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

I would not say very expensive for Tenable Vulnerability Management; it is not prohibitive, but at the same time, there are some other tools in the marketplace which are offering the same kind of services that Tenable offers, the same kind of features that Tenable has offered at a lesser cost.

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'm not satisfied with the reporting structure.

I would like the solution to cover the whole cycle of mitigation since it's an area where the solution currently lacks.

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.

t needs additional reporting and intelligence features, as well as enhancements in AI-driven detection, which is still in its early stages.

The only drawback of the solution is that it is expensive.
