"The most valuable feature is the installation of Tenable which is incredibly easy."
"I like the fact that it was not expensive. I like that it's user-friendly."
"The interface could be improved by having sub-groups of tests, ultimately making the process of collecting tests faster."
"It was not as easy to use. The user-friendliness of it was somewhat lower than what I was expecting. It was also lacking in terms of the ease of the setup. There should be an automatic agent for deployment."
"Building policies is not that easy. There are some things that are turned off by default, for example, displaying values."

Chinese companies are getting into the market here, and they're providing very cheap solutions."
"We'd like to see more integration potential within the solution."
"The report for counters is too simple and would be improved by a dashboard."
