Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Tenable is the leading product for vulnerability scanning.""Their overall cost of service is pretty good.""Very customizable with a lot of templates.""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.""Tenable's most valuable features are the credential scan, vulnerability reports, and vulnerability ratings (VPR).""Compliance and vulnerability scans are most valuable. Compliance scan helps in validating how our teams are complying, and vulnerability scan helps in future-proofing. Its vulnerability detection is accurate.""Support is knowledgeable.""What is useful to me is being able to fulfill very customized scanning policies. In the clinical environment, because of vendor control, we can't perform credential-vulnerability scanning. And network scans, which I've done before, can cause a lot of impact. Being able to create very customized policies to be able to routinely scan and audit our clinical networks, while simultaneously not causing impact, is important to us."

"This secure connection allows users to connect to the Zscaler VPN and access the resources on the office network, making it a highly valuable component of our system.""The most valuable feature is its seamless integration capabilities, streamlining the process by eliminating the need for extensive installations.""The agent's versatility is notable, used for digital experience monitoring to collect valuable endpoint metrics for troubleshooting.""The product provides a seamless user experience."

Cons
"The solution should provide better web application features and support.""The web application is not very functional.""Certain aspects require manual effort, such as exporting and analyzing data for our dashboards. The built-in components of the Tenable solution are somewhat clumsy that require external tools. So, this is an area of improvement.""It's good at creating information, it's good creating dashboards, it's good at creating reports, but if you want to take that reporting metadata and put it into another tool, that is a little bit lacking.""Current web page needs improvement, slows down processes.""The solution should include compliance-based scanning.""We experienced some difficulties with the solution’s support.""I will say it's a lot slower compared to an MS scan. It takes so much longer, so the performance could definitely be worked on."

More Tenable Security Center Cons →

"Having a Zscaler-specific device could streamline this process and provide a more consistent user experience across diverse branches.""Occasionally, issues arise in the LogStack by a third party, particularly for government websites accessed by numerous users.""Occasionally, there are certain delays in report generation.""The product is not reliable."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "It is slightly more expensive than other solutions in the same sphere."
  • "We're able to save because we don't have to employ more staff members to help wit ht he scheduling of the scans, running the reports or sending them out to the systems owners. That alone is a big ROI for us."
  • "The licensing costs for this solution are approximately $100,000 US, and I think that covers everything."
  • "The pricing is more than Nexpose."
  • "Costing is pretty reasonable compared to the competition."
  • "We're a Fortune 500 company... our licensing costs [are] in the seven figures."
  • "We pay around 60,000 on a yearly basis."
  • "The price can start at €10,000 ($13,000 USD) for between 500 and 1,000 assets, and the price can climb into the millions as more assets are added."
