Comprehensive Vulnerability Management with Stellar Support **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Husain A. | Senior DevSecOps Engineer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 08, 2026 **What do you like best about Nucleus?** I really appreciate the amazing customer support from Nucleus; they are very proactive in listening to our needs and problems. It's been great to have built a partnership over the last three years. Also, I love that Nucleus has an API-centric design, allowing us to do a lot of things via the API, which is constantly improving. The modularity and the level of customization and automation rules are also standout features for me. Nucleus truly allows us to manipulate and organize data the way we want, rather than us having to adapt to the tool's limitations. **What do you dislike about Nucleus?** I'd say the visibility could be improved, especially seeing what's going on behind the scenes in terms of processing. It's not just about the tool and processes but also about asset management. I think more in-depth visibility with Nucleus's asset inventory module would be beneficial. Additionally, I'm finding the user access manager part a bit difficult to handle, even though SSO support is there. **What problems is Nucleus solving and how is that benefiting you?** I use Nucleus for vulnerability management, aggregating and transforming data from scanners into one platform. It helps prioritize remediation clearly, track assets effectively, and customize scoring, enhancing control over severity settings. ### 2. Streamlined Reporting with Nucleus, Easy Setup! **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Manish G. | Devops Support Engineer, Information Technology and Services, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 21, 2025 **What do you like best about Nucleus?** I really appreciate how Nucleus is very useful for reporting purposes, especially in terms of managing vulnerabilities and threat assessments. The ability to schedule reports on a monthly or weekly basis, and even take instant reports, is incredibly beneficial. One of the standout features I absolutely like is the dashboard, which offers options similar to AI, allowing us to schedule reports, apply advanced filters, and quickly retrieve reports. This efficiency is particularly impressive because I can download multiple reports for various programs, which saves a lot of time. The security platform itself is excellent, and I find the dashboard features extremely advanced. It's great for risk prioritization, where I can view risks in terms of their severity—high, critical, medium, or low—and take necessary actions. This makes it very fast and smooth to work with. Additionally, the process of automating tasks is streamlined through dynamic automation frameworks, which includes ticketing and reporting, thus minimizing manual intervention. Overall, I find Nucleus to be a powerful tool that enhances our workflow substantially. **What do you dislike about Nucleus?** I think it can be improved by integrating with tools such as a pager or XMeter. This would allow immediate remediation of critical vulnerabilities, enhancing the tool's effectiveness in urgent situations. **What problems is Nucleus solving and how is that benefiting you?** I use Nucleus for reporting vulnerabilities and threat management, offering scheduled and instant reports. It provides live dashboards to view risk scores, allows automated workflows, and reduces manual work with its dynamic automation, enhancing efficiency in managing vulnerabilities. ### 3. Ease of Use - single view Dashboard and excellent Vulnerability monitoring. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Pradeep S. | Team Lead, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 30, 2022 **What do you like best about Nucleus?** Vulnerability overview with different classifications. Filtering by environment and project really helpful. Interface is easy to work with without much training needed. Template section to understand different vulnerabilities and CWSS score helpful. Easy to download the Asset list to various formats like pdf, Excel or CSV. Viewing the details along the report is really handy. Centralized view of vulnerabilities , compliance. Integrated with SSO. **What do you dislike about Nucleus?** Though documentation is good but providing a university/academy classes to use the tool will be really helpful. Especially around customization of the report and integration with enterprise tools. Preference section some minor enhancements to retain the filters and scope. **Recommendations to others considering Nucleus:** With Nucleus it is very easy to quickly get insights of the project and all the vulnerabilities. It's definitely a really handy tool. **What problems is Nucleus solving and how is that benefiting you?** Observability,Centralized view and details of vulnerabilities of assets. Dashboard with many out of the box filters helps to quickly generate report and get insights of all assets. Risk score is really helpful in prioritizing the work load. ### 4. Easy to use **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Holly Hui Lin H. | Sr. SAP Configuration Analyst for Accounts Payables, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 27, 2022 **What do you like best about Nucleus?