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.

Enhances remote access and integration with third-party tools
I use NinjaOne for managing smaller clients, specifically their devices and software, for small to medium businesses. I provide remote management services through NinjaOne. It allows clients to use NinjaOne for remote access to their computers for home office purposes. This feature is highly…

Have maintained accurate vulnerability scans and gained actionable remediation insights across thousands of servers
Tenable Vulnerability Management agents are very lightweight, and the results we get are very accurate. The solutions they provide to us, assuming if one vulnerability exists, there will be a solution. The resolution they give us in wording will be the best solution. The exploit rates and the reports we get provide a lot of information, making it very easy for us to verify.The main benefit of integration with Tenable Vulnerability Management is that there will be no lack of missing vulnerabilities when it comes to the patching environment. That is one of the key aspects of why we have integrated Tenable to our patching tools. It has a vast capacity of pushing the data to our tools due to its capability and compatibility. That is also one of the reasons why we are using Tenable Vulnerability Management.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Zafran has become an indispensable tool in our cybersecurity arsenal."
"We are able to see the real risk of a vulnerability on our environment with our security tools."
"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 is an excellent tool."
"We saw benefits from Zafran Security almost immediately after deploying it."
"The most valuable features of NinjaOne include remote desktop management, support and assistive tools, and screen sharing."
"The software's automation tools have solved critical deployment problems for small businesses."
"The installation is easy, it only took two minutes."
"The policies are probably the most valuable features. They're similar in function to Microsoft group policies where we can have it monitor certain things or push out software on a schedule. I would rate the policies eight out of 10. They're robust, I could monitor most of the things that Windows Performance Monitoring keeps tabs on."
"A significant feature of NinjaOne is its remote access capability, which is essential for my clients’ home office usage."
"The most valuable feature we have found currently is probably patch management."
"NinjaOne has a feature where we can create custom scripts that we can run on devices remotely."
"The best feature of NinjaOne is the SLA system. Every IT person can check their performance, how long it takes to resolve an issue, and how many SLAs are breached."
"It's a recommended tool for penetration testers because it's effective for that purpose."
"The integration of Tenable into our security ecosystem was very good."
"The solution is easy to use and configuration is smooth with no complexities."
"It is quite straightforward to set up."
"Technical support has been good. They respond quite quickly."
"It is very stable, and it is updated periodically by adding new vulnerabilities."
"The stability is commendable, and I would rate Tenable ten out of ten."
"The price of Tenable.io Vulnerability Management is reasonable as it is ten times cheaper than other options."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"The dashboarding and reporting functionality of Zafran Security is an area that definitely could use some improvements."
"The remote connectivity could be better. It works most of the time, but sometimes, there are issues."
"I would like to see more scripts for PowerShell commands."
"Improvements could be made to reduce NinjaOne's functionalities to focus more on inventory or remote help tools."
"The reporting is lackluster. NinjaOne is great for maintaining systems, but it's hard to use it to understand the state that systems are in without going in and mining the information myself. I rate the reporting two out of 10."
"The graphical user interface could be improved."
"The network monitoring needs to be improved."
"NinjaOne's pricing and user interface needs improvement."
"Lacks sufficient integrations with other PSAs."
"I'm not satisfied with the reporting structure."
"The only drawback of the solution is that it is expensive."
"I would like the solution to cover the whole cycle of mitigation since it's an area where the solution currently lacks."
"The solution must provide penetration testing."
"The product is a bit expensive."
"The user interface could be improved by being able to change the user interface to fit your position or your job. The graphs are set in stone and you can only print reports."
"It would be helpful if Tenable could be more clear with regard to everything the solution can and cannot do with the particular license that you have."
"They need to have more dependable and faster support."
