Featured Reviews

Mani Bommisetty - PeerSpot reviewer
Streamlines vulnerability management with excellent reporting and potential AI integration
Tenable is user-friendly and excels in reporting. It allows me to easily fetch and schedule reports. The software's discovery feature aids in strengthening our security posture. The single-sensor installation process on various operating systems is smooth, unlike Rapid7, which requires different versions for separate systems. Furthermore, Tenable enables vulnerability management through potential AI integration that consolidates efforts and resolves multiple vulnerabilities simultaneously.
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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The stability is commendable, and I would rate Tenable ten out of ten."
"They are on a good trajectory as a company and investing in R&D in the right ways."
"The vulnerability scanning is the most important aspect of the solution for us."
"The interface is fine."
"Tenable.io, in particular, is quite a powerful product. It looks at your traditional environment, which is pretty much anything that is on-premises, and it also goes a step ahead and covers your modern assets, which is anything that is currently sitting in the cloud. You get complete visibility of your entire environment and tech operation. The ability to give you visibility across the entire tech surface is one of the biggest advantages that Tenable.io has."
"The ease of use in terms of scanning assets is valuable."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"Tenable is user-friendly and excels in reporting."
"Zafran is an excellent tool."
"Zafran has become an indispensable tool in our cybersecurity arsenal."
 

Cons

"I would rate it four out of ten. For startups, freelancers, or companies between startup and midsize, Tenable is recommended. However, for midsize or enterprise-level companies, I would not prefer it."
"I would like the solution to cover the whole cycle of mitigation since it's an area where the solution currently lacks."
"The UI has room for improvement."
"They need to have more dependable and faster support."
"t needs additional reporting and intelligence features, as well as enhancements in AI-driven detection, which is still in its early stages."
"The solution is a bit slow."
"Another area of improvement is customer service and support. Tenable needs to include support in the pricing/license. Currently, they push clients to get support from partners or channel distributors, who often charge a lot."
"The initial setup is complex and has room for improvement."
"Initially, we were somewhat concerned about the scalability of Zafran due to our large asset count and the substantial amount of information we needed to process."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is not too expensive."
"Tenable.io is not known for being a cheap product."
"The cost is determined by the number of endpoints, which is approximately one dollar per endpoint."
"There are additional features that can be licensed for an additional cost."
"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 product costs us around $137,000 annually for 4000 to 5000 assets."
"Yearly payments are to be made toward the licensing cost of the product. It is neither a cheap nor an expensive product."
"The tool is reasonably priced."
