"I think that this is a good solution for evaluating vulnerability in the network."
"Very customizable with a lot of templates."
"Has a great advanced scanning feature."
"Tenable.sc is user-friendly."
"Tenable Security Center scans networks and gives reports."
"We use Tenable to scan all of our environments and plugins for vulnerabilities. Tenable helps us discover network vulnerabilities to threats and piracy."
"The most valuable feature of the product is the Assurance Report Card, which gives us an overview of the security poster in just a simple glance."
"Tenable's most valuable features are the credential scan, vulnerability reports, and vulnerability ratings (VPR)."
"It is pretty stable. I would rate it nine or maybe ten."
"The tool has an easy-to-use interface."
"They are on a good trajectory as a company and investing in R&D in the right ways."
"Tenable.io, in particular, is quite a powerful product. It looks at your traditional environment, which is pretty much anything that is on-premises, and it also goes a step ahead and covers your modern assets, which is anything that is currently sitting in the cloud. You get complete visibility of your entire environment and tech operation. The ability to give you visibility across the entire tech surface is one of the biggest advantages that Tenable.io has."
"The solution creates vulnerability tickets within the VM profile but should also include them under the Remediation tab so the fixes can be viewed in the ticketing queue."
"The vulnerability scanning is the most important aspect of the solution for us."
"Tenable.io Vulnerability Management is an easy-to-use product. I"
"One of the most valuable features of Tenable.io Vulnerability Management is its exportability, which allows us to conduct risk assessments efficiently."
"We are facing some challenges related to our channel."
"The solution needs to improve its support. I would like to see a bird's eye view of my network architecture. I would also like to see the continuous view feature in the tool."
"The vulnerability scan does not work correctly until the access privileges are set by the system administrator."
"Tenable SC could improve by making the creation of the initial reports easier that correspond to our network."
"The solution should include compliance-based scanning."
"The GUI could be improved to have all concerns and priorities use the same GUI, allowing them to see all tickets, assign vulnerabilities, and assign variation failures to each member of their team."
"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."
"Tenable SC could be improved with additional connectivity to external company postures and the capability of managing and sustaining agents in the systems directly without additional platforms in the middle."
"The pricing of the solution could be more reasonable."
"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 product could be easier to set up on the cloud."
"There needs to be better dashboard navigation."
"The interface could be improved; right now it's running on two interfaces simultaneously."
"The UI has room for improvement."
"The shortcoming of the solution that needs improvement is related to its capability to do vulnerability assessments on applications."
"The solution seems to focus too much on enterprises, and they really need a product that works for SMBs."
