We performed a comparison between Tenable.io Vulnerability Management and Tenable SC based on our users’ reviews in four categories. Our conclusion is presented below.
Comparison Results: Tenable SC comes out ahead when it comes to the user interface and product support. However, it is an on-prem solution only, while Tenable.io Vulnerability Management is available for both cloud or on-prem deployment and is noted as integrating well with third-party solutions.
"The usability is really good. It's very easy to use and a good platform. It is scalable and very stable. The technical support is fine and the setup is super easy."
"Tenable SC's most valuable features are the low number of false positives and the strong capability of providing prioritization for the vulnerabilities detected."
"The most valuable feature of the product is the Assurance Report Card, which gives us an overview of the security poster in just a simple glance."
"I think that this is a good solution for evaluating vulnerability in the network."
"The most valuable features in Tenable SC are scanning and analysis."
"Initial setup was pretty straightforward."
"What is useful to me is being able to fulfill very customized scanning policies. In the clinical environment, because of vendor control, we can't perform credential-vulnerability scanning. And network scans, which I've done before, can cause a lot of impact. Being able to create very customized policies to be able to routinely scan and audit our clinical networks, while simultaneously not causing impact, is important to us."
"The Auto-Remediate feature is good."
"The vulnerability management itself is the most valuable feature as well as references to the mitigation techniques."
"The dashboard is pretty intuitive, and it lets you do a drill-down analysis of each vulnerability. That is something that brings a lot of value to the organization."
"The integration of Tenable into our security ecosystem was very good."
"The vulnerability scanning is the most important aspect of the solution for us."
"The product is easy to use."
"The solution is very simple to use."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"The solution is easy to use and configuration is smooth with no complexities."
"I think the vendor training provided for Tenable.sc could be a lower price. It's quite expensive for the training."
"The product should provide risk-based vulnerability management."
"Its reporting can be improved. It is not easy to generate a scan report the way we want. The data is okay, but we can't easily change the template to make it look the way we want."
"The solution is expensive."
"The tool's initial configuration is not so easy."
"Current web page needs improvement, slows down processes."
"We are facing some challenges related to our channel."
"It's good at creating information, it's good creating dashboards, it's good at creating reports, but if you want to take that reporting metadata and put it into another tool, that is a little bit lacking."
"They need to have more dependable and faster support."
"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 solution seems to focus too much on enterprises, and they really need a product that works for SMBs."
"The user interface could be improved by being able to change the user interface to fit your position or your job. The graphs are set in stone and you can only print reports."
"I'm not satisfied with the reporting structure."
"The interface could be improved; right now it's running on two interfaces simultaneously."
"We'd like to see a bit more user-friendliness."
"The price could be lower."
