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 most valuable features are network mapping and configuration."
"RedSeal has different modules, such as the Analyzer module, which can be leveraged."
"This is the only solution in the world that gives you a digital resilience score."
"RedSeal integrates the network and gives us a visual or graphical overview of our network. If an organization is geographically dispersed, for instance, with one office in Canada and one office in the Philippines, the whole network, including all devices, is integrated into RedSeal, and you can see from where the traffic is going in and out."
"It is very stable, and it is updated periodically by adding new vulnerabilities."
"You can customize each point in new scans."
"Tenable Vulnerability Management is the backbone of our vulnerability management and has affected my organization positively."
"The ease of use in terms of scanning assets is valuable."
"It's a recommended tool for penetration testers because it's effective for that purpose."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"The vulnerability scanning is the most important aspect of the solution for us."
"The vulnerability management itself is the most valuable feature as well as references to the mitigation techniques."
 

Cons

"There is room for improvement in integrating the OT security part and the private 5G security part in RedSeal."
"One of the areas of concern is the GUI. It is important to our customers that the GUI looks beautiful. It's a Java Client, so you have a Java dependency."
"The dashboard should be improved to make correlating data easier to do."
"Sometimes, it required us to refresh the configuration. When we integrated any of the configurations into the device, sometimes, it could not detect the exact picture of that device. So, we had to reset the device to see that if it was giving true-positive results or false-positive results. In some cases, we were not able to get true-positive results. There was some kind of bug in that version. Its interface is not user-friendly and needs to be improved. It takes time to understand the interface and various options. Skybox has quite a user-friendly interface. They could provide a feature for compliance audit policy if it is already not there. A compliance audit policy ensures that all configurations are based on the best practices standards, such as CIS benchmarks standard or other similar standards. It provides visibility about whether your device configuration is based on best practices or not. Usually, such a feature is provided by other solutions such as Meteor or Tenable Nessus."
"They should include better customization of the dashboard, and integration tools."
"I would evaluate Tenable Vulnerability Management's customer service and technical support as average."
"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."
"The stability has room for improvement."
"The price could be lower."
"I'd like to see them improve their support."
"The reporting was never great in Tenable Vulnerability Management, so, in my company, we imported all the data into Ivanti RiskSense to start using it for reporting."
"The solution must provide penetration testing."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is based on the number of endpoints and devices, and we have seen it range from mid-five figures to low six figures."
"Compared to other VM solutions, Tenable.io Vulnerability Management is expensive."
"The solution is not too expensive."
"The tool is reasonably priced."
"Tenable.io is not known for being a cheap product."
"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."