** I like that it is easy to use Nucleus. You can create projects to separate prod and non-prod; you can filter by assets (Asset Groups, Asset Types, Business Owner Teams and Support teams). When searching data to input into the "Asset Groups" and other asset fields, you can just type in an owner name and that will search for that text in the whole string. no need to remember the string format or using wild card. I am a very visual person so I love the colorful clock chart for Project Risk Score and Vulnerabilities By Source bar chart. It allows me to sort with the most vulnerable ones on top. I love the color coding to tell me that red is the most urgent ones. I also like the main menu is on the left-hand side and it is easy to drill into sub menu. i like how you can schedule a report or run it on the fly and send out emails. I also like how you can export tickets into .csv format file and work in MS Excel after the export. I like the Import History under Data Ingest has the Excel look and feel and it has refresh button at the bottom I like how we can download the Asset list or report to Excel or CSV format **What do you dislike about Nucleus?** I am still not comfortable with the Search function. maybe i just need more training. **What problems is Nucleus solving and how is that benefiting you?** detect our application vulnerability ### 5. Vulnerabilities Are Everywhere **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Matt N. | Senior Security Architect, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 29, 2022 **What do you like best about Nucleus?** In today's application-centric business climate, there is a huge need to aggregate vulnerabilities from your entire organization, not just infrastructure. Nucleus gives you that ability and helps make sense of it all. Without it, you might be spending a lot of time and effort patching the wrong vulnerabilities wasting precious resources and leaving your company in jeopardy. **What do you dislike about Nucleus?** There is a requirement for security folks to understand the plans, goals and go-to-market strategies of the company they work for to fully understand the vulnerabilities of their organization. This can be a challenge for some folks to do before taking on a solution like Nucleus. This isn't a criticism of Nucleus but there is a step in the process to ensure you get the most out of the platform. **What problems is Nucleus solving and how is that benefiting you?** Vulns are everywhere! In your servers, desktops, tablets, phones, applications, SDLC...everywhere! It's easy to use Nucleus to pull all those vulnerabilities together and make sense of them. This gives you the ability to patch and remediate the issues that are really affecting your organization in a thoughtful manner and not just patching everything in site (which is impossible to do). ### 6. Vulnerability Management has never been easier! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Julian J. | Vulnerability Analyst II, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 23, 2022 **What do you like best about Nucleus?** The Nucleus Automation Engine makes VM workflows seamless. You can "set and forget" your automation rules, and as new data comes in, they are triggered with no manual intervention required. You can sync assets, ingest vulns, process assets/vulns, notify users and teams through tickets and reports, as well as remove/ignore assets, all automatically! The ability to use regular expressions makes it easy to find common and seemingly uncommon patterns within vulnerability and asset names, allowing you to assign items to different teams through the Automation Engine. Without regex, dynamic variables, and the Automation Engine, most of these processes would be manual, which is why Nucleus is the best tool for the job. **What do you dislike about Nucleus?** Out of the box, Nucleus requires a fair amount of setup to create seamless VM workflows. My time spent in the PoC phase was spent learning the ins and outs of the tool, as well as figuring out if our asset/vuln data sources were compatible with Nucleus' connectors. There are connections that are not compatible due to our companies configuration of certain tools. **What problems is Nucleus solving and how is that benefiting you?** Nucleus has helped out a lot with asset deduplication and parsing of data sources. This helps us ingest new data to our Projects, as well as identify assets that need cleaning up in our own tools. ### 7. Useful tool for a centralized view of vulnerabilities and compliance, some issues with large updates **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Airlines/Aviation | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 27, 2022 **What do you like best about Nucleus?** The data is very indexed through multiple indexes (axis) making it easy for everyone involved to find their details in a manner that is useful to them. The initial learning curve on how data is organized can take a moment to learn, but once understood is very powerful. Details pulled in alongside reported vulnerabilities and of course the cyber risk score makes it more than just an aggregated dashboard. **What do you dislike about Nucleus?** The updates seem to take a long processing time, during which time the project dashboard can be inaccurate (more than once, users have seen a "zero" risk score when that isn't the case). **What problems is Nucleus solving and how is that benefiting you?