Useful for penetration testing but reporting functionality needs improvement
Pros and Cons
  • "It's a recommended tool for penetration testers because it's effective for that purpose."
  • "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."

What needs improvement?

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.

For how long have I used the solution?

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

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Tenable Vulnerability Management is stable. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

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

How are customer service and support?

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.

How was the initial setup?

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.

What other advice do I have?

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.
