Strong security reporting has supported our consulting work and drives better integration choices
I rated Adlumin Security Operations probably the same as Huntress at eight. They are better at reporting and better integrations. The integrations in terms of the number of integrations you can run from them or connect to are not as many as available with Huntress, but they have easier implementation. Overall, I would say it is the same. I do not want to see any additional features in the next release of Adlumin Security Operations, but I would change the pricing a little bit for around SIEM integrations and SIEM data collection. That is probably the maximum I would do. I do not really have much to say because that is literally five percent of our deployments versus ninety-five percent being Huntress. My overall rating for this review is eight.

Centralized analytics have strengthened patch visibility and support efficient regulatory reporting
From my experience, I assess the product's analytics capabilities as successful. It helped us significantly with patching and managing the risk of the patching process across all our environments, including network devices with Windows and Unix systems. The product covered several environments and gave us exactly what we needed in our environment. Tenable Security Center's centralized platform helped with risk assessment and management across our IT environments. It covered the patching process, and we previously faced many issues regarding how to patch different environments, how to monitor the patching process, and whether it was successful or not. We obtained good reports showing when patches were closed and the details of each patch, including who executed it and everything related to the patching process until it was closed. This gave us good details about the process which helped us significantly in our reporting and even in audits, whether internal or external. We learned how to close audit issues safely and successfully. We used the dashboards for real-time threat insights and extracted several dashboards from Tenable Security Center. We use these dashboards in our cybersecurity dashboard and committees that we have. These dashboards are part of our committees, especially the cybersecurity committee and other committees that we attend.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"We normally focus on Huntress."
"The initial setup process is simple."
"The scans are the most valuable aspect of this solution."
"The tool gives us fewer false positives. Compared to its competitors, the solution’s reports are more accurate."
"Tenable SC's most valuable features are the low number of false positives and the strong capability of providing prioritization for the vulnerabilities detected."
"The product is our second solution, and we are happy that it meets our requirements."
"The solution is one of the most, if not the most, stable product available."
"The solution is one of the most, if not the most, stable product available."
"Of all the tools I've used, when it comes to managing the vulnerabilities and risks of a whole enterprise environment, I don't think I've used a better tool than Security Center."
 

Cons

"Adlumin Security Operations's functionality is probably slightly better, but implementation and integration with Office 365 was not as straightforward."
"Tenable SC could be improved with additional connectivity to external company postures and the capability of managing and sustaining agents in the systems directly without additional platforms in the middle."
"Tenable SC can improve by making it easier to create complicated reports and have more effectiveness in the remediation area for comparison between the scans."
"The reports and plugins for reports and scans could benefit from enhancements."
"The licensing is a little involved from both sides. That may be due to our specific implementation of it because we are a defense contractor."
"The biggest issue I have with the solution is when I'm using the scanning it picks up the original DNS of that device."
"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."
"The tool's initial configuration is not so easy."
"We would like to see the inclusion of external IPs and simplified reporting that's easier to deal with"
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The pricing is more than Nexpose."
"We're happy with the licensing cost and find it affordable."

"Costing is pretty reasonable compared to the competition."
"The licensing costs for this solution are approximately $100,000 US, and I think that covers everything."
"Tenable.sc is more expensive than its competitors."
"Compared to other companies or other products it could maybe be a little bit less, but the price is okay. I would say it's not very expensive."
