Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"With its automated approach, nothing is missed on the IPs your organization is related to.""I rate the product's initial setup phase a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is a difficult setup phase, and ten is an easy setup process.""The solution helps identify our environment's vulnerabilities.""One of its most effective features for risk identification is its enterprise-ready automation for third-party risk measurements."

"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.""We use Tenable to scan all of our environments and plugins for vulnerabilities. Tenable helps us discover network vulnerabilities to threats and piracy.""The product is our second solution, and we are happy that it meets our requirements.""I think that this is a good solution for evaluating vulnerability in the network.""I like Tenable.sc's analytics and reporting. You can also configure your on-prem network monitors to talk to your Tenable.sc control panel.""The usability is really good. It's very easy to use and a good platform. It is scalable and very stable. The technical support is fine and the setup is super easy.""Has a great advanced scanning feature.""Tenable SC's most valuable features are the low number of false positives and the strong capability of providing prioritization for the vulnerabilities detected."

Cons
"There could be more information in regards to solving problems like hints on what specifically to look for.""They could improve the process with a questionnaire module for the product.""SecurityScorecard's technical team's response time is an area that my company expects to be made faster.""The tool needs to have the ability to mitigate vulnerabilities with alternative solutions."

"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 is expensive.""Tenable.sc's user interface could be improved.""Deploying Tenable.sc is highly complex because it's an on-prem solution, whereas Tenable.io is cloud-based, so you can go live as soon as you log in. Tenable.sc involves significant integration with other on-prem solutions, and the deployment takes about two to three weeks with the help of a system integrator""Though the solution's technical support is responsive, they do take a lot of time, making it one of the solution's shortcomings that needs improvement.""We are facing some challenges related to our channel.""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.""The solution's user interface has some issues."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The pricing could be split into a lower-paid tier for smaller organizations and another higher tier for others with a more security-focused outlook. $1000 per month is more than some companies pay for their internet connections in total. UPDATE: they have a new 400$ a month tier for starters."
  • "Even though it's competitive, they offer flexible pricing structures."

  • "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."

    Questions from the Community

    Top Answer:The most important features are the dashboard and reporting. The dashboard provides statistics with graphs and bar charts for our management.
    Top Answer:The solution’s pricing is reasonable but depends on the country's foreign reserves. You have to buy it at the price of USD. Hence, it depends on your country's currency rate.
    Top Answer: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… more »
