Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The initial setup is straightforward.""We can get detailed information about vulnerabilities.""Tenable provides the end analysis results covering all the published vulnerabilities and information on the market.""It collects the vulnerabilities on the hostnames and sends them to the Tenable.io cloud. Tenable has its own cloud where Tenable.io is running, but there are many connectors to other cloud solutions. Tenable can do vulnerability scanning for other cloud managers such as Azure, Amazon, and so on.""The most effective feature of the product is the ability to scan the entire environment.""Tenable.io Web Application Scanning is very easy to use.""The most valuable feature is the reporting, which provides a good level of detail with respect to vulnerabilities.""Our customers adopt this solution because of the replication testing and the vulnerability assessment it can do. It is a multi-faceted product."

Cons
"It would be great if there were a dashboard that is more user-friendly.""The solution's dashboards could be improved and made more user-friendly.""The dashboard could be more user-friendly.""The cloud and the on-premises versions have their own controllers, and there is no way to centrally manage controllers.""Tenable.io Web Application Scanning is not very user-friendly and you need a lot of information to get proper reports. The tool's support is not very responsive.""The technical support should be improved. Currently, some attacks are detected while others are not.""They have a general dashboard for web application scanning, but the dashboards and reporting can be improved. They probably have some features in their roadmap.""Tenable.io Web Application Scanning conducts a general scan, which wastes time. The scan needs to be specific."
