Gabriel Woolverton - PeerSpot reviewer
Wide range of coverage and free
A useful improvement would be to have white papers for specific vulnerabilities readily available. It seems like they are not always linked when you are looking for a vulnerability identifier in the database. It would be useful to ensure that that information is readily available. That way, if you need to dive deeper into a vulnerability, you would have the capability to do so basically right there on the website.

Penetration testing adapts to our schedule with cloud integration
The NodeZero Platform ( /products/the-nodezero-platform-reviews ) has a great cost, and its usability is straightforward. It can be deployed in the cloud. There is an on-premise container that I need to spin up to allow it to run in my environment, but it is automatically updated because it is cloud-based. It uses AI to try and gain access to my network and learns from the environment as it goes, providing a report on vulnerabilities, and demonstrates how their system exploits them to either elevate privilege or gain access to specific credentials or devices.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The initial setup is very straightforward. This is not a tool that you have to set up yourself. All you have to do is just access their web-based vulnerability database application, which is open source and available to pretty much anyone."
"Overall, I'd rate NodeZero at nine to 9.5 out of ten."
"Penetration testing and scans are useful features."
 

Cons

"A useful improvement would be to have white papers for specific vulnerabilities readily available. It seems like they are not always linked when you are looking for a vulnerability identifier in the database."
"The reports are quite useless."

Penetration testing and scans are useful features.
What needs improvement with Horizon3.ai?
I haven't really come across anything that I say needs to be improved with it, other than the container runner, which tends to lose time. It does not always sync with the cloud versions, so I have ...
What is your primary use case for Horizon3.ai?
To meet standards, I am required to do penetration testing periodically. This is something I can do on-demand anytime I choose, or I can set it up to recur on a recurring schedule.
