Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The tool's most valuable feature is workload protection for Kubernetes and container security. It has agents that identify bugs or lack of security on runtime containers."
"I find the security frameworks and security tools valuable. I think they're good in the infrastructure of the code security. They are also good at threat protection."
"The tool provides centralized visibility through dashboards and alerts, allowing customers to receive reports on cloud vulnerabilities and security posture. Rapid7 InsightCloudSec provides customers with a robust understanding of cloud security."
"It runs every hour and has been reliable since I started."
"ICSE is cheaper compared to other tools and has a pleasant user experience with good support."
"ICSE is cheaper compared to other tools and has a pleasant user experience with good support."
"Agentless scanning is a possible use with Rapid7 InsightCloudSec."
"The asset management tools are very valuable."
"It is a stable solution. I have not experienced any system outages during my time using the solution."
"Has service mapping, impact management, metric intelligence and health of analytics."
"The initial setup is very straightforward. A person just needs to join a team to access the network and that's all."
"I like the tool's CMBD connection with Discovery. The solution is also flexible."
"It is a market leader and is very implementation-friendly. Developers have a clear understanding of how the solution works, and it is mature enough to handle different client needs."
"ServiceNow IT Operations Management is a stable product."
"I am impressed with the tool's ability to track information in an easy way."
 

Cons

"The tool needs to improve its documentation."
"Technical support could be better. It could also be easier, more user-friendly, and intuitive. The API keys aren't easy to understand, and the cloud layouts aren't intuitive and user-friendly. We should be able to integrate IM governance and APIs into non-compliant workloads like legacy solutions."
"They didn't have any documentation on how to patch it."
"A couple of modules are missing when compared to other providers, specifically related to some IAM, and the login piece needs improvement."
"The login piece needs improvement."
"There are a lot of other solutions in the market, not only providing the features of a CSPM, but also CNAPP."
"Rapid7 InsightCloudSec could be better at showing dashboards for virtual firewalls and appliances. Compared to other solutions like Palo Alto, this area is not as good. So, they should work on improving this for virtual devices."
"There is room for improvement in service mapping within ServiceNow ITOM. When we have more time, we'll look to extend that and apply it to business-critical services like email."
"When it comes to improvements, I think that my colleagues and I often have issues finding the correct screen and the search box does not work as intended."
"There are some limitations with Discovery; some areas are not available in the installation. I would like the solution to be able to discover more devices. That will remove the need to have multiple tools."
"My managers would say that the price is too high. We wanted to also have the visibility version of it, but it's too expensive for us. Going for visibility would have doubled up the price."
"ServiceNow could be more prescriptive on how customers can leverage some of the benefits."
"There is a slower learning curve associated with the tool's scripting part. It is also not cheap."
"If you are new to using the solution, you will find the setup complex."
"The solution's licensing model is a bit complicated. It should be simple and easy for people to understand."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We're doing an annual subscription. There are additional expenses, but not within the confines of this platform."
"Companies generally buy this tool because the pricing is not that high."
"It is moderately expensive. The pricing itself and the licensing options are depending on the model and the customization."
"We obtained discovery licenses at about seven dollars Australian per unit, which we found to be reasonable and competitive."
"There are additional costs, you have to pay more for everything."
"The price of ServiceNow IT Operations Management is expensive."
"The solution is costly compared to the products offered by its competitors."
"My customers pay for the ServiceNow IT Operations Management license annually. I'd rate the pricing based on value. ServiceNow IT Operations Management is a premium product as it has better features than competitors."
"This solution offers good value but comes at a very high premium. Pricing could be reduced by 10 to 20%."
"While not entirely sure, I believe the solution costs at least a million dollars annually."
