Find out what your peers are saying about Tenable, Qualys, Rapid7 and others in Risk-Based Vulnerability Management."The solution is good because it has a lot of options."
"The most valuable feature for us is the different types of reporting it provides."
"The most important aspect of the solution is that it rarely gives false positives, especially compared to other products. It provides very clear reports for our IT teams to look at."
"This solution's most useful feature is that it is entirely a single-page application."
"The remediation project is a pretty effective because it allows us, as clients or countries, to choose specific assets and set limitations on them for a certain period which allows us to track and follow up on those limitations. However, when it comes to real-time monitoring and live dashboards, InsightVM doesn't quite fit the bill. It's not a real-time solution and is not instant."
"Rapid7 have a good distribution network with good support and market presence."
"The product's initial setup phase was very easy."
"The most valuable features are its reporting capabilities and the host discovery functionality."
"The most valuable feature is the 3D charting."
"Tableau is very flexible and easy to learn. It has drag-and-drop function analytics, and its design is very good. It is a very good tool, and it basically brings life into data with good design. We have been creating a lot of interactive visualizations and dashboards. It has a public version. There are public communities from where you can get a lot of examples for practice."
"I love the customization skills that Tableau has, it is not restricted to what is built-in already."
"The most valuable feature is the user experience."
"We frequently utilize visualizations using maps and different objects, all with rich coloring options. And tooltips are absolutely essential for us. Tooltips, like the pop-up descriptions when you hover over some object or graph. Those tooltips in Tableau are great features."
"Tableau is easy to use."
"From my perspective, it enables clients to better understand our data and make better decisions based on that information."
"The solution is being delivered to our customer, who appreciates the insights generated from the reports. It is easy for them to drill into the details and use interactive charts."
"Some difficulties with the online reporting and lack of integrations."
"Rapid7 could be easier to manage."
"InsightVM is getting a little stale and is in danger of falling behind its competitors."
"The solution could improve by being more secure."
"In terms of improvements, its price could be better. Our main issue with Rapid7 is that it is too expensive. You can only sell it to enterprise accounts. In terms of new features, Rapid7 came up with a product called InsightIDR a couple of years ago, which is a good SIEM solution. We expect that Rapid7 will work on some sort of integration between InsightVM and InsightIDR, where vulnerability or anomaly detected by InsightVM can be reported in InsightIDR in some sort of real-time. Rapid7 doesn't patch. For example, if you have a vulnerability, some products can scan and also do the patching, but Rapid7 does not do the patching. It would be nice if it can also patch."
"The product does not have the capability to do dynamic scanning of non-web applications."
"It would be great to have a mobile application client. Currently, you have to use a mobile web browser on a device, but it is not similar to the desktop web browser in terms of user experience. It would be nice to have a mobile application to access the platform."
"The drawback is that it is still not a fully SaaS solution, so you must deploy a console."
"The cost of owning the solutions from Tableau is much higher compared to any other analytical solutions."
"The solution could use more features in data analytics."
"It needs a little bit more advanced modeling. I would like to see functionality like Cognos has in the Framework Manager."
"The architecture should be improved to better handle the data."
"The customization requires a lot of effort and should be simplified. The performance could be better."
"I don't have the ability in Tableau to create a tooltip and see the picture of a piece of jewelry or watch that is a best seller."
"People are migrating to Microsoft BI due to the speed, which is quite slow to load, and the lack of visualization options."
"The solution does have scalability issues."
