Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable feature is that it provides a simple English recommendation on actions that you need to take once a vulnerability is discovered.""The reporting features are good and there are many built-in reports that can be quickly configured.""It helped with some of the regulatory requirements. It also helped with some of the security analytics and analysis. It was worthwhile from that perspective."

"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 provides us insight into the happens of the network and its hosts. It provides me with a list of hosts.""Tenable.sc's best features are the availability model, accident management, and scoring.""Initial setup was pretty straightforward.""The solution is one of the most, if not the most, stable product available.""It's a very useful tool.""We use Tenable to scan all of our environments and plugins for vulnerabilities. Tenable helps us discover network vulnerabilities to threats and piracy.""The scanning part, the agent part – that's the valuable aspect."

Cons
"The interface could be improved by having sub-groups of tests, ultimately making the process of collecting tests faster.""Building policies is not that easy. There are some things that are turned off by default, for example, displaying values.""It was not as easy to use. The user-friendliness of it was somewhat lower than what I was expecting. It was also lacking in terms of the ease of the setup. There should be an automatic agent for deployment."

More IBM Guardium Vulnerability Assessment Cons →

"The solution is expensive.""At times we have had the typical bugs.""Support could be faster.""Tenable has some problems with agents going offline during scanning and lag between agents and the security center.""The reporting side can be improved. The dashboards are nice, but exporting things out for reports for management was a little tough.""I will say it's a lot slower compared to an MS scan. It takes so much longer, so the performance could definitely be worked on.""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.""Tenable.sc's user interface could be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "One thing not advantageous for it was that it was a little bit more expensive. I would rate it one out of five in terms of pricing."

  • "It is slightly more expensive than other solutions in the same sphere."
  • "We're able to save because we don't have to employ more staff members to help wit ht he scheduling of the scans, running the reports or sending them out to the systems owners. That alone is a big ROI for us."
  • "The licensing costs for this solution are approximately $100,000 US, and I think that covers everything."
  • "The pricing is more than Nexpose."
  • "Costing is pretty reasonable compared to the competition."
  • "We're a Fortune 500 company... our licensing costs [are] in the seven figures."
  • "We pay around 60,000 on a yearly basis."
  • "The price can start at €10,000 ($13,000 USD) for between 500 and 1,000 assets, and the price can climb into the millions as more assets are added."
