Proactive alert management enhances network security and provides peace of mind
The reporting is really good from what I've seen so far. They are on top of the alerts, especially the critical ones. This proactive approach to alert management ensures that if someone downloads something on a workstation that shouldn't be downloaded, they address it quickly. Their ability to identify and provide information on critical alerts is very valuable.

Windows Security Patching Operation III (Cyber Operations) at CBTS
Have maintained accurate vulnerability scans and gained actionable remediation insights across thousands of servers
Tenable Vulnerability Management agents are very lightweight, and the results we get are very accurate. The solutions they provide to us, assuming if one vulnerability exists, there will be a solution. The resolution they give us in wording will be the best solution. The exploit rates and the reports we get provide a lot of information, making it very easy for us to verify.The main benefit of integration with Tenable Vulnerability Management is that there will be no lack of missing vulnerabilities when it comes to the patching environment. That is one of the key aspects of why we have integrated Tenable to our patching tools. It has a vast capacity of pushing the data to our tools due to its capability and compatibility. That is also one of the reasons why we are using Tenable Vulnerability Management.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I appreciate the professionalism of the tool and have faith in the results it delivers."
"The user-friendly interface and customizable reporting have helped our IT team interpret and act on the platform's insights."
"I appreciate the professionalism of the tool and have faith in the results it delivers."
"The most valuable feature of Arctic Wolf Managed Risk is being informed about what vulnerabilities there are exposed currently."
"There are companies that do vulnerability scans. However, what adds value is when two experts come and sit with you to scan and patch the vulnerabilities. Any 50-member or small company that has an IT footprint carries risk from a cybersecurity perspective. These companies use tools but don't have the talent to leverage them."
"This solution has made huge strides in improving the awareness of our end users."
"The reporting is really good from what I've seen so far."
"The customer support is incredible."
"The solution's most valuable feature is providing a single pane of visibility on all the infrastructure and its status."
"The initial setup is straightforward so long as your infrastructure, components, and networks are in place."
"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"It helps us create remediation projects and assign the console’s responsibility to specific engineers."
"They are on a good trajectory as a company and investing in R&D in the right ways."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"The ease of use, the automated scanning facility, and their good support mechanism are all valuable."
"Tenable Vulnerability Management agents are very lightweight, and the results we get are very accurate."
 

Cons

"The major area for improvement is the lack of a patch management feature to resolve some of the vulnerabilities detected."
"Arctic Wolf Managed Risk needs to add more integrations."
"The presentation of the data could be improved."
"The scalability could improve."
"As far as the product is concerned, I would really like the scanning feature to let us know that a threat has been addressed once we apply the relevant patch. We are not seeing this currently when running a scan."
"It could be easier to use. They could present things in a little bit more ranked order rather than kind of giving you everything out there. It should highlight the really important stuff and make it easier to get to good rather than perfect."
"The presentation of the data could be improved. I believe they have significant room for improvement, particularly in making better analysis of the vulnerability data and presenting those data more effectively."
"The best way to take this product to the next level would be to implement a patch management solution."
"The solution seems to focus too much on enterprises, and they really need a product that works for SMBs."
"They should include better customization of the dashboard, and integration tools."
"Technical support from Tenable is rated six out of ten. It needs improvement in response time and addressing feature requests promptly."
"t needs additional reporting and intelligence features, as well as enhancements in AI-driven detection, which is still in its early stages."
"I would like the solution to cover the whole cycle of mitigation since it's an area where the solution currently lacks."
"The solution must provide penetration testing."
"More flexibility is required compared to other solutions."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It depends on the company size quite a bit."
"Arctic Wolf Managed Risk is reasonably priced and I rate it a four out of ten."
"The price of Arctic Wolf Managed Risk is reasonable compared to the competition."
"Compared to other VM solutions, Tenable.io Vulnerability Management is expensive."
"I would rate the pricing a five out of ten. It is in the middle."
"A yearly payment has to be made toward the solution's licensing costs."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is low, and ten is high price, I rate the pricing an eight. So, it is a pretty expensive solution."
"The cost is determined by the number of endpoints, which is approximately one dollar per endpoint."
"The tool is reasonably priced."
"The product costs us around $137,000 annually for 4000 to 5000 assets."
"Yearly payments are to be made toward the licensing cost of the product. It is neither a cheap nor an expensive product."
