"All of the features are great."
"The solution is one of the most, if not the most, stable product available."
"It is a very good and user-friendly product."
"We use Tenable to scan all of our environments and plugins for vulnerabilities. Tenable helps us discover network vulnerabilities to threats and piracy."
"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 tool gives us fewer false positives. Compared to its competitors, the solution’s reports are more accurate."
"One of the most valuable features is their distributed scan model for allotting engines to work together as a pool and handle multiple scans at once, across multiple environments. Automatic scanning distribution is a distinguishing feature of their toolset."
"Initial setup was pretty straightforward."
"It basically reviews our threat landscape vulnerability."
"The solution is not very scalable, it does not provide any automation to be able to scale it."

"The solution should improve the responsiveness of its live technical support."
"It is necessary to add some training materials and a tutorial for beginners."
"There's a lot of information being streamed out of the reports. What would be nice, and maybe we just haven't found it, would be more of an executive-type view. We still expect it to collect all this information, but we would like a feature that would allow us to show it to an executive or a director or someone like that and give them some type of high-level overview but not get into the nitty-gritty."
"We are facing some challenges related to our channel."
"A good plugin editor would be a good additional option for the Security Center."
"The solution is expensive."
"The tool's initial configuration is not so easy."
"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 could improve by making the creation of the initial reports easier that correspond to our network."
"For downloading reports, we have to go to the scan and then we have to go to the reports and download the Excel or CSV or PDF. I think these menus and clicks can be minimized."
