Jaya Shanker - PeerSpot reviewer
Has improved our vulnerability tracking and supports cloud-based monitoring with scheduled scans
We don't have any issues with Tenable One Exposure Management Platform. It works well for us, but the only problem is the licensing aspect. In the license, it becomes problematic because when we go to cloud security for vulnerability management, it will take five licenses instead of the one-on-one license that vulnerability exposure management requires. The license needs to be reviewed.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It provides good reports and offers signature-based solutions."
"One of the most valuable features would be the detection capability, specifically the ability to detect alarms and logs collected from SIEM tools."
"It's very useful software because the customer mostly configures their IPS and manages their firewalls, WAF, and the DBS according to the latest update, latest news, or according to the situation."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its integration capabilities with the other security tools."
"You have the liberty of physically executing a specific set of rules in your environment."
"The most valuable feature of Picus Security is its threat intelligence, providing suggestions to block and prevent attacks by identifying malicious files and providing threat IDs."
"We find Tenable One Exposure Management Platform vulnerability prioritization effective overall because, with the scheduled scan running on our set schedule, we can remediate any findings and check on the next schedule if issues are closed, making it much easier for us to monitor vulnerabilities."
"The solution is very easy to set up."
"The feature of vulnerability management and discovery is what I use."
"The product gives us a lot of insight."
"I think it's a good product for risk-based or exposure-based vulnerability management."
"For me, the setup has been an easy process."
 

Cons

"To improve, Picus Security could consider establishing a data center in India to address trust issues and increase interest from Indian customers."
"There is room for improvement in the response rate provided by customer support."
"The amount of integrations that the product can handle is an area of concern, making it one of the aspects where improvements are required."
"Let's say if a customer's environment has 10 security devices and they need to know that there is an attack that has bypassed their devices, they cannot go and inspect every device and every rule in their security devices."
"According to the attack vectors, you cannot specify which product is failing or which product is working well because there's no agent."
"The reporting and data analysis could be improved. Specifically, the analysis of the results."
"The sensor update is a challenge that Tenable needs to address. Sometimes they behave abruptly, requiring me to rework reinstalling the sensors on the endpoints."
"The license needs to be reviewed."
"The sensor update is a challenge that Tenable needs to address."
"It would be nice if the product provided an agent for enforcing policies."
"Tenable needs to provide a better way to manage private clouds."
"The product has limited reporting capabilities and it isn't great at allowing for customization in reports."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is a yearly license according to the number of vectors. The pricing is moderate."
"They have certain price ranges for their products, depending upon the use cases, and the number of applications the customer wants to try."
"The pricing is fair."
