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.

Rapid deployment and user-friendly architecture streamline vulnerability management but customer support response needs improvement
We are still using Rapid7 InsightVM I personally still use Rapid7 InsightVM. We use Rapid7 InsightVM for vulnerability scanning. It supports both agent-based and agentless scanning, which is part of our vulnerability management strategy. The agentless scan in Rapid7 InsightVM is effective and…

Has improved the organization's PCI compliance with data loss prevention
I use the solution on a Macintosh computer and it has issues and does not work when I try to log in from the Safari Browser, but it works fine when I log in from the Google Chrome browser. The console has issues when the login is done through a Safari Browser. The console has to be more competitive and the compatibility of the browser needs to be better. I want to know about Skyhigh's competitiveness with other brands and about the vulnerability assessment and micro segmentations. I know Skyhigh has other products, but right now, I am studying what this new product is about. They only have English support, so I would like for them to add some Spanish support.

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 is an excellent tool."
"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."
"The solution is automatically scheduled so it runs by itself."
"The connectivity provided by Rapid7 InsightVM is valuable."
"It is a stable solution."
"This solution is very easy to use and easy to install."
"The most valuable features are its reporting capabilities and the host discovery functionality."
"I like Rapid7's scan optimization options."
"This solution's most useful feature is that it is entirely a single-page application."
"It is stable and scalable."
"The threat protection capabilities are very strong."
"Data loss prevention and user behavior analysis are two valuable features."
"The most valuable features of MVISION Cloud are the automatic reports and modification incidents."
"It is easy to configure rules."
"The initial setup is fairly straightforward and easy to perform."
"The management is very good."
"The risk rating of each cloud application has been very useful. Whenever we discover a new application is use, we are able to quickly determine if this application is safe to use and whether or not we should allow our end users to be able to access it."
"Good anti-virus filtering, URL categorization, and reporting capabilities."
 

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."
"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."
"Rapid7 could be easier to manage."
"There are end-user needs and expectations that are being overlooked in the development that could be addressed by appointing a customer advisory board."
"The InsightVM cannot scan if we connect to our customer by the VPN."
"We have some issues with how it scans patches."
"Customer support in Rapid7 InsightVM could be improved. The response time needs improvement."
"The platform could be more intuitive and user-friendly."
"I think the improvement in the tool should be to provide a better update to users because sometimes the information within the cloud and the scanner are not synchronized very fast."
"Some of our customers want to be completely cloud based, and Rapid7 doesn't offer this as an option."
"The solution has room for improvement in its DDoS protection."
"Skyhigh Security, as a product, is excellent, but in terms of the right services and support, those are lagging very much, for example, in Trellix. From one hundred, its score has gone down to ten, so ten out of one hundred, otherwise, it's the number one product."
"The virtual solution requires improvement."
"MVISION Cloud is not well known and there should be more information about the solution. There could be integration to local applications."
"McAfee Web Gateway could improve the reporting. We have the reporting on a separate server and sometimes the database becomes full. These aspects could improve."
"They could be integrated with CASB. I think normally McAfee has this solution in the cloud, but for us the best is on-premise."
"It needs to be more user-friendly, as it is a little bit complicated to use."
"It would be nice to be able to get more advanced search functions to filter out data and quickly obtain the data that we need."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"This solution is expensive, but it's fine for us as we have an open budget for security solutions. Protection and having the system secured is more important."
"Comparing the price with the value that we receive, I am not happy with it."
"Its pricing depends on the number of users per month."
"In some cases, we procure the licenses. In some cases, the customers directly buy the license from Rapid7."
"The solution's pricing is better than Nexus which charges a high amount for very little use."
"The tool's price is neither too high nor too low. My company needs to pay 65,000 per year. There are no additional costs apart from the licensing fees attached to the solution."
"Pricing is reasonable because we pay according to asset usage. We can define our assets and sites according to our preference."
"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."
"This is an expensive product, although it is made for larger enterprises and not for small organizations."
"The solution is quite expensive. As we take add-ons continuously as per our customer's requirements, there are additional charges."
"Skyhigh provided a FedRAMP solution, tokenization, a better shadow IT capability, and lower cost."
"There is a license required to use this solution and it is paid annually. The price is reasonable."
"The licensing fees are based on what environments you are monitoring."
"The price of the solution is good and we pay an annual license."
"Have a risk-based approach towards pricing."
"It's an expensive solution."
