A stable security solution with a useful visibility feature

We use it to scan all of our servers and network devices on a monthly basis. Then based on the outcome, we do the patching depending on high availability, and so on Through porting, we can see how the improvement is happening over a period of time. We can see the overall scenario from the last…

Monitoring has transformed internet visibility and speeds up resolving external service issues

ThousandEyes needs to specify unit consumption forecasting or scaling testing and deeper app analytics. It needs deeper out-of-the-box Layer 7 code or database-level insights. Additionally, it should unify the GUI with broader Cisco platforms and flatten the learning curve, adding better correlation with local laptop system metrics such as endpoint depth, CPU, RAM, or processes. ThousandEyes isn't designed to be a full-blown SNMP monitoring tool for on-premises infrastructure. While it tracks network paths effectively, it doesn't provide deep local device telemetry such as switch port buffer utilization, fan status, or power supply health. For full internal device monitoring, you'll still need to pair it with traditional tools such as SolarWinds or Cisco Catalyst Center.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Tenable is already in the top three risk management solutions and Tenable is already a leader of vulnerability risk management."

"We can manage everything with only a single console on the Tenable SecurityCenter. We can pull and define the policy. We can perform every task on the Tenable SecurityCenter."

"The first of the valuable features is how easy it is to access all of the information that's gathered from the assessments... With a lot of other technologies, like Rapid7, if you're using Nexpose you effectively have to be a DBA to get some of the lower-level results from the scans. And Qualys wasn't very intuitive."

"The level of visibility Tenable provides us, compared to our previous solutions is night and day."

"The scanning itself is really the core of the tool, and it's what we're most interested in."

"The next big one is supportability. In a large enterprise, we have many types of technologies. The technology we previously had didn't even support authentication to a lot of those technologies."

"SecurityCenter enables us to find all the vulnerabilities, export that data, prioritize it, and address the highest-risk vulnerabilities."

"Through porting, we can see how the improvement is happening over a period of time. We can see the overall scenario from the last year, where were we were and where we currently stand."

"ThousandEyes actually advanced the troubleshooting part and the monitoring of the devices, or I would say the management of the devices with monitoring and to identify the root cause."

"I think the analysis service that Cisco provides is extremely valuable."

"The most valuable aspect of the solution was the ability to see how the connection quality is between the sites and get an alert if it was turning bad."

"The solution's most valuable feature is network security."

"For me, all the features are great and make ThousandEyes stand out among other observability products."

"The company provides excellent service."

"It's fairly easy to set up."

"ThousandEyes positively impacts our organization by flagging issues immediately, which helps us reduce downtime whenever we seize or acknowledge the alerts."

Cons

"For dynamic application scanning, it's a two out of ten."

"There are certain circumstances where they may have found a vulnerable service and they just removed the service completely from the device because nobody was using it. There's no way to go into SecurityCenter and mark it, to say, "This is no longer an issue. It doesn't exist anymore." Or, "The risk was accepted for one year, so let's not report it as 'high' until that one year period is done." The handling of operational flow around vulnerability management could be improved."

"One area which is missing is cloud security because there are a lot of configurations. Rapid7 has a product called a DV cloud. I would like to have a similar kind of solution and feature."

"When it comes to... dynamic application scanning, I think they are lagging behind the curve. They have a lackluster solution, to the point where I think they need to determine, as a company, whether or not that's a space they even want to play in."

"In terms of what could be improved, some customers have a problem with SecurityCenter's ticket system. If I want them to assign one of the issues, they may want to assign someone to it or to assign it somewhere else and I may want to break up the ticket."

"Cisco is the standard for anyone wanting something good, the problem with it is the cost and that means that it's not accessible to many smaller companies."

"An area where ThousandEyes can be improved is in providing more in-depth packet analysis; we've found instances where ThousandEyes indicates everything is okay, but it's actually not."

"The tool does not provide features for application-level monitoring."

"Once I fully use the tool 100%, I'm sure I would have something to critique, however, for now, I'm happy with it."

"I feel it needs more holistic integration. It needs more improvement."

"The first thing is that we don't have any option to export the reports."

"It might be practical to extend monitoring capabilities to include network devices"

"It was kind of a beta experience, I would say. It was not fully developed at that time; it looked like an unfinished project with many gaps."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing-wise, it's fine. It's not an expensive product. That's not an issue."

"We did a three-year deal where the cost is amortized over the three years. The Elite Support was an additional cost to the standard licensing fees... If you use Security Center, most of the time it is on-premise, so you're going to have some sort of infrastructure to build out and there's going to be a cost associated with that."

"The solution's pricing is cheap; I rate it a five out of ten."

"The solution is cheap."

"The solution costs several thousand dollars per year."

"In our company, we incur a yearly expense in our company for the licensing part. I rate the solution's pricing a seven out of ten since it is expensive."

"It is a quite expensive solution."
