"The comprehensive security for IaaS and PaaS cloud assets provides efficient security awareness to all the teams."
"It is easy to administer and easy to deploy. It has automated or pre-configured templates, security features, and proactive threat detection."
"The feature that I find most valuable is the blocking feature."
"It provides critical insights that enable the IT team to plan and launch smart investigations when there are security breaches."
"We really liked its ease of implementation against our Microsoft Azure environment."
"The most valuable feature is posture management, which gives you complete visibility of all your assets in the cloud and allows you to do governance and compliance."
"The reporting is quite good. It is the most powerful aspect of this solution."
"Helps identify and correct misconfigurations in cloud environments, ensuring that infrastructure and applications are secure and optimized."
"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."
"The initial setup process is simple."
"The predictive prioritization features are pretty good. They do a lot of research and we trust the research that they do internally. They have knowledge of what's going on with many companies, where we only get a view into what's going on here. So the ability to get best practices out of them as part of this solution, is valuable to us."
"We use Tenable to scan all of our environments and plugins for vulnerabilities. Tenable helps us discover network vulnerabilities to threats and piracy."
"Has a great advanced scanning feature."
"Their overall cost of service is pretty good."
"Tenable's most valuable features are the credential scan, vulnerability reports, and vulnerability ratings (VPR)."
"The solution is one of the most, if not the most, stable product available."
"Currently, I would like this solution extended to cellular devices or tablets."
"We were demotivated by the lack of native automation modules for the Terraform and Ansible tools."
"I am not a technical person, but generically, the user interface can be a little more intuitive. Our staff has trained network security and cloud security professionals, and they get it, but when you are trying to get to the customers to be able to pick it up and maintain it, it can be a bit difficult."
"CloudGuard could be more customizable. It has built-in standards for things like GDPR compliance. But depending on your business lane, you might want to build your own controls based on your own standards."
"Streamlining the user interface would greatly improve the user experience."
"Their service needs improvement."
"The Check Point Infinity admin portal sometimes freezes."
"I would like to see Test B functions at the application access level."
"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."
"The reporting needs a lot of work on the template."
"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 vulnerability scan does not work correctly until the access privileges are set by the system administrator."
"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."
"We experienced some difficulties with the solution’s support."
"In terms of configuration, there is some level of flexibility that we are not able to achieve."
"Tenable has some problems with agents going offline during scanning and lag between agents and the security center."
