Find out in this report how the two Vulnerability Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It can be integrated with a vulnerability management solution. When a client comes, apart from pitching network and firewall change management, we are recommending having vulnerability management. So, rather than just having the audit of the firewall, they can integrate it with their vulnerability management solution, which could be Rapid7, Qualys, or any other solution. This provides them the most value out of the platform. That is the way we are approaching our customer base."
"It has a good policy management feature and can provide customers with good quality outputs."
"The most valuable features are the rule compliance and the OS vulnerability checks."
"The port division management was the solution's most valuable aspect for our organization."
"The features that I have found most valuable with Skybox Security Suite, and this is because I work on the security side, are the firewall assurance, the change manager and the vulnerability control. These three features are the most impressive from Skybox Security."
"We are currently working on rule review and compliance. The logging features are good."
"The solution's simplicity of use is its most valuable feature."
"Correlates logs and threats and prioritizes; provides network maps;p provides change result context and resulting vulnerability."
"Tenable.sc's best features are the availability model, accident management, and scoring."
"We really love the Security Center dashboard. It basically performs vulnerability scanning and then outputs a vulnerability data."
"The most important features are the dashboard and reporting. The dashboard provides statistics with graphs and bar charts for our management."
"The predictive prioritization features are pretty good. They do a lot of research and we trust the research that they do internally. They have knowledge of what's going on with many companies, where we only get a view into what's going on here. So the ability to get best practices out of them as part of this solution, is valuable to us."
"Feature-wise, Tenable Security Center is a very fast tool with many dashboards and reports, and it covers all our systems."
"The most valuable features in Tenable SC are scanning and analysis."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the vulnerability assessment."
"This product has the best results in terms of the lowest number of false-positives and false-negatives."
"Reporting. A lot of the reports, out of the box, are limited to a certain number of either configuration violations or access rule violations. So when you first set up a new firewall to be monitored by Skybox, you don't get a real full report. You have to really tweak it to get everything."
"There is room for improvement in the technical support."
"The solution needs improvement in firewall configuration checks. I would also like to see more configuration checks for Forcepoint and for other non-supported firewalls."
"It's expensive."
"The solution needs to add more automation and orchestration capabilities. Those features would make the solution much stronger."
"They are not satisfied with the complexity of the solution and the price."
"Skybox Security Suite's attack surface management feature needs improvement."
"The initial setup with Skybox Security is hard. You need one or two strong security engineers on your team."
"Tenable SC could be improved with additional connectivity to external company postures and the capability of managing and sustaining agents in the systems directly without additional platforms in the middle."
"Though the solution's technical support is responsive, they do take a lot of time, making it one of the solution's shortcomings that needs improvement."
"I think the vendor training provided for Tenable.sc could be a lower price. It's quite expensive for the training."
"The pricing is reasonable, but this could be brought down more aggressively, such as we see with Rapid7, Tenable SC's main competitor."
"We experienced some difficulties with the solution’s support."
"If I want to have a very low-managed scan policy, it's a lot of work to create something which is very basic. If I use a tool like Nmap, all I have to do is download it, install it, type in the command, and it's good to go. In Security Center, I have to go through a lot of work to create a policy that's very basic."
"In terms of configuration, there is some level of flexibility that we are not able to achieve."
"The vulnerability scan does not work correctly until the access privileges are set by the system administrator."
