Find out in this report how the two Risk-Based Vulnerability Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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."
"The solution works well."
"We feel the interface is very good. It is very easy to use, even a nontechnical person can use it."
"The solution is good because it has a lot of options."
"The discovery and prioritization of vulnerabilities."
"Rapid7 have a good distribution network with good support and market presence."
"When you connect any new device to the network, Rapid7 has the ability to detect the new device immediately. It can scan that device to detect if it has any vulnerability. It tells you what is vulnerable and what has been misconfigured. It also tells you what is the risk of that misconfiguration or lack of patches and how to resolve the problem."
"The assessment is most valuable."
"I think that this is a good solution for evaluating vulnerability in the network."
"Tenable.sc's best features are the availability model, accident management, and scoring."
"Tenable SC's most valuable features are the low number of false positives and the strong capability of providing prioritization for the vulnerabilities detected."
"The tool's dashboard and reporting capabilities match our company's needs since we are able to modify the basic view to create a new dashboard, and it works out very well for our needs."
"Feature-wise, Tenable Security Center is a very fast tool with many dashboards and reports, and it covers all our systems."
"Has a great advanced scanning feature."
"It is a very good and user-friendly product."
"What is useful to me is being able to fulfill very customized scanning policies. In the clinical environment, because of vendor control, we can't perform credential-vulnerability scanning. And network scans, which I've done before, can cause a lot of impact. Being able to create very customized policies to be able to routinely scan and audit our clinical networks, while simultaneously not causing impact, is important to us."
"There should be containerization within the VM."
"Some of our customers want to be completely cloud based, and Rapid7 doesn't offer this as an option."
"We'd like the agent to cover more compliance issues."
"This solution creates false-positives which can cause issues with reporting."
"There is room for improvement on its cloud side. In the next release I would like to see better reporting."
"The InsightVM cannot scan if we connect to our customer by the VPN."
"The reporting has room for improvement. You cannot customize any report. If I need a specific requirement, I have to create a new report for it."
"The authentication scan is not working."
"We are facing some challenges related to our channel."
"Current web page needs improvement, slows down processes."
"It's good at creating information, it's good creating dashboards, it's good at creating reports, but if you want to take that reporting metadata and put it into another tool, that is a little bit lacking."
"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."
"The solution should provide better web application features and support."
"The product could be user-friendly, and they could enhance the web application's security features."
"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."
"Additional costs are associated with using the solution, as additional scanners are required for different endpoints connected to the Tenable Security Center. If Tenable Security Center could extract information from these scanners automatically rather than manually, it would enhance user-friendliness for customers."
