Technology Team Leader Government Administration Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "finds everything, clean ui, just works" March 13, 2020 5.0 The visibility that this tool provides is fantastic. It was an easy sell to me for features and an easy sell to my boss as far as cost. Pros I really like how painless it was to install the scanning agent and how light it is on that server's resource load. The reporting front end on the Rumble website is super responsive and the info on there is exhaustive. Cons Maybe have a couple of quick templates for alerts. It took less than a minute to set up an alert for newly discovered devices, however a novice sysadmin may benefit from some ready-made use cases for alerts, red flags, etc. Review Source Response from runZero March 17, 2020 Thanks for the feedback! Alert templates are a great idea and something we will look into. JM Jeff M. Founder Information Technology and Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Rumble is like nmap on steroids; actionable intelligence fed daily" March 12, 2020 5.0 I used Rumble for several client networks as a test and additional information compared to my normal nmap / Nessus / etc scans. Honestly, even the betas of Rumble gave me more actionable intelligence than the others. Today's networks often have single factor authentication services exposed remotely, even when they loudly proclaim that they've moved to 2FA. Finding and categorizing services (Remote Desktop Gateway via HTTPS, OpenVPN Appliance, Exchange, etc.) was really powerful and impressive especially, for quick review of larger environments. Pros I'm deeply impressed by the depth of protocol knowledge displayed and made available with Rumble. Correlating assets that change IP addresses automatically, loads of support for SNMP... the list goes on and on. Cons While the interface is pretty good about encouraging natural discovery of features, a guided tour of an example network would be a great use of time to introduce newer users. Reason for choosing runZero To compare and contract. I was damn impressed! Review Source Response from runZero March 16, 2020 Thanks for the feedback! A guided tour is a great idea and something we will look into. AD Andrew D. Security Analyst Higher Education Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Drew's Review" March 13, 2020 4.0 It's a solid product for quickly getting a manifest of hosts, services and accompanying metadata and leveraging that information into something useful. Pros For my organization we use it to keep a handle on what hosts are on the network (both ones that are in our catalog and those we do not know about). We also use it to get an idea on what kind of services are running and version information and to do so quickly. That is one area where this app really excels, it's crazy fast compared to doing common NMAP scans. Cons I'd like recurring scans to get queued if their time comes and there is another scan in progress (or at least have the option to have them queued). Trying to schedule scans to completely turn over a 10.x.x.x space when you're doing a couple class b subnets at a time is on par with air traffic control as far as difficulty. Review Source Response from runZero March 17, 2020 Thanks for the feedback! On the scan queue side, this is partially implemented, but limited to a four-hour window, and could definitely be more configurable. DG Daryl G. Owner Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great Product" March 12, 2020 5.0 We use the product to scan customer networks for asset inventories. It has greatly reduced the amount of technician time necessary to complete those inventories. Pros Quick and Easy to Implement. The software was able to find assets even with active firewalls. The interface is excellent. Cons There are a few items (like Asset Tags) that the software can't always detect. However, we were able to quickly work with the support team to get updates that improved the available details. Review Source Response from runZero March 13, 2020 Thanks for the feedback! We would love to do more around Asset Tags/Service Tags and make the platform more useful for things like warranty checks. BW Branden W. Adjunct Professor Education Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "If it's connected, Rumble WILL find it" March 12, 2020 5.0 Rumble augments and validates your system inventory in ways previously not possible with this level of ease. I can quickly look at hosts, OS versions, services, etc and cross-reference with known good inventory to find problems. As an example, I found a printer with an extremely old firmware that had gone un-patched for years. Pros I like the ease of deployment and the versatility of the agents. I'm running on multiple operating systems and hardware platforms and they all work amazing. I also love the WiFi Scanning for WiFi-enabled agents, and the screen capture function for anything that responds to HTTP requests. Cons The agent doesn't always correctly discover all the attributes that belong to a host (such as IPs), so it sometimes alerts you to a change that is just a discrepancy in the scan. Review Source Response from runZero March 13, 2020 Thanks for the review! Improving the reliability of change detection and providing configurable alerting is high on our