Has become an indispensable tool in our cybersecurity arsenal
While Zafran Security is already a powerful tool, there are areas where it could be further improved to provide even greater value. One key area for enhancement is the searching capabilities within its vulnerabilities module. By incorporating the ability to create Boolean searches, users would gain the ability to apply more complex filters and customize their search criteria. This would greatly enhance the precision and efficiency with which security teams can identify and prioritize vulnerabilities. Having such tailored search capabilities would save time and resources by narrowing down vast lists of vulnerabilities to those that meet specific parameters relevant to our unique risk environment. Additionally, integrating more robust reporting and visualization tools would be advantageous. Enhanced dashboards that offer customizable visual representations of risk configurations and threat landscapes would facilitate better communication with stakeholders, making it easier to explain vulnerabilities and the rationale behind certain security measures. This would also aid in demonstrating the improvements and value derived from existing security investments to leadership and non-technical team members.

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.…

Streamlines prioritization but reporting needs enhancement
There are several areas needing improvement. The product helps, but the reporting relies heavily on Power BI. It is limited to graphical views and requires additional filtering, posing operational challenges. The inability to download specific asset details directly from the Power BI portal is a drawback, particularly for non-technical users, though it provides high-level executive summaries. The reporting model should be enhanced so that we have the flexibility to download. We have requested a few features, and they are open to accepting those requests. It needs ITSM improvements. It has out-of-the-box integration with ServiceNow, but the customer is using BMC Helix ITSM. We would like an integration with BMC Helix ITSM. When uploading CSV files without an out-of-the-box connector, duplicate entries for assets occur. We have already reported this to them, but we are not sure when they will fix it. It will significantly benefit if we can directly upload business context information from CMDB without manual merging efforts. It can also have automatic remediation capabilities through SCCM or something else.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We saw benefits from Zafran Security almost immediately after deploying it."
"Overall, we have seen about eighty-seven percent reduction of the number of vulnerabilities that require urgency to remediate, specifically the number of criticals."
"Zafran has become an indispensable tool in our cybersecurity arsenal."
"With Zafran Security, it integrates with your security controls, allowing you to take that risk score and reduce it based on the controls in place or increase the risk based on different factors, such as if the issue is internet reachable or if there's an exploit in the wild."
"We are able to see the real risk of a vulnerability on our environment with our security tools."
"Zafran is an excellent tool."
"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 initial setup and deployment were simple."
"The technology is 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."
"The tool is user-friendly and helps to detect vulnerabilities."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is asset tracking."
"Armis saves time by automating asset inventory management, allowing enterprises to quickly strategize by understanding their assets and exposures."
"The solution’s vulnerability monitoring system is very good."
"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."
"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."
"Vulcan Cyber is a very good tool."
"There is a lot of flexibility in exporting, making it a really good feature. The exporting flexibility based on application type is commendable and provides significant value."
"One of the features that I find valuable is the ability to bifurcate the report according to the many options available."
"It has allowed us to bring together multiple sources of information from different signal sources into a single point."
"Vulcan Cyber offers a single pane of glass for centralizing our security data."
 

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."
"I think the ability to have some enhanced reporting capabilities is something they can improve on, as they have good reports but we have asked for some specific reporting enhancements."
"The dashboarding and reporting functionality of Zafran Security is an area that definitely could use some improvements."
"Like any IT tool, continuous learning and improvement are essential for the solution."
"Armis could improve its geographic spread and marketing campaigns across regions."
"The solution's vulnerability testing could be improved."
"We have faced issues with the tool's stability."
"There isn't anything specific that needs improvement."
"Armis doesn't have a back intel feature."
"We face issues during implementation."
"We face difficulties in integrating the product with ticketing tools like ServiceNow."
"An important area is performance and speed, as Vulcan Cyber often lacks speed when exporting reports."
"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."
"Their support is good, but there are some flaws as well."
"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."
"Mainly, what I would like from them is more maintenance of the different connectors they have in the platform."
"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."
"If there was a way for me to connect to the vendor directly from the application, it would be helpful."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The tool is cheap."
"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."
