User Testimonials

Likelihood to Recommend	Amazon AWS It is necessary to enable [AWS] Cloudtrail when using AWS in a production environment, otherwise you will not have any idea what is happening within your accounts. Third party monitoring applications will all require [AWS] CloudTrail to be enabled as well. I would not recommend it solely as a monitoring tool, to get the most out of it you must send the logs elsewhere. Either to Cloudwatch logs or a third party product. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Cisco For user end devices this product has worked great for us. We have been able to find vulnerabilities/risks with certain software in bulk on devices and implement fixes for them very quickly. CVM has also provided us visabity on all our devices that we never had before and we can close gaps security wise a lot faster knowing now where problems are at Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	Amazon AWS API Log User activity tracking Real-time alerts Incentivized AS Anton Smyslov Product Owner Read full review	Cisco Vulnerability tracking Risk Meter reporting to pinpoint specific systems or vulnerabilities Provides vulnerability scores to see what is high / medium / low urgency Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	Amazon AWS [In my experience] Cost can easily get out of control with multiple trails on full logging Logs can be difficult to decipher Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Cisco Faster system scan times in background more accurate vulnerability remediation links Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Usability	Amazon AWS No answers on this topic	Cisco CVM provides a very easy to understand and use interfaces. Dashboards and reporting are compiled nicely when risk meters are created. After initial setup of software cisco onboarding teams do an amazing job going over all areas of this software to provide best overall usability of the product. Against other tools setup and usability is at a higher standard Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Amazon AWS I think in the end, CloudTrail has more features and you can dive deeper inside the logs so it depends on your usage and what you expect in the end to make the right choice, I would say that both tools are really useful and bring a lot of benefits to I.T. companies. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Cisco We run a flavor of multiple products and CVM enhances/complements those tools by pinpointing where the vulnerabilities are at on our network. Intune and Automox being products CVM works well with when its time to patch affected systems. Tenable we used prior to CVM and its product was too complex and clunky and always had issues with asset duplication. CVM simplified vulnerability scanning and made it a lot easier to manage compared to Tenable Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Return on Investment	Amazon AWS Allows us to investigate any strange api actions Increases security Audit trail of changes made in AWS Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Cisco We have lowered our companies risk score from 850 to 660 in less than 6 months. We have mitigated over 120,000 Vulnerabilities on our network since using CVM. We have been able to streamline/prioritize patch management based off scans CVM provides from our assets.