list of priorities. DL David L. Security Research Utilities Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "An accurate way to discover your attack surface" March 23, 2020 5.0 Rapid discovery of assets across large distributed networks. Pros Out of the box discovery of tons of different protocols. Cons Nothing so far, I definitely want the ability to run it self hosted at some point Review Source Response from runZero March 26, 2020 Thanks for the feedback! LR LUIS R. Information Security Analyst Higher Education Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "If only we had the money..." March 12, 2020 4.0 asset management is a problem and continues to be one, sneaker net is not a solution Pros Its ease of use at implementation. Install agent. Run scan. Review results. Cons At the time of our Free Trial, it wasn't finding everything, I believe it would discover more products now. Also reporting, we didn't delve into the reporting aspects of the product, these would have to be top-notch to be able to switch me Alternatives considered [Cherwell Service Management](https://www.capterra.com/p/121158/Cherwell-Software/) Reason for choosing runZero we have not decided how to proceed. Review Source Response from runZero March 13, 2020 Thanks for the feedback! We are continuing to invest in additional protocol coverage and reporting features and hope to show significant improvements soon. TS Tom S. Lead IT Security Engineer Higher Education Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "What is the CSC's control number 1?" March 13, 2020 5.0 The application was overall great and we saw a lot value in the visability it provided. Allowing us to find devices that were not configured correctly, old out of date operating systems, and IOT systems that should be segmented. Pros The inventory of systems is the CSC control number one. You can't protect what you don't know you have in your environment. This product solves that problem and more... We were up and collecting data within minutes! This product gave us visibility into devices/systems on our network and helped me discover misconfigurations and out of date operating systems. Cons During the beta testing of the application the only grip I had was when the scanner would fall off line, you would have to start over. The devices it has already scanned would be lost. Review Source Response from runZero March 17, 2020 Thanks for the feedback! NJ Nick J. Senior Systems Administrator Computer & Network Security Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Rumble is great!" March 15, 2020 5.0 Shortly after installing: "We have an IP KVM?" Pros Rumble is outstanding. It does one thing: provides visibility to what's plugged into your network, and it does it well. Cons Licensing could be a little more granular, but this is a minor gripe and only occurs because we're just under the next tier of pricing. Review Source Response from runZero March 17, 2020 Thanks for the feedback! We will look into more flexible licensing options going forward. VR Verified Reviewer consultant Computer Networking Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Fantastic platform for active scanning" August 11, 2020 5.0 Having full visibility and with continuing comparisons for what's not eh network is a huge plus. Inventory is a breeze. Pros Feature, function & price can't be beat. Having BACnet & industrial protocols is just icing on the cake. Cons New features are being rolled out at an amazing pace, about one significant upgrade per month. Maintaining that and continually finding the new updates on the menus & reports? If that's our biggest problem, then there it is. Reason for choosing runZero Really, like I said before the cost per device per month is substantially less than anything else out there, and the functionality is exactly what we need. Review Source Response from runZero August 18, 2020 Thank you very much for the feedback! CA Cody A. IT Manager Information Technology and Services Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Rumble trial" March 12, 2020 5.0 It seems to be a great alternative to Nmap Pros Speed of the scan, ease of use, depth of scan Cons No option for scanning for additional information with a password Reason for choosing runZero . Switched from [Nmap](https://www.capterra.com/p/163417/Nmap/) Always looking for alternatives Review Source Response from runZero March 14, 2020 Thanks for the feedback! Rumble supports SNMP v1/2/3 credentials today, but does not query Active Directory or access CLI services by design. We will consider supporting this in future versions, but the primary focus is still unauthenticated network discovery. KE Keatron E. Managing Partner Computer & Network Security Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "A Complete Discovery and Inventory Tool" March 13, 2020 5.0 Pros The things I liked the most about Rumble was the ease of deployment and the depth of discovery. Cons I don't really have any cons yet. I'm anxiously awaiting to deploy it in production in our client engagements. Reason for choosing runZero Followed HD Moore since I was a lowly pentester teaching ethical hacking courses. Review Source Response from runZero March 14, 2020 Thanks for the feedback! We are looking forward to hearing about your experience during client deployments.
