Cost considerations
Annual pricing starts around $10–12 K for a single user, a steeper entry point than asset-based rivals that scan large networks for a similar spend. Extra capabilities like Cobalt Strike or cloud bundles require separate fees, so costs rise quickly as coverage broadens. Competitors usually include those scans in one license, making Core Security comparatively expensive.

Functionality
Core Security uses authenticated and agent-based scans that cover on-premise, cloud, and container assets. The Security GPA model converts raw findings into risk-weighted priorities and integrations push those prioritized issues into common ticketing systems. Because it lacks built-in automatic remediation validation and always-on asset discovery, functionality sits just below the leading tier.

Compatibility
Core Security handles Windows, Linux, macOS and hybrid-cloud assets and offers open APIs plus certified connectors for ServiceNow CMDB and SIEMs like QRadar and LogRhythm. ServiceNow Sync automates ticket and asset updates with little manual effort. The available material does not highlight container support or SSO, so compatibility stops short of a perfect score.

User experience
Business users highlight wizard-based workflows and an intuitive interface that let new testers navigate scans quickly with minimal ramp-up. Some reviews still point to report cleanup and sparse documentation, so the experience is logical rather than fully seamless
