Allows us to configure the risk algorithm to suit our specific needs
I would give the easiness of the initial setup a seven out of ten. It can be a bit complex. Some connections are straightforward, but some take a long time. Deploying Brinqa took time, as it was done in phases. Initially, it took about six months before we started getting valuable data from it. Then, it expanded from there. The deployment began with a product demo and contract negotiation. We connected some data sources to Brinqa's cloud service, which was straightforward. We used the default risk ranking algorithm but faced issues with the dashboards, so we customized them to fit our organization's needs over a few years. We depended a lot on Brinqa for the deployment. We had some internal resources, but they lacked the needed skills, so it took time to train our two-man team. Initially, it required one person for maintenance, and they spent most of their time on it.

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 features of Brinqa are its data integration capabilities."
"This solution has a much lower rate of false positives compared to competing products."
"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..."
"Their overall cost of service is pretty good."
"Tenable Security Center is a relatively very good solution, and I don't think it needs improvement; it's a perfect solution."
"The most valuable feature of the product is the Assurance Report Card, which gives us an overview of the security poster in just a simple glance."
"The most valuable features in Tenable SC are scanning and analysis."
"Tenable Security Center scans networks and gives reports."
"I like Tenable.sc's analytics and reporting. You can also configure your on-prem network monitors to talk to your Tenable.sc control panel."
 

Cons

"Brinqa could improve in terms of the speed of their service and resource provision."
"The product should provide risk-based vulnerability management."
"The solution is expensive."
"The integration is very good, although it still needs to improve."
"In terms of configuration, there is some level of flexibility that we are not able to achieve."
"The reporting side can be improved. The dashboards are nice, but exporting things out for reports for management was a little tough."
"Current web page needs improvement, slows down processes."
"Tenable.sc's user interface could be improved."
"A good plugin editor would be a good additional option for the Security Center."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Tenable SC is priced per asset, with the basic solution starting around US$12,000 for 500 assets."
"The tool provides competitive pricing."
"The pricing depends upon the number of IPs."
"For 500 users the licensing fee is roughly $100,000."
"The price of Tenable SC is expensive, we pay approximately €70,000 for the license annually. We have to pay for each IP test. The cost of other solutions is far less, such as Nessus Professional, which is €3,000 annually."
"The licensing costs for this solution are approximately $100,000 US, and I think that covers everything."
"We're able to save because we don't have to employ more staff members to help wit ht he scheduling of the scans, running the reports or sending them out to the systems owners. That alone is a big ROI for us."
"I would rate the pricing a nine out of ten, where ten is expensive. It is the most expensive tool my company is using."
