Tenable Vulnerability Management Reviews

Before, they did not have an agent-based solution. Last year, they developed one. For example, before, when users were roaming or working from home, we wouldn't be able to scan previously. Now, we can cover anyone, even off-site. 

The most valuable feature is the configuration audit. 

The interface is fine. 

We haven't had issues with support.

The solution is easy to deploy and maintain. 

The solution can scale well.

The entire product is very easy to use. 

The solution is a bit slow. It should be faster. They could improve the performance. 

We primarily use the solution for vulnerability management and confidential information detection, for example, credit card information. We also use it for configuration management. 

The scalability is great. I'd rate it nine out of ten. A company can expand it if they would like to. 

Technical support is okay. The issue is they don't have a team based in India. Sometimes, it's hard to get support on time. However, they are pretty helpful. 

We are also using Tenable.sc, version 6.0.

The initial setup is pretty straightforward. I'd rate the process eight out of ten overall. It is not overly complex. 

We can implement the solution in one week in one region. 

In terms of maintenance, we only really need one person. That's enough.

I do not manage the licensing or pricing. My team handles this aspect.

We did test multiple other solutions.

I'm an end-user.

This is an agent-based solution. There isn't a specific version we use.

The solution is very user-friendly if you compare it to other tools. I'd rate it eight out of ten. 

The solution is mainly for vulnerability scanning management. It's more like an extension of the Nessus.

I like the ten points of scanning. 

The performance is good.

It is quite straightforward to set up.

The solution is stable, and it is quite scalable. 

We'd like to see a bit more user-friendliness. They need to work on that aspect of the solution.

We've recently adopted the solution and have been dealing with it for just over a year or so.

The product offers good performance. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. 

This is a scalable solution. It's easy to expand. 

I'm not sure how many users there are, however, my understanding is there are more than ten people.

We've never had any real difficulties, and therefore we haven't really dealt with support.

The solution is easy to set up. It's straightforward. It's not overly complex. 

It's based on landscape dependencies. However, it's easily deployed. It can take a few weeks to set up. If you are deploying across the globe, it might take longer. 

I don't work in an area that would keep track of ROI. I can't say we have been following that.

We pay for an annual license.

If there are extra fees, it depends on what use cases you want to deploy. If you want to use simple vulnerability management and you want to extend it to application scanning, then pricing modules will be different.

I'd recommend the solution to others. 

I would rate the solution nine out of ten.

Tenable.io Vulnerability Management is used as a unified platform for vulnerability management.

Tenable.io Vulnerability Management could be improved with an increased number of dashboards and MSSP integration.

I've been working with Tenable.io Vulnerability Management for five years.

Tenable.io Vulnerability Management is stable.

Tenable.io Vulnerability Management is scalable.

Tenable doesn't provide support beyond documentation.

Neutral

The initial setup is straightforward so long as your infrastructure, components, and networks are in place. There are also a few teaching issues post-migration, like integration with third parties and SEO integrations.

Tenable.io Vulnerability Management gives a good ROI in the long run, though it would be better with a pay-as-you-go model.

Tenable.io Vulnerability Management's pricing solution model isn't great. Providing a pay-as-you-go option would be an improvement.

Tenable is a full-service product, but it still has a lot of improvements to make, so I'd recommend exploring other products before implementing it. I would give Tenable.io Vulnerability Management a rating of nine out of ten.

The tool's reports are bad. They're not very customizable or flexible. During audits, we often have to exclude things that aren't relevant to our organization, but we can't do that easily with the reports. They come in HTML or PDF format, and we can't compare current results with previous ones in Excel because we never receive reports in Excel.

I have been using the product for a year, and my organization has been using it for six to seven years. 

Tenable Vulnerability Management is stable. 

I rate the tool's scalability a seven out of ten. 

The solution's support is okay, but it could be more customer-friendly. The people providing support have knowledge, but they could improve customer interaction.

