Easy to use and great for both vulnerability scanning and remediation

What is our primary use case?

I'm helping customers manage vulnerabilities in their organization. It's for vulnerability scanning. 

What is most valuable?

It helps with the scanning of vulnerabilities. It's great at handling remediation after you've found an issue and managing the process of vulnerability remediation. The solution provides great advice.

The solution offers very good intelligence and tracking the process of remediation.

It goes very deep and doesn't just find the problem - it helps fix things too. 

The setup is easy.

The solution is easy to use.

It offers good scalability.

It's stable.

The pricing is reasonable. 

The solution can scale.

What needs improvement?

At times, some customers want more on-premises solutions, and yet vendors want us to load features onto the cloud. While it works in a hybrid way, they need to ensure they keep a customer's needs in mind.

There should be containerization within the VM.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using the solution for two years. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It is stable and reliable. I haven't had issues with it. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution offers very good scalability. One license allows you to have three consoles. It's good for a distributed environment. 

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I didn't use different solutions previously.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is quite easy. It's easy to use. You can deploy it in less than one hour. Everything happens very fast. It just depends on how long you want to test before implementation. The tuning, however, is a bigger process. 

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The solution isn't too expensive. The company offers good bundles. The pricing is simple and based on assets. It's transparent. 

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

I did evaluate other solutions before using this solution. I looked online. 

What other advice do I have?

I'm a partner, not a customer.

I've been using the solution's latest version and updating it often. 

I'd advise people to use the product as a vulnerability scanner and as a remediation tool. They should look at the whole brand and see if any of their other products can integrate with the scanner. 

I would rate the solution nine out of ten.
