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.

Improves security posture by actively reducing critical vulnerabilities and guiding remediation

Snyk's main features include open-source vulnerability scanning, code security, container security, infrastructure as code security, risk-based prioritization, development-first integration, continuous monitoring and alerting, automation, and remediation. The best features I appreciate are the vulnerability checking, vulnerability scanning, and code security capabilities, as Snyk scans all open-source dependencies for known vulnerabilities and helps with license compliance for open-source components. Snyk integrates into IDEs, allowing issues to be caught as they appear in the code dynamically and prioritizes risk while providing remediation advice. Snyk provides actionable remediation advice on where vulnerabilities can exist and where code security is compromised, automatically scanning everything and providing timely alerts. Snyk has positively impacted my organization by improving the security posture across all software repositories, resulting in fewer critical vulnerabilities, more confidence in overall product security, and faster security compliance for project clients. Snyk has helped reduce vulnerabilities significantly. Initially, the repository had 17 to 31 critical and high vulnerabilities, but Snyk has helped manage them down to just five vulnerabilities, which are now lower and not high or critical.

Unified cloud visibility has transformed our risk prioritization and reduced alert fatigue while improving collaboration across security and DevSecOps teams

The standout features of Wiz that make it valuable for me include good multi-cloud environment support, data governance, shadow IT detection, DevSecOps governance, automation, level reporting, threat detection, and good infrastructure detection. Wiz has positively impacted my organization by implementing zero trust authorization, providing good reporting that shows the top attack path, critical assets, overall risk posture, and demonstrating AI and ML workload capabilities towards my team, as well as good infrastructure detection and vulnerability detection accuracy with security posture management at massive scale and identity exposure. There is a massive reduction in risk exposure, immediate visibility across the entire cloud estate, reduced noise and better prioritization, stronger DevSecOps collaboration, continuous compliance instead of ad hoc panic, faster incident response with real context, significant cost savings through tool consolidation, and stronger AI and data governance.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 are able to see the real risk of a vulnerability on our environment with our security tools."

"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."

"Zafran is an excellent tool."

"We saw benefits from Zafran Security almost immediately after deploying it."

"Snyk is a developer-friendly product."

"Snyk categorizes the level of vulnerability into high, medium, and low, which helps organizations prioritize which issues to tackle first."

"The code scans on the source code itself were valuable."

"I am impressed with the product's security vulnerability detection. My peers in security are praising the tool for its accuracy to detect security vulnerabilities. The product is very easy to onboard. It doesn't require a lot of preparation or prerequisites. It's a bit of a plug-and-play as long as you're using a package manager or for example, you are using a GitHub repository. And that is an advantage for this tool because developers don't want to add more tools to what they're currently using."

"The valuable aspect is its security capabilities."

"Our customers find container scans most valuable. They are always talking about it."

"The customization is excellent."

"The most valuable feature of Snyk is the SBOM."

More Snyk pros

"If anyone wants to secure their infrastructure, cloud environment, or Kubernetes cluster, I would strongly recommend Wiz as a tool because it is easy to use and user-friendly."

"The CSPM module has been the most effective. It was easy to deploy and covered all our accounts through APIs, requiring no agents. Wiz provides instant visibility into high-level risks that we need to address."

"Our most important features are those around entitlement, external exposure, vulnerabilities, and container security."

"What I appreciate most about Wiz is that the compliance and CSPM aspects of this cloud-native application protection offering are genuinely better than other products available in the market."

"A valuable feature is that Wiz helps in identifying vulnerabilities."

"Out of all the features, the one item that has been most valuable is the fact that Wiz puts into context all the pieces that create an issue, and applies a particular risk evaluation that helps us prioritize when we need to address a misconfiguration, vulnerability, or any issue that would put our environment into risk."

"The solution is very user-friendly."

"I rate Wiz's customer service as ten out of ten."

More Wiz pros

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."

"The dashboarding and reporting functionality of Zafran Security is an area that definitely could use some improvements."

"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."

"It would be ideal if there was customization with a focus on specific cybersecurity areas or capabilities."

"Basically the licensing costs are a little bit expensive."

"We had some issues integrating into our pipeline, however, they were resolved."

"Scalability has some issues because we have a lot of code and its use is mandatory. Therefore, it can be slow at times, especially because there are a lot of projects and reporting. Some UI improvements could help with this."

"We would like to have upfront knowledge on how easy it should be to just pull in an upgraded dependency, e.g., even introduce full automation for dependencies supposed to have no impact on the business side of things. Therefore, we would like some output when you get the report with the dependencies. We want to get additional information on the expected impact of the business code that is using the dependency with the newer version. This probably won't be easy to add, but it would be helpful."

"The documentation sometimes is not relevant. It does not cover the latest updates, scanning, and configurations. The documentation for some things is wrong and does not cover some configuration scannings for the multiple project settings."

"The solution's integration with JFrog Artifactory could be improved."

"The log export function could be easier when shipping logs to other platforms such as Splunk."

More Snyk cons

"There is also alert noise in larger environments that generates duplicate alerts for the same issues under different categories."

"The remediation workflow within the Wiz could be improved."

"We would like to see improvements to executive-level reporting and data reporting in general, which we understand is being rolled out to the platform."

"We're looking at some of the data compliance stuff that they've got Jon offer. I know they're looking at container security, which we gonna be looking at next."

"The reporting should be improved because until a few months ago, the reports were only in CSV format, which made it difficult to clean up. Wiz tried to improve the reporting process, but it's not as valuable as Tenable."

"In Wiz, if there is one vulnerability that occurs multiple times, it is listed only once. However, even if it is a single vulnerability in the same category, it repeats multiple times. This feature can be time-consuming as it requires continuous scrolling."

"One significant issue is that the searches are case-sensitive, so finding a misconfigured resource can become very challenging."

"One significant area for improvement would be increasing automation. While they excel at identifying issues, we need assistance in minimizing the human hours required for tasks."

More Wiz cons

The solution is very tailored towards developers and its licensing model works well for us."

"The product has good pricing."

"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing a three. It is a cheap solution."

More Snyk pricing and cost advice

"Wiz is a moderately priced solution, where it is neither cheap nor costly."

"I wish the pricing was more transparent."

"The pricing is fair and comparable to their competitors. The cost seems to be going up, which is a concern. There are potential savings from consolidating tools, but we're uncertain how Wiz's pricing will change over time."

"If one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the tool's price as a five out of ten."

"The cost of the other solutions is comparable to Wiz."

"Regarding pricing, it’s more than $100k because we have a very big infrastructure. Our environment supports around three thousand people, and we offer business-to-client financial services to around one million clients, so we rely heavily on Wiz."

"The pricing is fair. Some of the more advanced features and functionalities and how the tiers are split can be somewhat confusing."
