We have been using Fortra VM for almost 9 years now and am very pleased with the platform and service. We have compared the results of the security vulnerability scans to other product scans and confirmed Fortra VM is a great value for us. Our teams use the security vulnerability scans to assess our endpoint posture and the reports help our teams narrow down on where we need to perform remediations and address critical and high risk findings.

To be honest, I can't recall anything I dislike about the platform and service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
i am thrilled with that and I've been using it since 2020 it was very lightweight for me and their customer support is too good Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
i have no problem with that now and when I got stuck I will inform you Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like how the dashboard and active view consolidates and prioritizes the findings. This and the notes features keep our team on the same page while remediating vulnerabilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Currently, my biggest concern is that there is no way to get debugging or command-line access to the scanners. The best would be a remote console into the scanners from the dashboard that would allow us to do things like connectivity tests in a customer's environment without having access to their network itself. A debugging view of what a scanner is doing during a scan would also be beneficial, possibly access to a log file from a scan's run to better help us troubleshoot failed scans or failures to discover anything.
Finally, I continue to find broken links and references to documentation that's moved throughout places like frontline's site, AWS marketplace, and the dashboard itself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The UI is good overall. There are suggestions on how to fix each detected issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The active view page does not seem accurate. I correct issues on scans, then re-scan, and it goes away on the new scan, but it does not ever leave the active view for some reason.
The UI is good overall, but if you're looking at a vulnerability its tough to jump to systems affected.
I suspect there were one or two false positives on missing patches. The systems scanned had all of their patches. It eventually went away, and I dont seem to recall a patch job occuring between then and when it went away. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The platform is very easy to use and navigate. The dashboards and data filters are easy to set up and all pertinent information is readily available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
In our new remote world, it would be nice to scan computers that are not on our network. Say an agent based scan. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Easy to use interface and quickly calls out and describes what risks may need to be addressed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The scanner tool is not easily customized to remove and add clients from the scanning environment. You need to engage an account manager to assist Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
When issues are identified Frontline directs you to knowledgebase articles that outline the vulnerability and the fix allowing for less research and more patching/configuration of the core issue. I spend less time looking for answers so I can get back to my primary roles Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Setting up scanning can be a bit convoluted on your own but your account manager can assist with this. Tagging assets as an accepted risk won't asjust the scan score and rescans for fixed assets seems slow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Solid scanning tool overall. UI is very intuitive and works well. Like the filters and ability to have different focused views. GPA works well to track improvements. Seems to be kept up to date with latest CVEs in a timey manner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Have had some issues where scanner doesn't complete and had to re deploy internal scanner RNA. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Ease of use for most operations. Even the reporting function works fairly well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Exceptions and remediation are difficult to record and not very effective even when you do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
