VulScan and Varaxon Scan Hub compared: a scanner and a report layer
VulScan scans networks. Varaxon Scan Hub turns results from the scanners you already run into ranked, client-ready reports. What each does and when to pick which.

People who search for VulScan are often looking for one of two things: a scanner for the networks they manage, or a faster way to turn scan results into something a client will read. Those are different jobs, and these two products each do one of them. This page sets out what each does, in plain terms, so you can tell which one you need. What we say about VulScan comes from its maker's public website, checked on 10 November 2026.
What VulScan is
VulScan is a vulnerability scanner from RapidFire Tools, part of Kaseya. Its maker describes internal and external network scanning with scanners you deploy on Docker, Hyper-V or VMware, optional discovery agents for Windows machines, hosted external scanners, a multi-tenant dashboard for managing many networks, ways to suppress repeating or false-positive findings, and automatic ticket creation in Autotask, BMS, ConnectWise and other PSAs. It produces its own reports by issue type and by device, trend reports and an executive summary. Pricing is by quote.
What Varaxon Scan Hub is
Varaxon Scan Hub does not scan anything. It takes the results from the scanner you already run and does the work that comes after the scan: it ranks every finding into six fixed priority bands using CISA KEV and EPSS, groups findings into fixes, writes a report under your brand with the scanner evidence behind every line, and says plainly where the scan could not see. It then follows each fix to its end: a reviewed ticket in HaloPSA or ConnectWise PSA, proof of fix from the next scan, or a risk the client has signed off.
It reads exports from Tenable Nessus, Qualys, Rapid7, Greenbone and OpenVAS, Nuclei and Burp Suite, and connects directly to Microsoft Defender and ConnectSecure. See the sample reports.

Which one do you need?
- You need a scanner, and you use Kaseya tools such as Autotask or BMS: VulScan is built for that, and its tickets go straight into those PSAs. Scan Hub is not a replacement for a scanner.
- You already scan, with one tool or several, and the report is the slow part: that is the job Scan Hub does. You keep your scanners.
- Different clients are on different scanners: Scan Hub gives every client the same report and the same priority bands whichever scanner produced the results.
- You need to show clients what to fix first and prove it was fixed: Scan Hub ranks by real-world exploitation, not severity alone, and shows proof of fix from the next scan.
Common questions
Is Varaxon Scan Hub a VulScan alternative?
Only for the reporting part. Scan Hub does not scan networks, so it cannot replace VulScan as a scanner. It is an alternative to VulScan's built-in reports if you scan with another tool and want ranked, client-ready reports from those results.
Does Scan Hub read VulScan exports?
VulScan is not one of the scanners Scan Hub reads natively today. Scan Hub can map CSV, XML and JSON files from other tools, and the free scan file checker shows what it can read from a file before you sign up.
Is Varaxon affiliated with RapidFire Tools or Kaseya?
No. VulScan is a product of RapidFire Tools. Varaxon Technologies is an independent company, and product names here are used only to describe the products.
