Allows us to configure the risk algorithm to suit our specific needs
I would give the easiness of the initial setup a seven out of ten. It can be a bit complex. Some connections are straightforward, but some take a long time. Deploying Brinqa took time, as it was done in phases. Initially, it took about six months before we started getting valuable data from it. Then, it expanded from there. The deployment began with a product demo and contract negotiation. We connected some data sources to Brinqa's cloud service, which was straightforward. We used the default risk ranking algorithm but faced issues with the dashboards, so we customized them to fit our organization's needs over a few years. We depended a lot on Brinqa for the deployment. We had some internal resources, but they lacked the needed skills, so it took time to train our two-man team. Initially, it required one person for maintenance, and they spent most of their time on it.

Centralized analytics have strengthened patch visibility and support efficient regulatory reporting
From my experience, I assess the product's analytics capabilities as successful. It helped us significantly with patching and managing the risk of the patching process across all our environments, including network devices with Windows and Unix systems. The product covered several environments and gave us exactly what we needed in our environment. Tenable Security Center's centralized platform helped with risk assessment and management across our IT environments. It covered the patching process, and we previously faced many issues regarding how to patch different environments, how to monitor the patching process, and whether it was successful or not. We obtained good reports showing when patches were closed and the details of each patch, including who executed it and everything related to the patching process until it was closed. This gave us good details about the process which helped us significantly in our reporting and even in audits, whether internal or external. We learned how to close audit issues safely and successfully. We used the dashboards for real-time threat insights and extracted several dashboards from Tenable Security Center. We use these dashboards in our cybersecurity dashboard and committees that we have. These dashboards are part of our committees, especially the cybersecurity committee and other committees that we attend.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features of Brinqa are its data integration capabilities."
"This product has the best results in terms of the lowest number of false-positives and false-negatives."
"The ROI is almost guaranteed because there is a lot of value in using the product and reporting that to our company."
"Very customizable with a lot of templates."
"The Auto-Remediate feature is good."
"The most valuable features of Tenable SC are the reports and the dashboards."
"I found the dashboard features very useful. It made it easy to track remediation progress. I could publish dashboards to remediation teams and track the progress on the dashboards."
"We use Tenable to scan all of our environments and plugins for vulnerabilities, and Tenable helps us discover network vulnerabilities to threats and piracy."
"The tool's dashboard and reporting capabilities match our company's needs since we are able to modify the basic view to create a new dashboard, and it works out very well for our needs."
 

Cons

"Brinqa could improve in terms of the speed of their service and resource provision."
"To be honest, I find SecurityCenter to be lacking in too many ways where my usage of it has been concerned."
"The reporting side can be improved. The dashboards are nice, but exporting things out for reports for management was a little tough."
"The dashboard templates are limited."
"The solution should provide better web application features and support."
"One of the challenges that we may have experienced with that platform would be the flexibility of how to modify or create."
"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."

"We did conduct a long implementation which relates to what I think can be improved about Tenable Security Center."
