Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Tenable.io, in particular, is quite a powerful product. It looks at your traditional environment, which is pretty much anything that is on-premises, and it also goes a step ahead and covers your modern assets, which is anything that is currently sitting in the cloud. You get complete visibility of your entire environment and tech operation. The ability to give you visibility across the entire tech surface is one of the biggest advantages that Tenable.io has.""The best feature of the solution is the amount of visibility it provides of the vulnerabilities.""I would rate Tenable's dashboards and reporting capabilities for illustrating security posture a nine out of ten, with ten being the best.""Technical support has been good. They respond quite quickly.""The solution provides seamlessness, a perfect UI, and identity management for office operations. We are most vulnerable to users. Therefore, it is crucial to implement the right solution to ensure proper user access and resource management.""Tenable.io Vulnerability Management is an easy-to-use product. I""The initial setup is mostly straightforward.""A new user can easily understand the workflow, even if they are creating users for other divisions and the user is a beginner."

"With Wiz, we get timely alerts for leaked data or any vulnerabilities already existing in our environment.""The security baseline and vulnerability assessments is the valuable feature.""The automation roles are essential because we ultimately want to do less work and automate more. The dashboards are easy to read and visually pleasing. You can understand things quickly, which makes it easy for our other teams. The network and infrastructure teams don't know as much about security as we do, so it helps to have a tool that's accessible and nice to look at.""Our most important features are those around entitlement, external exposure, vulnerabilities, and container security.""The first thing that stood out was the ease of installation and the quick value we got out of the solution.""The vulnerability management modules and the discovery and inventory are the most valuable features. Before using Wiz, it was a very manual process for both. After implementing it, we're able to get all of the analytics into a single platform that gives us visibility across all the systems in our cloud. We're able to correspond and understand what the vulnerability landscape looks like a lot faster.""Out of all the features, the one item that has been most valuable is the fact that Wiz puts into context all the pieces that create an issue, and applies a particular risk evaluation that helps us prioritize when we need to address a misconfiguration, vulnerability, or any issue that would put our environment into risk.""The CSPM module has been the most effective. It was easy to deploy and covered all our accounts through APIs, requiring no agents. Wiz provides instant visibility into high-level risks that we need to address."

Cons
"The product is a bit expensive.""The solution seems to focus too much on enterprises, and they really need a product that works for SMBs.""The initial setup is complex and has room for improvement.""There needs to be better dashboard navigation.""An area of improvement for this solution is being able to customize the dashboard. For example, the dashboard does not allow us to view a previous months vulnerability results alongside current results to make comparisons.""The interface could be improved; right now it's running on two interfaces simultaneously.""The user interface could be improved by being able to change the user interface to fit your position or your job. The graphs are set in stone and you can only print reports.""It's not a user-friendly tool since it has a complicated interface."

More Tenable Vulnerability Management Cons →

"The remediation workflow within the Wiz could be improved.""The only thing that needs to be improved is the number of scans per day.""Wiz's reporting capabilities could be refined a bit. They are making headway on that, but more executive-style dashboards would be nice. They just implemented a community aspect where you can share documents and feedback. This was something users had been requesting for a while. They are listening to customer feedback and making changes.""The solution's container security could be improved.""Given the level of visibility into all the cloud environments Wiz provides, it would be nice if they could integrate some kind of mechanism to better manage tenants on multiple platforms. For example, let's say that some servers don't have an application they need, such as an antivirus. Wiz could include an API or something to push those applications out to the servers. It would be great if you could remedy these issues directly from the Wiz platform.""One significant issue is that the searches are case-sensitive, so finding a misconfigured resource can become very challenging.""We wish there were a way, beyond providing visibility and automated remediation, to wait on a given remediation, due to a critical aspect, such as the cost associated with a particular upgrade... We would like to see preventive controls that can be applied through Wiz to protect against vulnerabilities that we're not going to be able to remediate immediately.""The only small pain point has been around some of the logging integrations. Some of the complexities of the script integrations aren't supported with some of the more automated infrastructure components. So, it's not as universal. For example, they have great support for cloud formation and other services, but if you're using another type of management utility or governance language for your infrastructure-as-code automation components, it becomes a little bit trickier to navigate that."