** Centralized view of vulnerabilities from multiple scanning sources, easily pivoted by the asset owner, role, etc. Adding the cyber risk score and allowing our prioritization makes it easy for DevOps teams to just focus on "number one" within their span of care. ### 8. Prioritizing risk into bite size pieces has been a game changer. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Kate B. | Vulnerability Management Engineer, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 21, 2022 **What do you like best about Nucleus?** The ability I have to allow different patching teams access to the information that will make the greatest impact with the work that they are doing has been a great experience. The customization in the UI to allow me to do just that is something I have not had experience within other Vulnerability Management tools I have used in the past. **What do you dislike about Nucleus?** I would like a bit more ability to customize the reporting that I am providing to my Senior Leadership Teams. The out-of-the-box reports are useful, but I would love the freedom to slice and dice the information a bit more to my liking. **What problems is Nucleus solving and how is that benefiting you?** I am able to put a laser focus on EOL applications as well as give my teams insight into where their efforts are showing the most impact on reducing the risk to our Enterprise. ### 9. Nucleus is incredibly easy to use. The interface is clean with best user experience!. **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Natty Pradeep N. | Software Engineer, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 27, 2022 **What do you like best about Nucleus?** The nucleus dashboard is best, one place for the overall picture!. Easy to download the stats from the dashboard. The project filtering option is very useful to filter the projects. **What do you dislike about Nucleus?** Assets vulnerabilities filtering is a little tedious. currently, this is being worked on to resolve these issues. High risks are not sorted at the top, little difficult to segregate the different environments for the same project!. **Recommendations to others considering Nucleus:** Asset filtering needs to be improvised. **What problems is Nucleus solving and how is that benefiting you?** Clean Dashboard which is helping us to get a clear picture of the vulnerabilities with respect to high medium, and low vulnerabilities. Impressive dashboard which helps the entire organization. ### 10. How Nucleus has helped us **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jason Z. | Manager of Vulnerability Management, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 28, 2022 **What do you like best about Nucleus?** After using several systems in the past, we have found that the layout in Nucleus is one of the best. The interface is clean and easy to use not only for us, but our users. **What do you dislike about Nucleus?** Reporting. Each time we run a report, it feels like to many steps. Nucleus should have several templates already set up to use, such as total vulns, how many are fixed, etc. Users and leadership want reports and they will not login to review the data. **What problems is Nucleus solving and how is that benefiting you?** Tracking of remediation within our SLA. For us, Nucleus is about showing vulns in a way that users can remediate quickly. The 'out of the box' risk score has helped a lot in prioritization. ### 11. Nice dashboard; needs work on roll-up / drill-down stats **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Aviation & Aerospace | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 27, 2022 **What do you like best about Nucleus?** I like a dashboard with a single view of my security scans so I can prioritize them correctly. The number of acceptable sources of data is sufficient as well. The way it is represented makes sense **What do you dislike about Nucleus?** When I click to drill down to a specific metric, the data does not always match. It might be the problem with data setup, but instinctively when you drill down / roll up, the data should match **Recommendations to others considering Nucleus:** Make sure data matches on all levels **What problems is Nucleus solving and how is that benefiting you?** We have many different security / vulnerability scan packages and Nucleus brings to visualization part together and allows us easily to see which items are high / medium / low priority. ### 12. Great Vulnerability Management Workflow **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Hospital & Health Care | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 06, 2022 **What do you like best about Nucleus?** I loved the idea of ingesting multiple vulnerability sources and asset management data into one place and then managing assignments via ticketing workflow and automation. I feel like this solution works perfectly with other security products following the loosely coupled, tightly integrated approach. **What do you dislike about Nucleus?** The user interface was a bit clunky at times. I feel like a native html/js/css approach would work better. We also used a ticketing system that wasn't supported by Nucleus directly so I had to make adaptations by using email and webhooks. **Recommendations to others considering Nucleus:** Absolutely give it a try and integrate it with an asset scanner like Rumble Network Discovery. **What problems is Nucleus solving and how is that benefiting you?