"The solution is one of the most, if not the most, stable product available."
"The most valuable features of Tenable SC are scanning, reporting, dashboards, and automation."
"Tenable's most valuable features are the credential scan, vulnerability reports, and vulnerability ratings (VPR)."
"The initial setup process is simple."
"The most valuable features in Tenable SC are scanning and analysis."
"The solution is completely stable and operation is user-friendly."
"Tenable also helps us to focus resources on the vulnerabilities that are most likely to be exploited. And since it is continuously updated, it allows us to reevaluate quickly if there are new vulnerabilities found..."
"The solution is very intuitive and the dashboards are simple to use."
"The interface is fine."
"The integration of Tenable into our security ecosystem was very good."
"The most valuable feature for me is container scanning because I am interested in CICD security."
"The solution is very simple to use."
"The solution is easy to use and configuration is smooth with no complexities."
"The initial setup is straightforward so long as your infrastructure, components, and networks are in place."
"One of the most valuable features of Tenable.io Vulnerability Management is its exportability, which allows us to conduct risk assessments efficiently."
"The initial setup is mostly straightforward."
"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."
"At times we have had the typical bugs."
"Support could be faster."
"The tool's initial configuration is not so easy."
"The solution should provide better web application features and support."
"The solution should include compliance-based scanning."
"There's a lot of information being streamed out of the reports. What would be nice, and maybe we just haven't found it, would be more of an executive-type view. We still expect it to collect all this information, but we would like a feature that would allow us to show it to an executive or a director or someone like that and give them some type of high-level overview but not get into the nitty-gritty."
"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."
"They've been able to think about everything in terms of where the world is going and the type of assets that you've got. They've everything sorted out in that aspect, but you have to pay for most of the other components that they've got to give you complete visibility across your tech surface. If it already had those capabilities in-built, without having to add them on to take advantage of them, it would be a very compelling value proposition."
"The solution must be promoted more in the market."
"We'd like to see a bit more user-friendliness."
"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 solution must provide penetration testing."
"The only drawback of the solution is that it is expensive."
"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."
"Users get confused between VPR and CVSS ratings."