The tool's deployment can be challenging, especially for those unfamiliar with Kali Linux, as it operates on this platform. This might make the setup process difficult for users accustomed to other operating systems like Windows. It may take a couple of tries to get comfortable with the process. However, once you have set it up a few times, it becomes easier.

Sometimes, we use the tool for tasks like configuration and running scans. However, it's a bit difficult to use compared to Qualys. One issue we've noticed is that it takes up a lot of space, which customers often complain about. They promised more system coverage and updates, but it isn't happening.

I rate Tenable Vulnerability Management a seven out of ten. It might be challenging if you're used to working on Windows. However, it's a recommended tool for penetration testers because it's effective for that purpose.

We use it for audit and PT. 

The solution scans vulnerabilities in assets like workstations, network devices, desktops, or laptops. The product indicates vulnerabilities based on severity levels. There are high, critical, medium, low, and informational levels of severity.

The product can scan assets and web applications. It provides remediation for each vulnerability it scans. We get to know the actions we have to take to remediate the vulnerabilities. The solution is very simple to use. It also has cloud scanners. We can integrate Tenable and Nessus Scanner. It is easier to use.

The solution must provide penetration testing.

I have been using the solution since 2022.

The tool is very stable.

The tool is scalable.

We don't have many issues.

Positive

The initial setup is very easy.

We use the software to manage vulnerabilities in our environment.

The product’s most valuable feature is remediation. It shows a list of vulnerabilities per server once you scan on cloud or on-premise instances. It helps us create remediation projects and assign the console’s responsibility to specific engineers. We can set up a follow-up date depending on the organization's requirements.

The product could be easier to set up on the cloud.

We have been using Tenable Vulnerability Management for three years.

I rate the platform's stability an eight out of ten. Once, a few of our subsidiaries complained that channel usage in the environment was consuming bandwidth.

We have five admins using Tenable Vulnerability Management in our organization. I rate the product’s scalability a seven out of ten. It has many features, and it is complicated to train someone on how to use Tenable. You have to schedule a session every day for almost two weeks for it.

It was challenging to contact the technical support team earlier. However, we have found the right contact and can reach out to them easily.'

I have used open-source applications before.

The product is complicated to set up on AWS. However, it is easy to implement on-premises. It involves discovering IP addresses and schedule scanning. It requires acquiring some knowledge about the process to familiarize yourself with the AWS environment. We have to complete the setup for the whole environment. The deployment for a vast environment involves migrating a lot of data from on-premise to the cloud.

We execute the implementation for most of the tools in-house. We take help from third-party vendors for the rest of it.

I rate Tenable Vulnerability Management a nine out of ten. I advise you to choose Tenable.iO as it is a cloud-based solution.

We use the solution to scan our environment, ServicePRO. 

You can customize each point in new scans. 

I don't recommend Tenable.io Vulnerability Management for web scanning. 

I have been working with the product for two years.

Support is okay. However, we've had issues with them. I've had difficulties raising cases.  They need to be more responsive and need to get back to us faster. 

Neutral

The initial setup is easy. I've had no issues with the setup process. 

I'm not sure what the pricing is. I don't handle licensing.

Last year we evaluated it with other solutions. We were looking for a new or additional product to extend our expertise beyond Tenable. We did look into Qualys, among others. 

I'd rate the solution nine out of ten. I'm happy with its capabilities. 

Our primary use case for this solution is to satisfy the requirement for vulnerability assessments regarding internal assets, CPI assets and web applications. We deploy the solution on private cloud.

The ease of use in terms of scanning assets is valuable, and it has a diverse checklist when it comes to vulnerability databases. Hence, it has a comprehensive database for exploits and vulnerabilities, which is why we continue using it.

The response times from the customer service and support team could be improved. Additionally, the pricing could be better.

We have been using the solution for approximately four years.

The solution is stable.

The solution is scalable, and we currently have 15 users utilizing it.
