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.
Arun Chauhan - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides a very good vulnerability monitoring system, but the implementation is challenging
We face many issues while implementing Armis in the pharma sector. Some of the customer applications are not supported well by the tool. The applications do not communicate well if we implement Armis. We generally face such issues during implementation. We are planning to implement the product in the wind energy sector, but we don't have any idea how to do it. Currently, it is a very big challenge for us. Products like Dragos, Claroty, and Nozomi provide a much better experience during implementation. If any issues arise, we are told how to resolve such issues during the POC. Armis does not provide the secure remote access feature Claroty provides.
Mahmoud Elhamaymy - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Pros

"Zafran is an excellent tool."
"Zafran has become an indispensable tool in our cybersecurity arsenal."
"Armis is a straightforward and user-friendly solution."
"Armis is very easy to implement due to its agentless design and offers a granular level of visibility for all assets in the network."
"The initial setup and deployment were simple."
"It determines which assets and devices are at risk, alerts you if there's a risk, and categorizes all assets, including personal computers, mobile phones, servers, televisions, cars, and video game consoles."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is asset tracking."
"The technology is good."
"The solution’s vulnerability monitoring system is very good."
"The tool is user-friendly and helps to detect vulnerabilities."
"The risk score that they provide makes it easier to find out the biggest risks. It helped the security officers to understand where the biggest risks are so that they can act on them. They can instruct their IT teams to give them a higher priority and mitigate them."
"InsightVM offers a robust platform for identifying, prioritizing, and addressing vulnerabilities across an organization's IT infrastructure."
"most valuable features of Rapid7 InsightVM for me are creating dynamic asset tags, generating reports, and deploying the agent. The agent scans assets every four hours, providing real-time data on any devices. Although there weren't any significant new features compared to our previous tool, having both SIEM and vulnerability management handled by one tool made things easier. We could gather logs from different devices and cloud sources, and perform detailed investigations without switching tools. I haven't worked with the automation capabilities of InsightVM. For remediation prioritization, we check the vulnerability, search for solutions on open platforms, and work with different teams to apply patches after proper testing. Currently, we don’t have any AI or ASM projects assisted by InsightVM"
"I like Rapid7's scan optimization options."
"The solution's user interface is good and has some vulnerability prioritization."
"The most valuable feature for us is the different types of reporting it provides."
"The ease of deployment and configuration allows users to onboard quickly."
"The most valuable feature is the site scanning, where we can provide a complete subnet and what it is we need to scan on those devices."
 

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."
"Armis doesn't have a back intel feature."
"Armis could improve its geographic spread and marketing campaigns across regions."
"There isn't anything specific that needs improvement."
"We have faced issues with the tool's stability."
"We face issues during implementation."
"Like any IT tool, continuous learning and improvement are essential for the solution."
"The solution's vulnerability testing could be improved."
"We face difficulties in integrating the product with ticketing tools like ServiceNow."
"There needs to be much clearer instructions surrounding scanning."
"All products have room for increased security and Rapid7 InsightVM is no exception."
"We'd like the agent to cover more compliance issues."
"This solution creates false-positives which can cause issues with reporting."
"I would say that it improved our visibility, but it left things open."
"They should improve the cybersecurity feature of the solution."
"There are end-user needs and expectations that are being overlooked in the development that could be addressed by appointing a customer advisory board."
"Reporting could be expanded."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The tool is cheap."
"It is less expensive compared to other competitors."
"The price of the solution is less than the competitors."
"I do not have experience with the pricing of the solution."
"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 licensing is yearly. Everything is included in the price for one year."
"The license is annual and this is the optimal approach when it comes to most software."
"Pricing is reasonable because we pay according to asset usage. We can define our assets and sites according to our preference."
"The product is cheaper than the other similar tools available in the market."
