"We use Tenable to scan all of our environments and plugins for vulnerabilities. Tenable helps us discover network vulnerabilities to threats and piracy."
"Their overall cost of service is pretty good."
"Feature-wise, Tenable Security Center is a very fast tool with many dashboards and reports, and it covers all our systems."
"We really love the Security Center dashboard. It basically performs vulnerability scanning and then outputs a vulnerability data."
"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."
"Initial setup was pretty straightforward."
"The feature we've liked most recently was being able to take the YARA rules from FireEye and put them into Tenable's scan for the most recent SolarWinds exploit. That was really useful."
"Tenable is the leading product for vulnerability scanning."
"It is quite straightforward to set up."
"The interface is fine."
"It is a very, very user-friendly tool...The setup is easy"
"The solution creates vulnerability tickets within the VM profile but should also include them under the Remediation tab so the fixes can be viewed in the ticketing queue."
"One of the most valuable features of Tenable.io Vulnerability Management is its exportability, which allows us to conduct risk assessments efficiently."
"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"There is no burden of updating or upgrading this solution."
"The vulnerability scanning is the most important aspect of the solution for us."
"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."
"We would like to see the inclusion of external IPs and simplified reporting that's easier to deal with"
"The GUI could be improved to have all concerns and priorities use the same GUI, allowing them to see all tickets, assign vulnerabilities, and assign variation failures to each member of their team."
"At times we have had the typical bugs."
"The web application scanning area can be improved."
"The solution is expensive."
"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."
"Security can always be improved."
"I would like the solution to cover the whole cycle of mitigation since it's an area where the solution currently lacks."
"The only drawback of the solution is that it is expensive."
"The initial setup is complex and has room for improvement."
"Tenable could improve visibility into assets, including automated asset tagging. You should be able to automatically tag assets based on location, function, ownership, etc. That would help us because we spend a lot of time identifying and tagging assets by hand."
"We'd like to see a bit more user-friendliness."
"I'd like to see them improve their support."
"They should include better customization of the dashboard, and integration tools."
"The stability has room for improvement."
