Works at a healthcare company with 10,001+ employees

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.

Technical Architect at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees

Streamlines prioritization but reporting needs enhancement

There are several areas needing improvement. The product helps, but the reporting relies heavily on Power BI. It is limited to graphical views and requires additional filtering, posing operational challenges. The inability to download specific asset details directly from the Power BI portal is a drawback, particularly for non-technical users, though it provides high-level executive summaries. The reporting model should be enhanced so that we have the flexibility to download. We have requested a few features, and they are open to accepting those requests. It needs ITSM improvements. It has out-of-the-box integration with ServiceNow, but the customer is using BMC Helix ITSM. We would like an integration with BMC Helix ITSM. When uploading CSV files without an out-of-the-box connector, duplicate entries for assets occur. We have already reported this to them, but we are not sure when they will fix it. It will significantly benefit if we can directly upload business context information from CMDB without manual merging efforts. It can also have automatic remediation capabilities through SCCM or something else.

Senior Program Manager, Security at Eventbrite

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

"Zafran has become an indispensable tool in our cybersecurity arsenal."

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

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

"Zafran is an excellent tool."

"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."

"Overall, we have seen about eighty-seven percent reduction of the number of vulnerabilities that require urgency to remediate, specifically the number of criticals."

"Vulcan Cyber has helped reduce our organization’s mean time to remediation."

"Vulcan Cyber helps us prioritize the vulnerabilities that are really exploitable and our point of interest for the industry based on the threat intelligence that we get."

"Vulcan Cyber offers a single pane of glass for centralizing our security data."

"Vulcan Cyber is a very good tool."

"I find the ability to consolidate information from multiple vulnerability scanners into a single source valuable."

"Out of the three solutions I've used, Vulcan Cyber is the superior option."

"It is very good when it comes to ingesting information from different sources and then displaying this information in an easy-to-use platform."

"The interface of Vulcan Cyber is intuitive with a lot of information about vulnerabilities, which helps in classifying and analyzing threats."

More Vulcan Cyber pros

"Wiz stands out for its strengths, particularly in agentless scanning and graph-based risk prioritization, in addition to its comprehensive CNAPP capabilities and multi-cloud coverage."

"Wiz is a very powerful product technologically."

"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 granularity of visibility that the platform provides is the most valuable aspect."

"The best features of Wiz are its security capabilities, providing the best security for pharmaceutical products and industries, along with the required dashboard containing customer details and inventory management features."

"The automation roles are essential because we ultimately want to do less work and automate more. The dashboards are easy to read and visually pleasing. You can understand things quickly, which makes it easy for our other teams. The network and infrastructure teams don't know as much about security as we do, so it helps to have a tool that's accessible and nice to look at."

"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 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."

More Wiz pros

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 are several areas needing improvement. The product helps, but the reporting relies heavily on Power BI. It is limited to graphical views and requires additional filtering, posing operational challenges."

"The performance is bad. The query and the UI are always slow, and it's quite frustrating. Vulcan is trying to solve this with a newer design. The dashboard is also crowded. It pulls in all this raw information that you need to filter. Vulcan has filtering capabilities, but they're hard to manage. The labels aren't very clear, so you need to do things by trial and error. It's not as easy as other tools we've been using."

"The fact that we cannot use it for our reporting leads me to rate it three out of ten."

"We've faced situations where we required support on a Friday, and support wasn't available."

"Mainly, what I would like from them is more maintenance of the different connectors they have in the platform."

"An important area is performance and speed, as Vulcan Cyber often lacks speed when exporting reports."

"Their support is good, but there are some flaws as well."

"If there was a way for me to connect to the vendor directly from the application, it would be helpful."

More Vulcan Cyber cons

"They could improve the product's visibility in the internal network topology."

"There is room for improvement in Wiz, particularly in operator management, as general operators may lack the necessary knowledge, requiring an easier-to-understand tool."

"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."

"The reporting isn't that great. They have executive summaries, but it's only a compliance report that maps all current issues to specific controls. Whether you look at one subscription or project, regardless of the size, you will get a multipage report on how the issues in that account map to that control. Our CSO isn't going to read through that. He won't filter that out or show that to his leadership and say, "Here's what we're doing." It isn't a helpful report. They're working on it, but it's a poor executive summary."

"The only small pain point has been around some of the logging integrations. Some of the complexities of the script integrations aren't supported with some of the more automated infrastructure components. So, it's not as universal. For example, they have great support for cloud formation and other services, but if you're using another type of management utility or governance language for your infrastructure-as-code automation components, it becomes a little bit trickier to navigate that."

"The APIs are currently quite limited and not very mature, which makes integration with Splunk difficult."

"We wish there were a way, beyond providing visibility and automated remediation, to wait on a given remediation, due to a critical aspect, such as the cost associated with a particular upgrade... We would like to see preventive controls that can be applied through Wiz to protect against vulnerabilities that we're not going to be able to remediate immediately."

"An area that Wiz can still continue to improve is FinOps."

More Wiz cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"Its pricing is quite fair compared to what is out there in the market, especially compared to the tool from Microsoft. It is a SaaS platform that has an annual cost, so it is something that is already used by many companies. It is quite affordable."

"Our leadership knows better about the pricing. As per my knowledge, which might not be accurate, its price can come down."

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

"The pricing seems pretty simple. We don't have to do a lot of calculations to figure out what the components are. They do it by enabling specific features, either basics or advanced, which makes it easy to select."

"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."

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

"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."

"Based on the features and capabilities, the product pricing seems reasonable."

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