Featured Reviews

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.

Comprehensive asset visibility and OT operations support enhance risk mitigation
I use Armis for asset discovery and vulnerability assessments of the OT network Armis is easy to use. Very few software solutions have OT capabilities that do not impact OT operations. Its asset visibility is good as well. This comprehensive feature set is crucial for our operations.…

Reliable scanning and integration strengthen security infrastructure
InsightVM has a very organized GUI with ease of use. The vulnerability scans are reliable, and the credential scan is a beneficial feature. The solution is efficient and trustworthy. It's based on the CVSS risk scoring system, which is well-recognized and effective. The integration capabilities through APIs allow easy integration with existing security infrastructure.

"Armis is a straightforward and user-friendly solution."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is asset tracking."
"The solution’s vulnerability monitoring system is very good."
"Armis is very easy to implement due to its agentless design and offers a granular level of visibility for all assets in the network."
"I rate InsightVM eight out of 10 for ease of setup. It takes two or three engineers to deploy. The solution requires some maintenance. It's mainly cleaning up data."
"I have been in contact with technical support and they are not bad."
"InsightVM's best features are the vulnerability database and remediation steps."

Cons

"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."
"We have faced issues with the tool's stability."
"The solution's vulnerability testing could be improved."
"We face issues during implementation."
"Like any IT tool, continuous learning and improvement are essential for the solution."
"There isn't anything specific that needs improvement."
"There are occasional issues with some built-in integrations that require troubleshooting, particularly with DHCP integration. Developing additional integrations would be beneficial."
"Armis could improve its geographic spread and marketing campaigns across regions."
"Armis doesn't have a back intel feature."
"All products have room for increased security and Rapid7 InsightVM is no exception."
"The solution should include a tighter integration with third-party threat modeling and threat intelligence tools."
"We found that after you passed an endpoint, it didn't always reflect it in the next scan. I'm not sure if it was a glitch or some issue with the product's software. That was never clear. That was always an issue and something that definitely needed improvement."
"Some of our customers want to be completely cloud based, and Rapid7 doesn't offer this as an option."
"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."
"They should integrate the solution with multiple products."
"The InsightVM cannot scan if we connect to our customer by the VPN."
"This solution creates false-positives which can cause issues with reporting."
