We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The strong security provided by the product in the container environment is its most valuable feature.""The tool's most valuable feature is scanning, reporting, and troubleshooting.""It helps us secure our applications from the build phase and identify the weaknesses from scratch.""Nessus scanner is very effective for internal penetration testing.""Tenable.io detects misconfiguration when you deploy a Docker or Kubernetes container. It's much better to remedy these issues during deployment instead of waiting until the container is already in the production environment.""Currently, I haven't implemented the solution due to its deprecation by the site. However, I can highlight some benefits of Tenable Cloud Security, a cybersecurity solution with various features for scanning vulnerabilities in both cloud environments and on-premises container security.""It is a scalable solution. Scalability-wise, it is a good solution."

"We like the ability of the host security module to monitor the processes running on our servers to help us monitor activity.""An important feature of this solution is monitoring. Specifically, container monitoring.""The most valuable feature is the SecOps because they have our back and they help us with the reports... It's like having an extension of your team. And then, it grows with you.""Technical support is very helpful.""With Threat Stack, we quickly identified some AWS accounts which had services that would potentially be exposed and were able to remediate them prior to release of products.""Threat Stack has connectivity.""We're using it on container to see when activity involving executables happens, and that's great.""There has been a measurable decrease in the meantime to remediation... because we have so many different tech verticals already collated in one place, our ability to respond is drastically different than it used to be."

Cons
"I believe integration plays a crucial role for Tenable, particularly in terms of connecting with other products and various container solutions like Docker or Kubernetes. It seems that in future updates, enhanced integration is something I would appreciate. Currently, there is integration with Docker, but when it comes to Kubernetes or other container solutions, it appears to be a challenge, especially with on-prem scanners.""The support is tricky to reach, so we would like better-oriented technical support enabled.""I feel that in certain areas this product has false positives which the company should work on. They should also try to include business logic vulnerabilities in the scanner testing. Finally, the vulnerability assessment feature should be increased to other hardware devices, apart from firewalls.""They need to work on auto-remediation so it's easier for the security team to act quickly when certain assets or resources are deployed. The latest version has a CIS benchmark that you need to meet for containers in the cloud, but more automation is needed.""Tenable.io Container Security should improve integration modules. It should also improve stability.""The initial setup is highly complex.""The stability and setup phase of the product are areas with shortcomings where improvements are needed."

More Tenable.io Container Security Cons →

"Some features do not work as expected.""They could give a few more insights into security groups and recommendations on how to be more effective. That's getting more into the AWS environment, specifically. I'm not sure if that's Threat Stack's plan or not, but I would like them to help us be efficient about how we're setting up security groups. They could recommend separation of VPCs and the like - really dig into our architecture. I haven't seen a whole lot of that and I think that's something that, right off the bat, could have made us smarter.""The user interface can be a little bit clunky at times... There's a lot of information that needs to be waded through, and the UI just isn't great.""The compliance and governance need improvement.""The one thing that we know they're working on, but we don't have through the tool, is the application layer. As we move to a serverless environment, with AWS Fargate or direct Lambda, that's where Threat Stack does not have the capacity to provide feed. Those are areas that it's blind to now...""The API - which has grown quite a bit, so we're still learning it and I can't say whether it still needs improvement - was an area that had been needing it.""The solution’s ability to consume alerts and data in third-party tools (via APIs and export into S3 buckets) is moderate. They have some work to do in that area... The API does not mimic the features of the UI as far as reporting and pulling data out go. There's a big discrepancy there.""The reports aren't very good. We've automated the report generation via the API and replaced almost all the reports that they generate for us using API calls instead."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "It's best to be an institutional buyer and directly contact the sales team as they can provide over-the-top discounts for bulk orders."
  • "I rate the product’s pricing a six out of ten."
  • "The product does not operate on a pay-per-license model."
  • "I rate the tool's pricing a three out of ten."

  • "It is a cost-effective choice versus other solutions on the market."
  • "Pricing seems to be in line with the market structure. It's fine."
  • "It is very expensive compared to some other products. The pricing is definitely high."
  • "I'm happy with the amount that we spend for the product that we get and the overall service that we get. It's not cheap, but I'm still happy with the spend."
  • "We find the licensing and pricing very easy to understand and a good value for the services provided."
  • "It came in cheaper than Trend Micro when we purchased it a few years ago."
  • "What we're paying now is somewhere around $15 to $20 per agent per month, if I recall correctly. The other cost we have is SecOps."

The product also shows each image’s OS, OS version, and architecture.
    • Malware protection: The Tenable.io Container Security solution is unique because it is one of the only container security solutions that assesses container image source code for malware. It is designed with a custom-built malware detection engine to help ensure images are malware-free and to analyze container image source code.
    • Policy enforcement: If an image is created that exceeds the organization’s risk threshold, Tenable.io Container Security notifies developers immediately, with layer-specific information provided to help remediate issues rapidly. In addition, when using the solution, policy violations can trigger alerting or can optionally block specific images from being deployed. Policies can be applied globally or only to images in specific repositories.

    Reviews from Real Users

    Below are some reviews and helpful feedback written by PeerSpot users currently using the Threat Stack Cloud Security Platform solution.

    Skyler C., Software Development Manager at Rent Dynamics, says, “The most valuable feature is the SecOps because they have our back and they help us with the reports. We jump on calls monthly to set goals and roadmaps internally for how we can secure our platform more. Their SecOps program is absolutely amazing when you do not have a dedicated resource for security.”

    An IT Engineer at a consultancy mentions, “The platform has a good threat and vulnerability manager with very helpful technical support. The scalability is great.”
