One of the things that we've shared with Horizon is just the reporting. They've made a lot of changes over time, but when examining computers, most average normal people don't look at a computer and identify it as 114.82.117.180. They identify it as 'the printer for accounting.' When many of the reports give the very detailed technical IP address or serial number, that's really not helpful for anyone other than the person, the hands-on person that's trying to remediate it. All the managers, all the leaders, having information in that format isn't helpful. Being able to have information about what those devices are would be very helpful. There's a technical reason they can't just have an easy button because some people have really complicated networks. When examining things for the average company, the average executive, that 114 number, there's only one of those. But if examining an AT&T or a Walmart, it isn't unique. They haven't solved that problem. But for the 90% of companies, being able to have just a human readable name for all devices on your network in all of the reports all of the time would be the most beneficial.
I started with The NodeZero Platform when it was less mature. Anytime I encountered something annoying or identified a gap that needed attention, they had already fixed or added it by the time I would have requested it. The product is being rapidly developed at this stage. There really isn't anything feature-wise that I would request or change because it's a good product. It does what it claims and excels at finding issues and covering large environments so humans don't have to perform repetitive tasks for extended periods. This allows us to focus on what's important: fixing and protecting systems. If there was one thing I would change, I would want their consulting licensing to return to being unlimited.

One significant area to focus on is external vulnerabilities, particularly in the web application space. This often requires a greater level of human ingenuity, as it typically involves navigating a webpage, creating an account, and testing for various vulnerabilities, such as SQL injection. Adding this capability would be a valuable enhancement.
One of the areas where improvement is needed is in the visibility and reporting for large enterprises. The existing GUI or NodeZero insights provide better visibility, but there's still room for enhancement. Moreover, there is a need to automate interactions with other systems, particularly in triggering or opening tickets in ServiceNow ( /products/servicenow-reviews ). Adding the application layer would also be valuable for clients.
I haven't really come across anything that I say needs to be improved with it, other than the container runner, which tends to lose time. It does not always sync with the cloud versions, so I have to do it manually.

We run the penetration testing and look at the reports. The reports are quite useless. We are looking for a different product. The tool did not help enhance our organization's cybersecurity posture. The reports had a lot of false positives. They didn't detect anything. The tool didn’t identify any vulnerabilities. The solution must detect threats and vulnerabilities.
NodeZero by Horizon3.ai is an offensive security platform that enables users to adopt an attacker’s perspective, reveal vulnerabilities, and verify defense effectiveness with evidence-backed insights.NodeZero provides autonomous pentesting, showing how attackers exploit misconfigurations, credentials, and exposures into attack paths. It helps focus on real risks rather than hypothetical ones, integrating seamlessly into existing IT and security workflows to streamline processes. The platform...
I think The NodeZero Platform could improve by leveraging GPUs for password cracking, which would be pretty good.
