"Aruba is a highly scalable product. It just works. We have no issues with scalability."
"The most valuable features in Tenable SC are scanning and analysis."
"The tool provides us insight into the happens of the network and its hosts. It provides me with a list of hosts."
"Tenable's most valuable features are the credential scan, vulnerability reports, and vulnerability ratings (VPR)."
"The most valuable features of Tenable SC are scanning, reporting, dashboards, and automation."
"Compliance and vulnerability scans are most valuable. Compliance scan helps in validating how our teams are complying, and vulnerability scan helps in future-proofing. Its vulnerability detection is accurate."
"We use Tenable to scan all of our environments and plugins for vulnerabilities. Tenable helps us discover network vulnerabilities to threats and piracy."
"This solution has a much lower rate of false positives compared to competing products."
"I find Tenable SC to be a very scalable product."
"Aruba ClearPass could improve when it comes to troubleshooting, it can be difficult. Some advanced problems are difficult."
"Aruba needs to improve and the processes must be clear."
"There is room for improvement in the support."
"ClearPass' interface could be more user-friendly."
"TLS authentication onboarding in Aruba ClearPass needs to be improved. The biggest problem we've seen in our environment is Huawei not being able to get onto Google Play. No Huawei device can be onboarded via Aruba ClearPass easily."
"The user interface could be more polished and modern. It would be useful to have more options for automation."
"After HP, their support is the worst."
"Configuration should be more easy to understand between the link of two topics."
"Certain aspects require manual effort, such as exporting and analyzing data for our dashboards. The built-in components of the Tenable solution are somewhat clumsy that require external tools. So, this is an area of improvement."
"If I want to have a very low-managed scan policy, it's a lot of work to create something which is very basic. If I use a tool like Nmap, all I have to do is download it, install it, type in the command, and it's good to go. In Security Center, I have to go through a lot of work to create a policy that's very basic."
"The solution is expensive."
"The biggest issue I have with the solution is when I'm using the scanning it picks up the original DNS of that device. That means, before we image it and actually change the DNS to something within our company structure, it'll just be random numbers and letters and Tenable will stick to that DNS for a long time."
"Though the solution's technical support is responsive, they do take a lot of time, making it one of the solution's shortcomings that needs improvement."
"The web application is not very functional."
"Tenable SC could improve by making the creation of the initial reports easier that correspond to our network."
"We experienced some difficulties with the solution’s support."
