VulScan Pros and Cons

Easy to use, easy to schedule scans, results are easy to read and the mitigation steps are very helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Only issue I disliked was you had to setup an external scan yourself. They just added the hosted external scan which I will be reaching out to my account rep to get setup! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

VulScan's an easy tool to use to run vulnerability scan's on your own. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some of the terminology can be confusing but it is explained fairly well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very intuitive and reports are easy to read and full of useful information Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are no downsides that I can think of Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is extremely thorough in detecting issues either hardware or software based and giving resolution advice. And now with externally hosted scanning, it's an excellent tool back and front. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The dashboard could use an update - and external and internal scans could be more unified. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Vulscan is quick to set up.

Vulscan is improving its detection mechanisms frequently.

Vulscan allows multi-tenancy to provide division for multiple customers in one interface. Allowing users access to Vulscan is also extremely easy. Separating external and internal scanners makes scheduling and scheming vulnerability scans easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Reporting is dubious at best. There is no easy way to review vulnerabilities. This same reporting limitation prevents creating exceptions for devices more difficult than it should be.

Installing the detection agent for individual Windows devices requires manual intervention, and there are no apparent silent installation options or any documentation for silent installation for mass deployment.

When compared to other products, Vulscan misses significant details in installed application vulnerabilities.

Remediation steps are often very generic and include no real actions to take. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best thing about Vulscan is how the findings are represented to you. It'd be one thing if it just said "there's a vulnerability with X and here's the relevant CVE and the CVSS Score," but Vulscan goes well beyond that. It explains why this is a vulnerability, when it was found and how best to remediate. It gives you all the tools you need to make informed decisions on the cybersecurity posture of a client's (or your own) network. Worth the money Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Vulscan can be a bit tricky to install because it requires you to install on a hypervisor. It took us several days to install it correctly the first time but once we got the hang of it, it turned out to be OK. I would much rather have an ISO file that we boot a VM to and then install the OS that way but that's my 2 cents. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is integrated into the Rapidfire Portal and for what it does, it is fairly inexpensive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

2 things.

1) you can not pull multi-site reports of all sites in your tenant. It would be nice to be able to get a global view so that we can tell what vulnerabilities are affecting all sites, or enough sites to make an automated solution feasible.

2) The remediation direction is very generic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to use/setup with helpful support when the knowledgebase articles don't exactly get the issue resolved. Easy to automate when/how to run. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Remote site Vulnerability scanning when clients don't have a server or computer capible of running as a hypervisor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I liked its security finding technologie that make our organization secure. Also, it is very easy to use. It provide some flexibility to us in terms of vulnerability detection and exploitation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

VulScan, can sometimes generate false positive results for us. That means we are reporting those vulnerabilities that do not actually exist, So that will waste our time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that it first integrates with Network Detective Pro when generating network vulnerability and security reports, and second, it can be installed on any domain-joined machine using hyper-v. Even though the instructions sometimes seem misleading, with help from support, I could set it up and get it going. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not sure if I can tell you what to dislike about the VulScan, I think its a good product and does a lot but like I mentioned, I need some fine tunning and help from support to set the product up. Not easy for first-timers Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
