Find out in this report how the two Risk-Based Vulnerability Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature for us is the different types of reporting it provides."
"It is stable and scalable."
"The solution works well."
"When you connect any new device to the network, Rapid7 has the ability to detect the new device immediately. It can scan that device to detect if it has any vulnerability. It tells you what is vulnerable and what has been misconfigured. It also tells you what is the risk of that misconfiguration or lack of patches and how to resolve the problem."
"It's very scalable."
"It's a relevant management tool."
"InsightVM's most valuable feature is risk scoring, a formula based on different vectors like the ease of exploitation and the availability of the machine."
"The cost is what is most valuable. Compared to the other products on the market, the cost is more palatable."
"Support is knowledgeable."
"The solution is very intuitive and the dashboards are simple to use."
"The most valuable features of Tenable SC are the reports and the dashboards."
"Initial setup was pretty straightforward."
"We use Tenable to scan all of our environments and plugins for vulnerabilities. Tenable helps us discover network vulnerabilities to threats and piracy."
"Tenable.sc's best features are the availability model, accident management, and scoring."
"This solution has a much lower rate of false positives compared to competing products."
"The usability is really good. It's very easy to use and a good platform. It is scalable and very stable. The technical support is fine and the setup is super easy."
"The authentication scan is not working."
"Rapid7 InsightVM could be easier to use for those who are using it for the first time."
"The InsightVM cannot scan if we connect to our customer by the VPN."
"We found that after you passed an endpoint, it didn't always reflect it in the next scan. I'm not sure if it was a glitch or some issue with the product's software. That was never clear. That was always an issue and something that definitely needed improvement."
"There is room for improvement on its cloud side. In the next release I would like to see better reporting."
"There are certain limitations because of the product being used on a hybrid model. Rapid7 InsightVM doesn't offer a solution purely in the cloud."
"A definite improvement would be to make it easier to run ad-hoc scans without needing to assign the asset to a site or group."
"InsightVM is getting a little stale and is in danger of falling behind its competitors."
"The vulnerability scan does not work correctly until the access privileges are set by the system administrator."
"Its reporting can be improved. It is not easy to generate a scan report the way we want. The data is okay, but we can't easily change the template to make it look the way we want."
"Deploying Tenable.sc is highly complex because it's an on-prem solution, whereas Tenable.io is cloud-based, so you can go live as soon as you log in. Tenable.sc involves significant integration with other on-prem solutions, and the deployment takes about two to three weeks with the help of a system integrator"
"We experienced some difficulties with the solution’s support."
"Tenable SC can improve by making it easier to create complicated reports and have more effectiveness in the remediation area for comparison between the scans."
"The solution's user interface has some issues."
"The web application scanning area can be improved."
"Tenable SC can improve by adding more integrations with HCI-type tools and more accurate vulnerability detection."
