"BitSight has been a good source to identify issues that are present in our environment."

3.5/5

What do you like best about Bitsight?

One thing that I like the most about BitSight is the "Risk Remediation Plan" that it creates. It breaks down very clearly how we could achieve a better grade by remediating some issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bitsight?

The one thing that I would like that BitSight doesn't have is separating the IP range depending on what region the IP is registered for ( ex, Asia, Europe, South America, etc.) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only issue is with generating a report for onboarding based on specific paratmeters for vendors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Detailed Platform"

5/5

What do you like best about Bitsight?

BitSight representatives provided an excellent level of service through the onboarding process. Any questions our team had were answered clearly. The platform itself is straightforward to navigate.

"An amazing platform."

5/5

What do you like best about Bitsight?

The ease of navigation and its accuracy is off the charts. The more I use Bitsight, the more I've learned to trust it. Some of our vendors have been absolutely amazed at my visibility into the inner working of their enterprise - thanks to Bitsight. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bitsight?

Pricing. I don't know what we're paying to use the platform, but I assume it must be pricey (because of the number of licenses we have). To build the risk environment/ecosystem that I envision, it's going to require more licenses because we have a ton of vendors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Bitsight solving and how is that benefiting you?

The problem that BitSight solves is it eliminates blind-trust relationships with vendors. Vendors can tell us anything, but because of BitSight, we have the ability to validate what we're being told. That's not the only thing though, I love the continuous monitoring aspects of BitSight. One of our vendors was hit by a ransomware attack, and BitSight let us know about it 4 - 5 days before the vendor did. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Seems like a great tool for obtaining a quick bird-eye view of an organization's security posture."

4/5

What do you like best about Bitsight?

I think the ease of consolidating information into easy-to-read reports is very nice. As we primarily work with clients, being able to provide them with a report, with statistics and numbers to help them understand their posture in a layman's manner is great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bitsight?

My only current complaint would be the lack of explanation regarding the behind-the-scenes/technical functioning of how BitSight actually finds these flaws/vulnerabilities. i.e. How exactly is BitSight determining this port is open, & how is BitSight determining these HTTP headers are missing etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
