Comprehensive asset visibility and OT operations support enhance risk mitigation
I use Armis for asset discovery and vulnerability assessments of the OT network Armis is easy to use. Very few software solutions have OT capabilities that do not impact OT operations. Its asset visibility is good as well. This comprehensive feature set is crucial for our operations.…

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

"The most valuable feature of the solution is asset tracking."
"Armis is very easy to implement due to its agentless design and offers a granular level of visibility for all assets in the network."
"Armis saves time by automating asset inventory management, allowing enterprises to quickly strategize by understanding their assets and exposures."
"Armis is a straightforward and user-friendly solution."
"The technology is good."
"I find the most valuable features of Armis to be its focus on IT, OT security, and medical device security."
"Armis is easy to use."
"The tool is user-friendly and helps to detect vulnerabilities."
"Support is knowledgeable."
"Tenable.sc's best features are the availability model, accident management, and scoring."
"Tenable also helps us to focus resources on the vulnerabilities that are most likely to be exploited. And since it is continuously updated, it allows us to reevaluate quickly if there are new vulnerabilities found..."
"I found the dashboard features very useful. It made it easy to track remediation progress. I could publish dashboards to remediation teams and track the progress on the dashboards."
"The most important features are the dashboard and reporting. The dashboard provides statistics with graphs and bar charts for our management."
"It is a very good and user-friendly product."
"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."
"The tool's dashboard and reporting capabilities match our company's needs since we are able to modify the basic view to create a new dashboard, and it works out very well for our needs."
 

Cons

"There isn't anything specific that needs improvement."
"After implementing Armis, an organization experiences it as an add-on. Without asset visibility or vulnerability prioritization, it becomes a useless product."
"Armis doesn't have a back intel feature."
"We face issues during implementation."
"We face difficulties in integrating the product with ticketing tools like ServiceNow."
"Like any IT tool, continuous learning and improvement are essential for the solution."
"The solution's vulnerability testing could be improved."
"We have faced issues with the tool's stability."
"The product should provide risk-based vulnerability management."
"The reports and plugins for reports and scans could benefit from enhancements."
"We are facing some challenges related to our channel."
"A good plugin editor would be a good additional option for the Security Center."
"Tenable's technical support has declined in quality over time. While they used to be excellent, achieving ratings of eight or nine, they now rate around six or seven due to longer response times and less thorough assistance."
"The solution should provide better web application features and support."
"We did conduct a long implementation which relates to what I think can be improved about Tenable Security Center."
"At times we have had the typical bugs."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is cheap."
"The pricing is more than Nexpose."
"For 500 users the licensing fee is roughly $100,000."
"The tool provides competitive pricing."
"Tenable SC is priced per asset, with the basic solution starting around US$12,000 for 500 assets."
"Tenable.sc is more expensive than its competitors."
"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"
"It is slightly more expensive than other solutions in the same sphere."
"This solution's price is quite high."
