Find out what your peers are saying about Tenable, Qualys, Rapid7 and others in Risk-Based Vulnerability Management."The solution works well."
"The cost is what is most valuable. Compared to the other products on the market, the cost is more palatable."
"The most valuable feature for us is the different types of reporting it provides."
"The solution is good because it has a lot of options."
"We are very satisfied with the reports, as they provide us with the information that is required for our management."
"I rate InsightVM eight out of 10 for ease of setup. It takes two or three engineers to deploy. The solution requires some maintenance. It's mainly cleaning up data."
"Rapid7 InsightVM has given us a practical view of the vulnerabilities present in our organization."
"Has great reporting features."
"The data visualization piece is most valuable. We do ad-hoc analysis or one-time shot things, but there are things that we have to track every single day. When our management and our customers want to see how things are changing, the dashboarding provides that information. Tableau is key in providing that data on a refresh basis. We use a data blending tool that pumps the data into Tableau, and we just schedule it to run every single day. So, the automation of the data and being able to present it to people who are interested are the most valuable features."
"Gradual scalability from simple to complex situations"
"The feature that is currently most valuable is the import feature where I can link to an Excel data source. I'm not using it with any other data source, such as SQL Server. I directly link it to an Excel sheet, and if I change anything in that Excel sheet, the changed data immediately gets reflected in the virtualization. This is something that is very convenient for me as of now."
"Tableau has many different connectors for different databases. It's very easy to connect to MySQL, SQL Server, Amazon EMR, Presto, Redshift, BigQuery, and so on."
"Easy for beginners to use"
"It's the ease of use. It is also a self-service tool so it decreases the burden on having centralized IT-type teams or developers."
"I have found many of the self-service features valuable."
"The most important feature in Tableau is visual analytics."
"I would say that it improved our visibility, but it left things open."
"Within InsightVM, there is no feature to assign a ticket. If we can have more API calls, we can do that from InsightVM."
"I would like to see more integration."
"InsightVM could be improved by providing passive scanning as an option."
"Some of our customers want to be completely cloud based, and Rapid7 doesn't offer this as an option."
"Rapid7 could be easier to manage."
"The solution should include a tighter integration with third-party threat modeling and threat intelligence tools."
"The InsightVM cannot scan if we connect to our customer by the VPN."
"When it comes to large datasets, the data should be extracted faster."
"I am not a frequent user of this solution, so I am not sure what they've been doing recently. The last time when I used it, I had to use other tools with it for data extraction and cleansing. Its price should also be improved. It is more expensive than Power BI. In terms of training, there is generally better online training for Power BI, but I am not sure of that. It would be helpful to know from where to access its training."
"From a downside perspective, some of the more advanced modeling techniques are actually fairly difficult to do. In addition, I just fundamentally disagree with the way you have to implement them because you can get incorrect answers in some cases."
"There should be stronger data modules for the platform."
"Many things have to be improved in Tableau. Right now, we make the calculation, and then we get that information. It would be better if business users could do that. I would ask the people at Tableau to provide that option to business users to get that information in one click. It would be better if they automated some calculations. There should be more automation in Tableau. However, there are many things in automation mode, but it is very limited at the moment. We need automation for people who do not know much about Tableau. It would also be better if there were good community support like in Alteryx."
"Provide additional enhancements in any business process: Operations, Marketing and Sales, Finance, Human Resources, Logistics, etc."
"Formatting controls could use some improvement."
"I would like them to include the Italian language, as I can see there are other foreign language in the product."
