Overall this product has worked well for us because of the integrations, we still use nessus on a case by case basis and nessus does perform much better.
Pros
It ties in directly to the compliance manager grc product. VulScan also makes tickets for vulnerabilities and does regular cadenced scans with automatic updates.
Cons
clunky when using, no sanitized inputs can result in failed scans with no errors to diagnose the issue.

The best software to prevent cyberattacks

I have had nothing but great experiences.
I have had nothing but great experiences.
Pros
I like how it pinpoints the entry points for viruses and cyberattacks. It's also very straightforward and keeps you more alert on cyberattacks. It's also super easy to use.
Cons
Honestly, nothing. There is nothing I dislike about this software and I can't recommend it enough. I guess the price could be lower

Vulscan identified dozens of threats on the first day of the appliance installation.

Loving it and due to their license model, it's great for smaller businesses with a number of clients.
Pros
Not only does it provide a GUI interface to well known CLI tools, but presents the results in a very easy to read format and most importantly, solutions and documentation references to understand the individual vulnerabilities.
Cons
The web interface is a little confusing and I believe they could leverage the underlying tools to provide other features.

Massive overhead required to keep it functional

Very weighty - not just in resources required for the VM, but even more so for the time it takes to just get this tool to work. We chose to spend a bit (not much) more money for a tool that does much more and is so much easier to manage. It could easily take hours to fully deploy a client with VulScan and there's no guarantee in my experience that you won't have to do it all over again, maybe even multiple times to get it working like it should. Dropping VulScan will enable us to actually focus on the remediation work. Even at it's best, it's sub-par.
Pros
When it is working properly, then it is still below average compared to other similar tools. It beats the competition on price, but nothing else in my experience. VulScan would be fine for a single, price sensitive organization without a complex network.
Cons
8GB of memory required for a VM that only runs scans a couple times a month. Constantly failing scans. Unintuitive and unimpressive reporting. Not a scalable solution. The amount of overhead required to deploy and maintain the tool.
Reasons for Switching to VulScan
VulScan was chosen by our company years ago because of price and because it is provided through Kaseya, which we use for other products. We are now choosing a different product because VulScan has been so overhead intensive that it reduces the amount of actual production work we can do.- Industry: Telecommunications
