using today."
"A helpful feature would be an event export. A way to create more substantial summary reports would be nice."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."
"It is pretty expensive. It depends on what you consider pricey, however, if you only look at vulnerability management solutions, such as within VM or VMDR, there are, I suppose the prices are almost the same. But I believe you will discover that for yourself."
"Its pricing depends on the number of users per month."
"Our licensing costs are somewhere around $40,000 annually. There are no additional fees."
"The solution is a bit more reasonably priced than other products."
"The price of the solution is less than the competitors."
"The solution's pricing is better than Nexus which charges a high amount for very little use."
"The licensing is asset-based and very straightforward."
"The solution's price is double the competitors."
"I rate the pricing an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is very expensive. It is a pretty expensive tool."
"The pricing is fine compared to the market but I think that at some point the competitors will catch up on price."
"Compared to other known brands in the industry, the overall cost of the licenses is a bit higher than what customers expect."
"I had heard that it was much cheaper than Splunk and some of the other tools, and they gave us a nice package with support. They accommodated the number of users and support very well."
"Its price is fine. We found it to be cheaper than LogRhythm, Exabeam, Splunk, as well as Elastic Security. A few months ago, when we were comparing Securonix with Elastic Security, we found Securonix to be cheaper than Elasticsearch. We were pretty surprised that Elastic Security is more expensive than Securonix because Elasticsearch is just starting, and it cannot compete with Securonix at this time. So, the pricing of Securonix is pretty good for now."
"The pricing is good, but by adding more things, the licensing becomes more complex because an EPS license fluctuates a lot. This licensing concept is going to be problematic in the long run."
"Its pricing is quite similar to others and is very competitive. The other solutions have different types of licensing, but when you do the math, it is competitive."
