Shreevinayak Deshpande - PeerSpot reviewer
Makes vulnerability management efficient with a single pane of glass and daily report generation
There are areas for improvement. Initially, when onboarding Vulcan Cyber, the setup and configuration was more complex than expected with a user-friendly approach. This aspect can be enhanced. An important area is performance and speed, as Vulcan Cyber often lacks speed when exporting reports. The team might have to work on scaling up servers. When we click on a vulnerability, it takes ten seconds to pop up a window and show the entire content. Instead of that, they can put a down arrow, and all the details should be shown on clicking the arrow. This will prevent that ten-second delay. Another area for improvement is providing support and documentation for their tool. Users should have access to easy-to-understand trial documentation for reference.
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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Vulcan Cyber gives the remediation team the focus points."
"Out of the three solutions I've used, Vulcan Cyber is the superior option."
"They recently upgraded their UI, which is great. It is user-friendly."
"Now that the solution is onboarded, we are saving a lot of time. We're saving roughly four to ten hours a week."
"The interface of Vulcan Cyber is intuitive with a lot of information about vulnerabilities, which helps in classifying and analyzing threats."
"I find the ability to consolidate information from multiple vulnerability scanners into a single source valuable."
"It is very good when it comes to ingesting information from different sources and then displaying this information in an easy-to-use platform."
"I was part of the initial deployment. It was pretty easy. To fully deploy, it took about three or four weeks."
"Zafran is an excellent tool."
"Zafran has become an indispensable tool in our cybersecurity arsenal."
 

Cons

"The performance is bad. The query and the UI are always slow, and it's quite frustrating. Vulcan is trying to solve this with a newer design. The dashboard is also crowded. It pulls in all this raw information that you need to filter. Vulcan has filtering capabilities, but they're hard to manage. The labels aren't very clear, so you need to do things by trial and error. It's not as easy as other tools we've been using."
"If there was a way for me to connect to the vendor directly from the application, it would be helpful."
"Initially, when onboarding Vulcan Cyber, the setup and configuration was more complex than expected with a user-friendly approach. This aspect can be enhanced."
"The fact that we cannot use it for our reporting leads me to rate it three out of ten."
"The product helps, but the reporting relies heavily on Power BI. It is limited to graphical views and requires additional filtering, posing operational challenges."
"It was a rough year in terms of setup. I had to set it up and onboard it. It was a significant effort from my side at least."
"Their support is good, but there are some flaws as well. We often encounter some issues that are not applicable to Vulcan Cyber as a whole; they apply only to us because we have customized requirements. In such cases, when we reach out with specific data and issues to their support team, they sometimes come back and say that the issues have been resolved. However, when we test to see if they have been remediated, they are still there."
"We've faced situations where we required support on a Friday, and support wasn't available."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its pricing is quite fair compared to what is out there in the market, especially compared to the tool from Microsoft. It is a SaaS platform that has an annual cost, so it is something that is already used by many companies. It is quite affordable."
"Our leadership knows better about the pricing. As per my knowledge, which might not be accurate, its price can come down."
