More Cisco Vulnerability Management (formerly Kenna.VM) Cons →

"The solution seems to focus too much on enterprises, and they really need a product that works for SMBs.""The solution must be promoted more in the market.""The price could be lower.""The reporting was never great in Tenable Vulnerability Management, so, in my company, we imported all the data into Ivanti RiskSense to start using it for reporting.""The initial setup is complex and has room for improvement.""The solution must provide penetration testing.""I would like the solution to cover the whole cycle of mitigation since it's an area where the solution currently lacks.""Another area of improvement is customer service and support. Tenable needs to include support in the pricing/license. Currently, they push clients to get support from partners or channel distributors, who often charge a lot."
