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.

For us, The NodeZero Platform is literally the single best security solution we have because the way that it works is we're able to scan every part of our network, both internally and externally, and then get completely actionable feedback that doesn't matter if it's for an application developer or a network admin.

We experienced a threat that could have severely crippled us, but we were able to shut it down before it escalated, thanks to internal vulnerability testing and addressing critical vulnerabilities using their tool.

The NodeZero Platform by Horizon3.ai has allowed us to quickly and easily identify the exploits in our environment that are greatly increasing our risk, simplified that process and also our remediation process, allowing us to more easily work with teams to show how it is exploitable and what they need to do to fix those issues, significantly improving our finding discovery and remediation process of vulnerabilities and overall decreasing our risk.

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.

I think customizability is one area of The NodeZero Platform by Horizon3.ai that could be improved or enhanced.

The setting up of new runners in The NodeZero Platform by Horizon3.ai could be simplified a little bit; currently, it's kind of a three-step process where you have to set up the assets in a separate menu, then a separate menu to set up a template, and then you actually set up the runner, so it would be nice if from the runner creation screen it just took you through the whole process instead of having to navigate to three different tabs.

I encountered challenges with patch management, as we struggled to test and implement patches due to time constraints. This led to our patch management process being ineffective.

The only issue we’ve encountered is that sometimes the scans take a long time to complete.

Occasionally, I will get one that does not offer a lot in the way of specific steps because the device on which it found the vulnerability is not a standard device that it recognizes.

We did hundreds of tests, so that is why we did not continue, as it was very expensive for a very low yield.
