    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

    It's really challenging at times to contend with multiple vulnerabilities on a daily basis, and having a way to make sense of what actually needs to be prioritized and what can be shifted further down the task list is extremely helpful. Because the solution suggests what your next step should be in mitigating a specific vulnerability, it helps us save time and research by enabling us to immediately take action after being informed about an issue.

    • 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.

    Usability

    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

    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

    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 why Vulcan was specifically chosen

    • 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.
