Featured Reviews

Israel Cavazos Landini - PeerSpot reviewer
Weekly insights and risk analysis facilitate informed security decisions
I appreciate the weekly insights Zafran provides, which include critical topics for networks and IT security, allowing us to evaluate which insights apply to our environment. The organization score feature is valuable to keep the leadership team updated on how our infrastructure fares security-wise. The applicable risk level versus base risk level feature is beneficial because prior to Zafran, we only used the base risk level, but now understand that risk depends on the asset itself. Zafran is an excellent tool.

Enhanced endpoint security with effective patch management and frequent scans
The most valuable feature was the patch management, which was very effective for endpoint-centric solutions requiring remediation of vulnerabilities. ManageEngine Vulnerability Manager Plus was the perfect fit for managing these requirements. We improved the number of scans and patches performed from four times per year per computer to four times per month.
OndrejKOVAC - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

"The integration with third-party solutions such as ticketing solutions or CMDB solutions can be improved."

"The integration with third-party solutions such as ticketing solutions or CMDB solutions can be improved."
"One area that needs improvement is the contract management. My legal team required some partner requirements for that, and ManageEngine could not support it."
"Deploying Tenable.sc is highly complex because it's an on-prem solution, whereas Tenable.io is cloud-based, so you can go live as soon as you log in. Tenable.sc involves significant integration with other on-prem solutions, and the deployment takes about two to three weeks with the help of a system integrator"
"The user interface can be improved."
"It's important for Tenable to catch up on testing capabilities that are present in solutions like Qualys."
"The reporting needs a lot of work on the template."
"Security can always be improved."
"Tenable has some problems with agents going offline during scanning and lag between agents and the security center."
"The solution should provide better web application features and support."
"The product should provide risk-based vulnerability management."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The price is very reasonable."
"Tenable is open-source."
"The tool provides competitive pricing."
"The pricing depends upon the number of IPs."
"The tool costs around 15,000 Saudi riyals monthly."
"The licensing costs for this solution are approximately $100,000 US, and I think that covers everything."
"For 500 users the licensing fee is roughly $100,000."
"Compared to other companies or other products it could maybe be a little bit less, but the price is okay. I would say it's not very expensive."
"Though reasonable, the main competitor of Tenable SC, Rapid7, offers a more aggressive and better priced product."
