Featured Reviews

Brent Hamlin - PeerSpot reviewer
Infrastructure Manager at a construction company with 501-1,000 employees
Continuous threat scanning has improved remediation time and strengthened executive reporting
The best features that The NodeZero Platform by Horizon3.ai offers include the automated scans, which are great to use; you set it, scope it, and let it go, which works really well. The executive reporting feature is impactful for me as a manager, providing a strong foundation to give quarterly and yearly reports to our executives and board to see the state of our infrastructure from a security standpoint. The level of detail and clarity in the executive reports from The NodeZero Platform by Horizon3.ai absolutely helps me communicate effectively with leadership. They are detailed enough for me to extract the necessary information tailored for the executives and to provide a broader perspective on our mitigation efforts or accepted risk stance and where additional controls exist. The NodeZero Platform by Horizon3.ai has positively impacted my organization by giving us a better continuous picture of our security posture, what's exploitable, and what can be used against the organization. It allows us to run scans whenever needed, unlike a single third-party system that only provides a snapshot in time; our processes must be ongoing as the security landscape is dynamic. NodeZero's endpoint security effectiveness feature impacts my understanding of potential security threats by providing a clear picture of both the external and internal landscapes within my organization, enabling me to prioritize and adjust as needed for vulnerabilities such as WordPress plugin issues or user enumerations and software code version assessments. I have built The NodeZero Platform by Horizon3.ai into our weekly and monthly workflows for security CI/CD, and we scan our externally accessible assets every week to address anything quickly if it comes up. That includes our firewalls, websites, and anything that is an external web server, which we scan weekly, while the monthly scans are for internal systems that feed our security CI/CD pipeline, enabling us to action across and prioritize any vulnerabilities caught by The NodeZero Platform by Horizon3.ai.

Experience with offsite backup enhances data integrity and reduces on-premise reliance
One of the features of Veritas Alta SaaS Protection that customers are looking for is immutability. This is the most important feature. With the cloud, Veritas Alta SaaS Protection is actually in the cloud, which means they have unlimited space to do their backups. They can expand on a need-to-need basis. The automated recovery feature of Veritas Alta SaaS Protection makes the recovery much easier, as opposed to earlier methods where we were using scripts to do the restore. Currently, it's automated so you just do a click. You select the feature in a graphical interface, making it easy to use even for a newbie.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I believe that The NodeZero Platform by Horizon3.ai has kept me safer in a cybersecurity sense."
"We chose The NodeZero Platform by Horizon3.ai because, first, of its superior technical capability for the use cases we were looking for, second, the cost, which we believe was much more affordable than the other products, and third, the customer and technical support was very good for us."
"Overall, I'd rate NodeZero at nine to 9.5 out of ten."
"If someone was looking into this product, I would absolutely recommend it."
"Honestly, it's one of the most transformational technologies we've implemented in our company."
"The NodeZero Platform by Horizon3.ai has positively impacted my organization by giving us a better continuous picture of our security posture, what's exploitable, and what can be used against the organization."
"The automated updating of scans has been a huge value-add for us; we're a small cybersecurity team, so speed to value is the biggest thing to multiply the force of our small team, saving a lot of man-hours."
"Right now, using it for networks is great, and you could really do a lot with their continuous testing, which I thought was a great feature."
"I would recommend this solution because it covers the total scope of Office 365."
"The automated recovery feature of Veritas Alta SaaS Protection makes the recovery much easier, as opposed to earlier methods where we were using scripts to do the restore."
"The solution's hardware appliance is very scalable and very useful."
"Veritas is loaded with features because the appliance is ready to integrate with the cloud in cases where the customers have a hybrid or cloud environment."
"What I like most about Veritas SaaS Backup is that it is easy to work on and has compatible features."
"I think the most important feature is the ability of SaaS Backup to cover all modules proposed by Office 365, because competing solutions don't cover the total scope."
"It's a good solution. It's pretty stable."
"The most valuable features are the ease of administration and the ease of configuration."
 

Cons

"The only issue we’ve encountered is that sometimes the scans take a long time to complete."
"The NodeZero Platform by Horizon3.ai could greatly improve their feature request and product suggestions process."
"You need to be cautious about what it scans, as it could potentially cause issues."
"However, my team struggles with the onboarding side of our engagement, which should have been more robust; having a statement of work and a clear definition of success would have been beneficial."
"When it comes to the stability of The NodeZero Platform by Horizon3.ai, I would rate it around seven to eight because the stability is not that high initially due to the need for daily updates and modifications as new vulnerabilities appear."
"The NodeZero Platform by Horizon3.ai could be improved by speeding up the time from initializing a test to actually starting the test, as the deployment of the underlying infrastructure can take several minutes, sometimes over 10 minutes."
"If we have had problems, that is with the actual licensing style they are using."
"The reports are quite useless."
"In the future, we would like to see support for virtualized machines."
"Technical support can be improved."
"The go-between is a Veritas partner, so the customer support was not that good. The solution is fine except when there is a purchasing crisis where you have to remake the ecosystem. It causes a lot of issues. The support was a problem, but we're okay with it as long as we have someone to communicate with."
"The backup reports and the dashboard need improvement."
"When you finish a project, the client should have the opportunity to browse the files rather than simply ending the contract. Also, it's not possible to recover earlier versions. It should be possible to have a database for recovering files after you finish a contract. There's no solution for this from Veritas."
"Licensing has been a struggle."
"An area for improvement is the product's performance, especially how long it takes to do a job."
"Licensing has been a struggle. It went from bronze, silver to gold. Licensing needs more sophistication. It has features that are sold as separate add-ons."

"The tool is expensive compared to Veeam."
