Comprehensive risk analysis helps identify key performance trends but report access needs improvement
My first feedback for Apiiro is that it is very slow, extremely slow. The moment I select from the entire list of repositories in my vertical, which is almost more than 400 repositories, it takes a lot of time for me to load the report. Sometimes it fails. I do not have Role-Based Access Control (RBAC). It's only given to the application security team, and Apiiro as a vendor does not have the rollback access control enabled for the clients, so that would have given me access to the reports tab, which would have made my life easier. Currently, I have to go to the risks tab to pull out all this information. I started exploring dashboards with Copilot. I need to reach out to the Apiiro teams to see if I can get an access token so that I can pull out a Power BI dashboard. I think Apiiro definitely has its own capabilities, but if there are access tokens that teams can use to build a custom dashboard, that would be great. This might already exist, but that is something which will ease the vulnerability management day-to-day activities.

Cyber Security Engineer Ii (Vulnerability & Threat Management) at FICO
Risk-based workflows have transformed how our teams prioritize and track critical vulnerabilities
One important area for improvement could be reporting flexibility and dashboard customization, as this would need to align with specific organizational requirements. I believe it could be better. Additionally, UI simplification and more customization around workflows and reporting would further enhance the analyst experience. Improvements in executive reporting, more customizable dashboards, and deeper workflow flexibility would enhance operational usability further. Vulcan Cyber handles scalability well in our organization. It maintains stability for visibility and remediation tracking, avoiding the need for additional storage, as it is cloud-based. It scales well in our environment, even as vulnerability data and assets grow significantly.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The positive impact I have seen from working with Apiiro for my company includes the metrics that we get from Apiiro, which have been extremely helpful."
"Apiiro's secrets detection feature has saved us several times, which we appreciate greatly."
"The workflow automation is likely the best aspect of the solution."
"Vulcan Cyber has had the biggest positive impact on my organization through the improvement in prioritization and remediation efficiency."
"It has allowed us to bring together multiple sources of information from different signal sources into a single point."
"I was part of the initial deployment. It was pretty easy. To fully deploy, it took about three or four weeks."
"They recently upgraded their UI, which is great. It is user-friendly."
"The automation capabilities using the Vulcan API platform or the API feature allow me to easily automate scripts and reports and schedule them."
"Vulcan Cyber offers a single pane of glass for centralizing our security data."
"One of the features that I find valuable is the ability to bifurcate the report according to the many options available."
"Vulcan Cyber helps us prioritize the vulnerabilities that are really exploitable and our point of interest for the industry based on the threat intelligence that we get."
 

Cons

"My first feedback for Apiiro is that it is very slow, extremely slow."
"User management is a little bit clunky."
"I would like support for our self-hosted Git server, other than GitHub, just regular Git."
"I would describe Vulcan Cyber's user interface as adequate, but there are gaps that need addressing."
"We have the highest privilege in the application, and at least for members with the highest privilege, having the capability to reach out to the vendor directly from the application would be beneficial."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Monitoring of the evolution of campaigns and perhaps having more customized options for monitoring them would be great."
"I would rate the tool between six and seven because there have been instances when the tool was down, and I couldn't access Cyber reports. Additionally, the Vulcan Cyber team made changes to the tool and did not notify us."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Our leadership knows better about the pricing. As per my knowledge, which might not be accurate, its price can come down."
"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."
