Chose Vulcan Cyber (discontinued)
I wasn't here at the time when the company compared different vulnerability management platforms so I'm not sure on the reasoning and difference between the 2. It could be that the team went through different choices and found Vulcan to be the best fit. It's hard for me to say …
Chose Vulcan Cyber (discontinued)
My role is not in charge of selecting more services or products like Vulcan. I just use them as part of my daily responsibilities. Maybe other roles can give more feedback about this.
Chose Vulcan Cyber (discontinued)
Nucleus Security was missing some connectors and was more focused on risk prioritization than ticketing automation.

Seemplicity had a different billing method that may have ended up being more expensive. Also a younger app.
Chose Vulcan Cyber (discontinued)
Vulcan Cyber has a more mature platform catered for enterprise customers compared to Nucleus. The very close support and attention to detail of the Vulcan sales and technical team also helped in answering any possible question we had about the platform or take note of our …
Chose Vulcan Cyber (discontinued)
The competitors were either more complex to implement or higher cost for similar capabilities.
Chose Vulcan Cyber (discontinued)
Vulcan was easier to implement with our existing Security environment. The UX and UI were more intuitive and user-friendly. While SOAR is a super solid product, for our business Vulcan made more sense. It was more of a natural fit for a rapidly-expanding company in a …

Tanium is well suited for organizations where enterprise infrastructure has great significance and needs to be properly managed as well as protected. Most organizations depend upon their infrastructure to sustain so Tanium can be a boon for them to sustain in this competitive market. However, Tanium is less appropriate for the traditional offices that don't have or have a less online presence.

We use Vulcan Cyber to help with the technical debt accrued over time with systems that were not maintained as well as they should be. To combat this, we use the campaign feature to keep a running tab on every system to ensure it is brought up to standards and maintained.

  • Deduping of assets could be better.
  • The weighting of vulnerabilities is hard to describe to non technical executives.
  • The Business Groups and Tagging needs improvement. Or at least allow tags to be removed if not needed. Now they are static from the API feed.

Vulcan was easier to implement with our existing Security environment. The UX and UI were more intuitive and user-friendly. While SOAR is a super solid product, for our business Vulcan made more sense. It was more of a natural fit for a rapidly-expanding company in a hyper-growth phase using Edge technology.

Return on Investment
  • Adding the IOC 's tracing infected machines, and removing unwanted applications quickly.
  • Quarantine the infected machine from the network in order to prevent it from causing damage or infecting other machines.
  • The user interface could be improved.

  • Allows much better prioritizing of which assets are most vulnerable
  • Allow a better understanding of what assets are actually under real threat vs. what is assumed to be vulnerable, but the real world fact is the system would be hard to reach internally, so it's not as vulnerable.
