CEO Computer & Network Security Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "It's an adequate product if you use Compliance Manager GRC" September 8, 2023 3.0 Overall this product has worked well for us because of the integrations, we still use nessus on a case by case basis and nessus does perform much better. Pros It ties in directly to the compliance manager grc product. VulScan also makes tickets for vulnerabilities and does regular cadenced scans with automatic updates. Cons clunky when using, no sanitized inputs can result in failed scans with no errors to diagnose the issue. Reason for choosing VulScan solely integrations Review Source Justin L. Business Development Associate Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "The best software to prevent cyberattacks " February 2, 2023 5.0 I have had nothing but great experiences. Pros I like how it pinpoints the entry points for viruses and cyberattacks. It's also very straightforward and keeps you more alert on cyberattacks. It's also super easy to use. Cons Honestly, nothing. There is nothing I dislike about this software and I can't recommend it enough. I guess the price could be lower Review Source EE Eric E. CEO Computer & Network Security Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Good option if you don't want to set up your own OpenVAS system or find Nessus too expensive" February 6, 2023 2.0 Overall the product is able to find and report on found vulnerabilities Pros Easy of use - Easy to setup and conduct basic scansCreates basic vulnerability reportsPrice point is fair if you don't have the time or expertise to set up OpenVAS Cons Limited reporting capabilitiesLimited vulnerability tracking and metricsLacks quantifiable risk assessment processLacks meaningful and helpful integration with other productsLacks meaningful ability to create service tickets for found vulnerabilitiesLacks clear asset management and reporting capabilities Alternatives considered [OpenVAS](https://www.capterra.com/p/238823/OpenVAS/) Reason for choosing VulScan cost, implementation/management requirements Switched from [Nessus](https://www.capterra.com/p/130577/Nessus/)[OpenVAS](https://www.capterra.com/p/238823/OpenVAS/) Price point and time required to implement and manage Review Source SK Sheila K. Field Marketing Strategist Telecommunications Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "VulScan is a great product and user friendly. " January 27, 2023 5.0 Overall, we really enjoy the product. Pros We liked the ability to be able to scale it as our company grows. Cons As any software, there are some kinks and challenges upon deployment, but we have since worked through those. Review Source CK Cliff K. IT Consultant Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "1 year onsite deployment" January 27, 2023 4.0 Overall it has been a great investment for identifying and remediating network threats. Pros Vulscan identified dozens of threats on the first day of the appliance installation. Cons Deciphering the identified threats and remediating them is a challenge sometimes. Review Source JB Josh B. Information Security Specialist Computer & Network Security Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Massive overhead required to keep it functional" February 1, 2023 3.0 Very weighty - not just in resources required for the VM, but even more so for the time it takes to just get this tool to work. We chose to spend a bit (not much) more money for a tool that does much more and is so much easier to manage. It could easily take hours to fully deploy a client with VulScan and there's no guarantee in my experience that you won't have to do it all over again, maybe even multiple times to get it working like it should. Dropping VulScan will enable us to actually focus on the remediation work. Even at it's best, it's sub-par. Pros When it is working properly, then it is still below average compared to other similar tools. It beats the competition on price, but nothing else in my experience. VulScan would be fine for a single, price sensitive organization without a complex network. Cons 8GB of memory required for a VM that only runs scans a couple times a month. Constantly failing scans. Unintuitive and unimpressive reporting. Not a scalable solution. The amount of overhead required to deploy and maintain the tool. Alternatives considered [Qualys Cloud Platform](https://www.capterra.com/p/82971/QualysGuard-Enterprise/)[Nessus](https://www.capterra.com/p/130577/Nessus/)[Tenable Vulnerability Management](https://www.capterra.com/p/230629/Tenableio/)[Cyrisma](https://www.capterra.com/p/275046/CYRISMA/) Reason for choosing VulScan VulScan was chosen by our company years ago because of price and because it is provided through Kaseya, which we use for other products. We are now choosing a different product because VulScan has been so overhead intensive that it reduces the amount of actual production work we can do. Review Source DW Dean W. Senior System Admin Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Easy to use and takes the guesswork out of security hardening…" January 27, 2023 5.0 Loving it and due to their license model, it's great for smaller businesses with a number of clients. Pros Not only does it provide a GUI interface to well known CLI tools, but presents the results in a very easy to read format and most importantly, solutions and documentation references to understand the individual vulnerabilities. Cons The web interface is a little confusing and I believe they could leverage the underlying tools to provide other features. Reason for choosing VulScan Features vs price Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Director Telecommunications Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Good Basic Tool" February 7, 2023 5.0 So far good. Not usre we are using it to its full potential Pros Easy to deploy and use. Appears to be a good basic tool. Using the trial Version - not sure we are getting the full capacity of the program. Cons Does not seem to cover all the cyber-nooks and crannies - good over all tool Reason for choosing VulScan Using Trial Version - will make a decision in the near future Review Source SG Shubham G. IT Team Manager Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Scan the vulnerabilities" February 15, 2023 4.0 The product is a great help in securing the network. Pros The scheduled scans help in risk assessment and prioritizing the management requirements to prevent damage and loss. Cons The scans sometimes are not as per the schedule.
