Andrew W - PeerSpot reviewer
Tells us about vulnerabilities as well as their impact and helps to focus on real issues
Looking at all the different pieces, it has got everything we need. Some of the pieces we do not even use. For example, we do not have Kubernetes Security. We are not running any K8 clusters, so it is good for us. Overall, we find the solution to be fantastic. There can be additional education components. This may not be truly fair to them because of what the product is going for, but it would be great to see additional education for compliance. It is not a criticism of the tool per se, but anything to help non-development resources understand some of the complexities of the cloud is always appreciated. Any additional educational resources are always helpful for security teams, especially those without a development background.

Good technical support, secures our services and mobile devices against malware
We use this solution as a firewall to protect against malware The most valuable features of this solution are the advanced firewall and malware prevention. The mobile device solution is very good. One of the areas that this solution can be improved is in Behavioural monitoring. In the next…

Empower clients with risk-based vulnerability management through continuous workflow and valuable insights
Tenable Security Center could improve by implementing more dynamic data displays and translating reports into European languages. This is especially relevant in Central Eastern Europe, where clients often require reports in local languages. Additionally, the licensing model could be more flexible for managed security providers, similar to a pay-as-you-go model.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I recommend SentinelOne due to its high-security capabilities, which are essential to safeguard data and systems from potential threats."
"The real-time detection and response capabilities overall are great."
"It is pretty easy to integrate with this platform. When properly integrated, it monitors end-to-end."
"It is fairly simple. Anybody can use it."
"The UI is responsive and user-friendly."
"It is scalable, stable, and can detect any threat on a machine. It uses artificial intelligence and can lock down any virus."
"The ease of use of the platform is very nice."
"The most valuable feature of SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security is its integration with most of our technology stack, specifically all of our cloud platforms and ticketing software."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the advanced firewall and malware prevention."
"The scanning part, the agent part – that's the valuable aspect."
"The solution is one of the most, if not the most, stable product available."
"We really love the Security Center dashboard. It basically performs vulnerability scanning and then outputs a vulnerability data."
"Tenable's most valuable features are the credential scan, vulnerability reports, and vulnerability ratings (VPR)."
"The solution is completely stable and operation is user-friendly."
"Tenable also helps us to focus resources on the vulnerabilities that are most likely to be exploited. And since it is continuously updated, it allows us to reevaluate quickly if there are new vulnerabilities found..."
"The most important features are the dashboard and reporting. The dashboard provides statistics with graphs and bar charts for our management."
"Has a great advanced scanning feature."
 

Cons

"It is not a criticism of the tool per se, but anything to help non-development resources understand some of the complexities of the cloud is always appreciated. Any additional educational resources are always helpful for security teams, especially those without a development background."
"There should be more documentation about the product."
"There's room for improvement in the graphic explorer."
"There's an array of upcoming versions with numerous features to be incorporated into the roadmap. Customers particularly appreciate the service's emphasis on intensive security, especially the secret scanning aspect. During the proof of concept (POC) phase, the system is required to gather logs from the customer's environment. This process entails obtaining specific permissions, especially in terms of gateway access. While most permissions for POC are manageable, the need for various permissions may need improvement, especially in the context of security."
"I have noticed that the dashboard occasionally gets stuck, potentially due to internet issues. It could benefit from enhancements to be more robust and smoother."
"A vulnerability alert would appear, and we'd fix it, but then the same alert would return the next day."
"They need more experienced support personnel."
"The areas with room for improvement include the cost, which is higher compared to other security platforms. The dashboard can also be laggy."
"One of the areas that this solution can be improved is in Behavioural monitoring."
"It could be more user-friendly for creating custom reports."
"I think the vendor training provided for Tenable.sc could be a lower price. It's quite expensive for the training."
"We are facing some challenges related to our channel."
"The integration is very good, although it still needs to improve."
"I will say it's a lot slower compared to an MS scan. It takes so much longer, so the performance could definitely be worked on."
"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."
"Tenable SC can improve by adding more integrations with HCI-type tools and more accurate vulnerability detection."
"Tenable's reporting engine needs improvement. It needs to be more efficient and add more features."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"SentinelOne is relatively cheap. If ten is the most expensive, I would rate it a seven."
"SentinelOne is quite costly compared to other security platforms."
"PingSafe is priced reasonably for our workload."
"SentinelOne provided competitive pricing compared to other vendors, and we are satisfied with the deal."
"It is cost-effective compared to other solutions in the market."
"The price depends on the extension of the solution that you want to buy. If you want to buy just EDR, the price is less. XDR is a little bit more expensive. There are going to be different add-ons for Singularity."
"Pricing is based on modules, which was ideal for us."
"PingSafe's pricing is good because it provides us with a solution."

"We're happy with the licensing cost and find it affordable."
"The price can start at €10,000 ($13,000 USD) for between 500 and 1,000 assets, and the price can climb into the millions as more assets are added."
"The pricing depends upon the number of IPs."
"I would rate the pricing a nine out of ten, where ten is expensive. It is the most expensive tool my company is using."
"The licensing costs for this solution are approximately $100,000 US, and I think that covers everything."
"The price of Tenable SC is expensive, we pay approximately €70,000 for the license annually. We have to pay for each IP test. The cost of other solutions is far less, such as Nessus Professional, which is €3,000 annually."
"We pay around 60,000 on a yearly basis."
"The tool provides competitive pricing."