** I love my vulnerability scanners but it's difficult to assign issues to team members and track vulns as issues via ticket with accountability. The interface also had great analytics. ### 13. Highly recommended **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** zhe x. | Software Engineer, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 27, 2022 **What do you like best about Nucleus?** user friendly dashboard & easy way to schedule a report run **What do you dislike about Nucleus?** it would be better if Nucleus can allow customized 'product' selected and scheudled into a periodic report. Don't know how the risk point(score) been calculated. **Recommendations to others considering Nucleus:** To connect to our Azure VMs for Vulnerability check future **What problems is Nucleus solving and how is that benefiting you?** our Org use Nucleus to monitor the Vulnerability risk, which give us visual risk level(score) we are at. ### 14. PATCH Monitoring Alert System **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Seshu A. | Network Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 22, 2022 **What do you like best about Nucleus?** Predefined Templates for the Projects and solutions for Remediations are good **What do you dislike about Nucleus?** Buttons for the Updating the Triggered issue, Need to more customized way,or user friendly **Recommendations to others considering Nucleus:** MORE Customized way, in terms of Patch Management, Alerts, Reports need to be more Precise **What problems is Nucleus solving and how is that benefiting you?** Patch Monitoring ### 15. Ahead of the curve, unique, and unfortunately, very unreliable. **Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer & Network Security | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 05, 2022 **What do you like best about Nucleus?** Nucleus fills a role that we were specifically looking to fill: it factors asset criticality and compliance scope into risk scoring, and it does it in a way that's scalable, because it can be accomplished via automation, bulk actions, or API. More of our clients have decided to use Nucleus for this feature than anything else the tool does. It ensures people are spending time where it matters, and coming from someone who has POC'd almost every similar tool in this space, I'm confident Nucleus is the only tool that's doing it well. The team behind the tool is friendly, knowledgable, and helpful; I've enjoyed nearly every interaction I've had with them. **What do you dislike about Nucleus?** It's in the title. The product is unreliable. The platform is buggy, and in the opinion of most of the people I work with that use Nucleus regularly, this has gotten worse over time, not better. The new features are nice, but a working product is nicer. For that matter, reporting has been given no attention at all so far as I've seen. At present, I think most of the reports Nucleus produces range from poor to unusable. I wish less attention was paid to visual improvements and feature enhancements over the last year, and more attention was paid to stabilizing the foundational aspects of the tool, because those are the aspects that made us decide to use it in the first place. Ambitious goals are hindered by a team that's too deep in the trenches to follow through on commitments, and too focused on improvement to stabilize the foundational aspects of the platform. **Recommendations to others considering Nucleus:** Use the tool for risk classification, use something else for report creation. **What problems is Nucleus solving and how is that benefiting you?** Vulnerability management, workflow automation, asset prioritization, automated vulnerability notification criteria, automated vulnerability ticketing integrations, and team coordination. Nucleus has assisted with each of these with varying degrees of success. Asset prioritization moreso than anything else I mentioned. Team coordination less than anything else, because nearly 1/3 of our clients using the platform have decided not to use the tool at all after experiencing issues that frustrated them. For them, it's almost exclusively a tool for automated reporting. **Official Response from Adam Dudley:** > Thank you for your honest review. As a customer and product-focused company, delivering a high-quality user experience is of the utmost importance to us. While we appreciate the acknowledgment of your positive interactions with our team, we regret that your experience with the platform has been less than excellent. Rest assured, we are acutely aware of the issues you've encountered and have been taking action in recent months to address them. For example, in addition to our product team being laser-focused on delivering stable, performant software, last year we doubled the size of our software and support engineering teams and are likely to triple them this year. We want you to know that we take your comments very seriously and that everyone on the team here is committed to building the best product and making you and all our customers successful. Our customer success team will continue working with you to ensure we understand the challenges and come to an agreement on solutions. ### 16.
