With good website development capabilities, the solution also provides exceptional stability
The initial setup is straightforward. The time taken for deployment for the website depends on the website code files and database. It may take four hours to eight hours for a single site to migrate from another solution. We used to do the migration from the cloud only and not on-premises. For deployment, we used to compress the code files, and using SFTP, we used to transfer the files. We then configure the same with that, and after transferring the code files, we used to have the UAT, staging, and production URL. Once everything is fine, we will switch the DNS for the live website. For the deployment and maintenance, we need support from the client's side and from the management side to make the DNS switch. We also need help from third-party vendors to provide access.

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

"The website development section is the most valuable feature of the solution."
"The solution is easy to implement."
"The tool is a stable product."
"Ivanti Patch for Linux, UNIX, and Mac helps to ensure that everything is up to date."
"Compared to other software options, this is not exactly a cheap solution, however, the value you get is good, and therefore it's worth the cost."
"The solution can integrate with third parties and meets standard compliance."
"The solution creates vulnerability tickets within the VM profile but should also include them under the Remediation tab so the fixes can be viewed in the ticketing queue."
"Tenable.io Vulnerability Management gives a good ROI in the long run, though it would be better with a pay-as-you-go model."
"The best feature of the solution is the amount of visibility it provides of the vulnerabilities."
"The integration of Tenable into our security ecosystem was very good."
"The price of Tenable.io Vulnerability Management is reasonable as it is ten times cheaper than other options."
"The solution's most valuable feature is providing a single pane of visibility on all the infrastructure and its status."
"The most valuable feature for me is container scanning because I am interested in CICD security."
 

Cons

"The tool needs to improve its visual system."
"The better way to improve the solution is by working on an area where it lacks, which includes the migration part."
"The solution can be quite expensive, compared to other options on the market."
"The user interface could be improved by being able to change the user interface to fit your position or your job. The graphs are set in stone and you can only print reports."
"The one drawback that we have found is the reports."
"Another area of improvement is customer service and support. Tenable needs to include support in the pricing/license. Currently, they push clients to get support from partners or channel distributors, who often charge a lot."
"I'm not satisfied with the reporting structure."
"The UI has room for improvement."
"They need to have more dependable and faster support."
"The initial setup is complex and has room for improvement."
"The interface could be improved; right now it's running on two interfaces simultaneously."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is open-source, so we do not need any licensing."
"Tenable.io Vulnerability Management's pricing solution model isn't great."
"Compared to other VM solutions, Tenable.io Vulnerability Management is expensive."
"The total cost we pay for this solution is over 45K. This is for a large education organization."
"I would rate the pricing a five out of ten. It is in the middle."
"The tool is reasonably priced."
"Yearly payments are to be made toward the licensing cost of the product. It is neither a cheap nor an expensive product."
"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 solution is not too expensive."
