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.

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.

Cons

"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."

"The user interface is the only drawback of the product."

"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."

"Tenable Vulnerability Management is not very effective for real-time risk prioritization for our organization's security strategy."

"An area of improvement for this solution is being able to customize the dashboard. For example, the dashboard does not allow us to view a previous months vulnerability results alongside current results to make comparisons."

"It would be helpful if Tenable could be more clear with regard to everything the solution can and cannot do with the particular license that you have."

"It can have more integration."

"They've been able to think about everything in terms of where the world is going and the type of assets that you've got. They've everything sorted out in that aspect, but you have to pay for most of the other components that they've got to give you complete visibility across your tech surface. If it already had those capabilities in-built, without having to add them on to take advantage of them, it would be a very compelling value proposition."

"The solution seems to focus too much on enterprises, and they really need a product that works for SMBs."

"Tenable could improve visibility into assets, including automated asset tagging. You should be able to automatically tag assets based on location, function, ownership, etc. That would help us because we spend a lot of time identifying and tagging assets by hand."

"The product is a bit expensive."

More Tenable Vulnerability Management cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is very reasonable."

"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."

"Tenable.io Vulnerability Management's pricing solution model isn't great."

"Tenable charges around $40 per device."

"Compared to other VM solutions, Tenable.io Vulnerability Management is expensive."

"A yearly payment has to be made toward the solution's licensing costs."

"Yearly payments are to be made toward the licensing cost of the product. It is neither a cheap nor an expensive product."

"The cost is determined by the number of endpoints, which is approximately one dollar per endpoint."
