Cons
"An improvement would be some sort of an integration with any GRC suite."

More Cisco Vulnerability Management (formerly Kenna.VM) Cons →

"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 stability has room for improvement.""The one drawback that we have found is the reports.""I'd like to see them improve their support.""The solution must provide penetration testing.""The reporting was never great in Tenable Vulnerability Management, so, in my company, we imported all the data into Ivanti RiskSense to start using it for reporting.""The solution seems to focus too much on enterprises, and they really need a product that works for SMBs.""Tenable could improve visibility into assets, including automated asset tagging. You should be able to automatically tag assets based on location, function, ownership, etc. That would help us because we spend a lot of time identifying and tagging assets by hand."
