VulScan Pros and Cons

The customization of this software is what my team liked best. VulScan allows us to schedule network scanning based on our frequency. We also like the option that allows our admins to automatically create tickets for problems/concerns that arise which works to overall streamline our processes. Overall, the software really works to help facilitate our day-to-day system issues and alerts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I will say the the price was the main thing we were hesitant on this software from the longest time. It's not the highest price in the market, but it's not the lowest. But I do think the positive outcome this software has provided our company has made up for the price. Along with their customer service - they are always a call, message, email, click away.

It provides a great level of insight into areas of risk not usually checked, or at the very least, not easily checked on scale. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The main downside of VulScan is that it requires a significant amount of resources to run and can take a long time to complete a scan, especially on large networks. Additionally, VulScan may generate a large number of false positive results, which can make it difficult to determine which vulnerabilities are actually present in a system. Another downside is that the tool does not provide a way to automatically fix the vulnerabilities it finds, it just reports them. This means that an administrator must manually patch or otherwise remediate each vulnerability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Provides NSE scripts that can add flexibility regarding vulnerability detection and exploitation. Some of the features that NSE scripts provide include network discovery, more sophisticated version detection, vulnerability detection and backdoor detection. Open source has a single database mode to check vulnerabilities with CVE databases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

version detection of vulscan is only as good as Nmap version detection and can give false positives but that''s a given thing aboutvulnerability scanning. No major downsides. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy installation and we get a good view of the environment, where we have an overview for anyone registered on the platform, a positive point compared to other tools that store vulnerabilities locally. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The same internal Scan could be the external one to perform the vulnerability scan Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Utilizing the different scan behaviors you want to run i.e. (comprehensive, standard etc) and running credentialed scans. I enjoy the various edit features you can select when generating reports. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I dislike about Vulcan is its report-by-scan setup.

It's a little tricky at times to organize reports based on network segmentation,

Not allowing users to toggle whether brute force login-ins can be set off during a standard or comprehensive scan. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Vulscan is open source and similar to nmap but with vulnerability features so i can make my reports with cve score with little false positives and productivity comes along with it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

An threat landscape is little tricky to understand and SLA's were difficult to map and further vulnerability patches are little difficult to remediate quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ease of use, and functionality. Make our jobs easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

VulScan has simplified our process for scanning interally and externally, all while giving us the flexibility and scalability our growing organization needs. As an MSP, our customers so far have enjoyed the streamlined benefits. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There aren't any visable downsides from what we have been able to see since we started using, though improvements and bug fixes can always be made. Improvements to the dashboards would be favorable but we know these will be completed down the line. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Multi-tenant console is great for managed security service providers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
