"Their overall cost of service is pretty good."
"The initial setup process is simple."
"Tenable.sc is user-friendly."
"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."
"Very customizable with a lot of templates."
"Has a great advanced scanning feature."
"Initial setup was pretty straightforward."
