Cisco Vulnerability Management identifies and prioritizes security risks across networks and endpoints. It integrates with Cisco security products to provide continuous visibility and automated remediation workflows.
Why these ratings?
Cyberse perspective
Summary by Cyberse
Microsoft Sentinel may be considered a good fit for you due to its powerful capabilities.
Here’s a few tips on how to maximize its capabilities:
We use the following criteria to rate this product’s functionality:
Cost considerations
Licensing is per asset and only covers analytics, so organizations must still fund separate scanning tools. Optional modules for application or remediation insights add more line items and push the total higher than integrated suites. The higher per-asset spend and extra fees weaken the overall cost-value balance compared with peers.
Functionality
Cisco Vulnerability Management depends on external scanners for finding issues, so native discovery and authenticated coverage vary by integration. The product provides risk-based scores and opens remediation tickets in tools like ServiceNow or Jira, then checks that fixes are applied. Because it lacks built-in scanning but offers solid prioritization and workflow, overall functionality sits mid-range among vulnerability management tools.
Compatibility
Cisco Vulnerability Management offers API-based connectors for major clouds, container tools, CMDBs such as ServiceNow, and SIEMs like Splunk, with SAML SSO built in. Coverage spans most operating systems through data ingested from common scanners, yet a few edge environments still need custom scripts. This puts its integration reach above most peers, though not quite at the “works everywhere out of the box” level.
User experience
Dashboards immediately surface the highest-risk issues and simple filters let teams drill into assets or exploitability with only a few clicks, so most users ramp up quickly. Creating customized reports or complex queries still takes some trial and error, which keeps the experience just shy of the very top tier.
Customer support
Cisco offers 24×7 TAC phone help plus detailed web guides, so users usually get same-day answers. Risk data for new CVEs is refreshed daily, meaning coverage arrives well inside a week. Only larger contracts receive a dedicated success manager, so support falls just short of the top tier.
