Great for productivity checking and provides good reports
We use this solution for password encryption and remote access. We are customers of ARCON This solution is good for productivity checking and provides good reports.  We've had instances where some parameters have disappeared and that is frustrating. The automation needs to be improved.  We've…

Empower clients with risk-based vulnerability management through continuous workflow and valuable insights
Tenable Security Center could improve by implementing more dynamic data displays and translating reports into European languages. This is especially relevant in Central Eastern Europe, where clients often require reports in local languages. Additionally, the licensing model could be more flexible for managed security providers, similar to a pay-as-you-go model.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Good for productivity checking."
"It is very user friendly. There are not a lot of clicks and buttons. The tool helps me with the installations. The user can do the installation rather than having a technical guide. I also like the browsing stream. It has a good dashboard."
"The support for ARCON ARSIM is very good."
"The scans are the most valuable aspect of this solution."
"My advice for those considering Tenable Security Center is to note the benefit of upgrading vulnerable devices."
"The product is our second solution, and we are happy that it meets our requirements."
"Very customizable with a lot of templates."
"Initial setup was pretty straightforward."
"The tool gives us fewer false positives. Compared to its competitors, the solution’s reports are more accurate."
"Tenable Security Center scans networks and gives reports."
"We really love the Security Center dashboard. It basically performs vulnerability scanning and then outputs a vulnerability data."
 

Cons

"The automation needs to be improved."
"As for what can be improved, definitely pricing. Customers look for pricing and ARCON is a little more expensive than Thycotic. So the pricing model could be improved."
"I would love to have all the products. Currently they have all the server operating systems and network operating systems but they should have all the other devices also included, like security devices. That's what I think is missing. They should also improve the license audit part. If I want to do a license audit from this tool, I'm not able to do it right now."
"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 web application is not very functional."
"It's important for Tenable to catch up on testing capabilities that are present in solutions like Qualys."
"The solution needs to improve the vulnerability assessment because we have experienced some challenges with accuracy."
"The vulnerability scan does not work correctly until the access privileges are set by the system administrator."
"The web application scanning area can be improved."
"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."
"I think the vendor training provided for Tenable.sc could be a lower price. It's quite expensive for the training."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Costing is pretty reasonable compared to the competition."
"My company needs to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs. The pricing of the solution falls in the mid-range level, so it is not too expensive"

"The tool provides competitive pricing."
"For 500 users the licensing fee is roughly $100,000."
"Tenable is open-source."
"The licensing costs for this solution are approximately $100,000 US, and I think that covers everything."
"This solution's price is quite high."
