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.
Ankesh Raj - PeerSpot reviewer
Real-time responses and reporting streamline vulnerability management
Qualys VMDR provides a real-time response and reporting feature, which is excellent. It allows us to see real-time graphs and reports for every asset, server, and more, which is very user-friendly. Our clients have given good feedback, and they are satisfied with the tool. We use it daily to fix vulnerabilities by connecting with infrastructure to remediate. The feedback from the client side is very good.
Roftiel Constantine - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides proactive threat remediation, reduces alert volume, and enhances incident response capabilities
During our pre-purchase evaluation of SentinelOne's EDR capabilities three years ago, we were consistently impressed by the positive relationships customers reported having with SentinelOne's engineers, sales teams, and customer success managers. These strong relationships, evident in the customers' unsolicited feedback, highlighted the "soft skills" and intangible qualities that SentinelOne possessed. This positive customer experience has been mirrored in our own interactions with them. Their responsiveness to our needs, particularly when addressing a couple of challenges we faced, has been excellent. They proactively scheduled weekly meetings to demonstrate their commitment to resolving our issues, a customer-centric approach I admire. SentinelOne's dedication to customer service, including their rapid technology updates and responsiveness to our suggestions, has been crucial to our success in protecting our organization. Their ability to quickly incorporate our needs into new releases is truly impressive and sets them apart. Overall, I highly recommend SentinelOne based on our positive interactions across all levels of their organization.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 has become an indispensable tool in our cybersecurity arsenal."
"We saw benefits from Zafran Security almost immediately after deploying it."
"Zafran is an excellent tool."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the external channel."
"The most valuable features of Qualys VMDR include patch management and the use of virtual scanners to scan appliances and devices, especially those provided by vendors where we cannot manage them ourselves."
"I find the solution's dashboard interesting...The response time is fine. You can pull up reports without dragging or consuming bandwidth."
"Provides great functionality."
"The platform's most valuable features include its robust vulnerability detection capabilities and automated remediation workflows."
"Vulnerability management is the most valuable one and it’s a must in every organization."
"It's also highly customizable, allowing us to tailor it to our needs."
"I like the automated report generation and vulnerability report generation."
"All the features within the XDR are valuable as a whole for our organization."
"The effectiveness of their AI and behavioral analysis helps mitigate zero-day activities and detect new threats."
"One of the top things we're interested in is cloud protection."
"They have different levels of support. We have the highest level where they are constantly checking all the endpoints. If at any certain point, they identify that a computer has been triggered by a virus, a link, or something else, they would automatically tell us that within 15 seconds. If they notice something, they automatically send us an email saying that they noticed something in the computer, and they are going to block it."
"The incident and threat logs are great."
"Behind the scenes, SentinelOne has real people who evaluate problems and mark them as false positives. That's what I find most helpful."
"The protection provided by SentinelOne Singularity Identity is the most valuable feature."
"SentinelOne stands out due to its AI capabilities, which lead to excellent prevention."
 

Cons

"The dashboarding and reporting functionality of Zafran Security is an area that definitely could use some improvements."
"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."
"There were some issues later with Qualys VMDR regarding security, specifically with numerous false positive reports."
"It is a struggle to be able to pull our report and to be able to do onboarding using automated tools."
"This solution could be improved by extending the agent capabilities to different operating systems including Mac and Linux. We would also like the capability to easily check for vulnerability in assets in the IOTs."
"When you want to cover yourself for scalability, you will be charged for the number you place on the scan itself."
"The response time of technical support takes a while."
"Qualys VM's vulnerability scan could be improved, especially the number of CVE numbers it can manage at a time."
"Integration could be better. When you think about scanning, it's not used just with this product alone but with other Qualys products. If you think about the bundle, the product itself is good. But integration with other products and packages has space for improvement. They should also offer a better price for bundles."
"Qualys currently does not have any features for scanning SCADA, IoT, and Industrial Control Systems."
"To enhance our already strong partnership with SentinelOne, we should focus on improving collaboration."
"Agent connectivity can be improved, as it is one aspect of the product with certain shortcomings."
"Support could be faster. They need a faster response time."
"The primary reason for this discontent is that we frequently encounter performance issues with our servers."
"To improve SentinelOne, I would suggest adding a network detection and response capability."
"SentinelOne Singularity Identity could be more user-friendly."
"One area for improvement would be the self-healing nature of the agent."
"The root cause of automation could be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"It is more expensive than other products on the market."
"The solution is expensive."
"The pricing is very competitive."
"There is a license for the use of this solution. We pay annually instead of monthly to receive a better discount on the price."
"Qualys VM is reasonably priced."
"Qualys is a pay-as-you-go model, so there's flexibility to the pricing."
"Qualys VM is quite expensive. It's a subscription-based license, and it's yearly. Right now, it's open for me, and I don't have any limitations or caps on the licenses. They are seeing if the product is viable for 4500 users. I can add as much as I want, and at the end of the subscription, they'll let me know how many licenses were actually used and bill me accordingly. On a scale from one to five, I would give their pricing a three. It's still expensive."
"Qualys is cheaper and more affordable than other solutions."
"The cost of SentinelOne Singularity Identity is better than CrowdStrike."
"SentinelOne Singularity Identity's pricing is cheaper than CrowdStrike and is really good."
"Compared to competitors, it's well-priced for the quality offered, and I don't see anyone surpassing them in that regard."
"SentinelOne seemed to offer more while being priced lower than its competitors."
"There is a need to make yearly payments towards the licensing charges associated with the product...I think the prices associated with the product are okay and it is not too expensive."
"Its price is a little bit high. It is a nice product, but it comes at a cost. Compared to other products, it is not cheap, but you sometimes have to pay for the value you get. It is not cheap, but it is worth it."
"The price of SentinelOne Singularity Identity is relatively high, but it offers numerous features and capabilities that make it well worth the investment."
"Their pricing has been fair, especially in the current market, and they haven't excessively increased prices at renewal times like many vendors do."
