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 features are its reporting capabilities and the host discovery functionality."
"I really love the new platform. It is really easy to understand, use, and deploy."
"It is a stable solution."
"This solution's most useful feature is that it is entirely a single-page application."
"It's very scalable."
"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."
"The feature that I have found most valuable is its dashboards."
"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."
"Tenable SC's most valuable features are the low number of false positives and the strong capability of providing prioritization for the vulnerabilities detected."
"Tenable.sc's best features are the availability model, accident management, and scoring."
"Tenable Security Center scans networks and gives reports."
"It basically reviews our threat landscape vulnerability."
"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 tool's dashboard and reporting capabilities match our company's needs since we are able to modify the basic view to create a new dashboard, and it works out very well for our needs."
"The tool gives us fewer false positives. Compared to its competitors, the solution’s reports are more accurate."
"The initial setup process is simple."
"They should integrate the solution with multiple products."
"One area I would like to improve in InsightVM is its integration with other solutions."
"The reporting has room for improvement. You cannot customize any report. If I need a specific requirement, I have to create a new report for it."
"InsightVM is getting a little stale and is in danger of falling behind its competitors."
"I would like to see more integration."
"There needs to be much clearer instructions surrounding scanning."
"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."
"I would say that it improved our visibility, but it left things open."
"We are facing some challenges related to our channel."
"The vulnerability scan does not work correctly until the access privileges are set by the system administrator."
"The pricing is reasonable, but this could be brought down more aggressively, such as we see with Rapid7, Tenable SC's main competitor."
"The reporting side can be improved. The dashboards are nice, but exporting things out for reports for management was a little tough."
"Security can always be improved."
"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."
"There is not much room for improvement. However, there should be a guide that describes the step-by-step procedures for doing tasks. Otherwise, training is required from a senior guy to a junior guy."
"Tenable SC could improve by making the creation of the initial reports easier that correspond to our network."
