Service Coordinator - Technology Security at a government with 10,001+ employees
The solution helps users to manage their entire IP range, but it's unreliable and very expensive to maintain
Only the administrator was using the product. He used it to read reports as part of our compliance programs. It wasn't heavily used by a lot of users. The tool comes in at a large scale, and we tried to scale it down. The scaling did not apply to us. It was neither difficult nor easy. I rate the scalability a five out of ten. We had some challenges while scaling it down. It could do 10,000 devices, and we wanted to use it for ten devices. The process was difficult and expensive. We did not need the product anymore.
Chethan Gowda - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"This product detects vulnerabilities which exist in the environment, and provides enough information that allows for remediation, thereby securing the environment."
"It has enhanced the security program by ensuring that all external-facing systems are scanned on a routine basis."
"It's become the pinnacle point for anything that enters the network or anything that's passing through to production to first be affected by IP360, hardened, and up to standard. For our integrity management, one was deployed in the bank about two years ago and that's still going to expand the usage and the product itself. That will go hand in hand with training and expanding the product as for where it's deployed."
"Tripwire is one of the most mature in terms of companies, suites, support, everything, much more than any other product."
"We could manage our entire IP range with the solution."
"Tripwire IP360 helps me to discover most of the vulnerabilities, and I like the way that it prioritizes these vulnerabilities, as it allows me to focus on the most important ones first and then follow up with the rest."
"The company probably chose this solution because they thought that they would be getting the best bang for their buck."
"Tripwire IP360 is a very stable solution."
"Tenable Vulnerability Management agents are very lightweight, and the results we get are very accurate."
"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."
"One of the most valuable features of Tenable.io Vulnerability Management is its exportability, which allows us to conduct risk assessments efficiently."
"The interface is fine."
"It's a great product, and it brings more value with every improvement in the quarter."
"The price of Tenable.io Vulnerability Management is reasonable as it is ten times cheaper than other options."
"The solution is easy to use and configuration is smooth with no complexities."
 

Cons

"We would like to have better reporting capabilities and for them to be more granular."
"The reporting functions can use improvement."
"If you are looking for better reporting capabilities and vulnerability tracking over time for remediation purposes, then this is not the best solution."
"We need to dedicate time and resources to keep it running."
"I am not very impressed by the technical support."
"The reporting functions can use improvement. There is room for growth because reporting functions differ a lot depending on what you're going to output. It depends on whether it's for technical or senior management and how it's interpreted. There could be growth within the reporting functionality side."
"I am not very impressed by the technical support."
"For IP360, unfortunately, scans for certain vulnerabilities often cause issues, as they are mainly false positive."
"The solution is a bit slow."
"The pricing of the solution could be more reasonable."
"They should include better customization of the dashboard, and integration tools."
"They need a better approach to support. When I have hard questions that need answers to, I prefer to jump to L3 support instead of getting pushed to L1."
"We'd like to see a bit more user-friendliness. They need to work on that aspect of the solution."
"The one drawback that we have found is the reports."
"More flexibility is required compared to other solutions."
"The price could be lower, and the grouping of platforms on the dashboard can be included in the next release of the product."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I believe the price compares well within the market."
"The product was expensive for us."
"There are additional features that can be licensed for an additional cost."
"Yearly payments are to be made toward the licensing cost of the product. It is neither a cheap nor an expensive product."
"Tenable.io Vulnerability Management's pricing solution model isn't great."
"The cost is determined by the number of endpoints, which is approximately one dollar per endpoint."
"The product costs us around $137,000 annually for 4000 to 5000 assets."
"A yearly payment has to be made toward the solution's licensing costs."
"Compared to other VM solutions, Tenable.io Vulnerability Management is expensive."
"The solution is not too expensive."
