Unified data access has boosted analytics speed but still needs better governance and cost control
The best feature that Cloudanix offers is the unified data access layer connecting multiple sources, allowing access to all data from one place. It ensures real-time sync data across systems on-demand, keeping data up to date without manual export. It has cross-platform compatibility across AWS, Azure, GCP databases, and SaaS applications, supports hybrid and multi-cloud environments, and simplifies data queries by letting users query multiple sources as if they are one instance, reducing the need for complex ETL pipelines. The best feature of Cloudanix is the ability to unify distributed data sources into a single, scalable, and easy-to-query layer for faster analytics and simple data management. I have seen specific outcomes and metrics such as reducing the time spent on stitching data sets from multiple systems, where queries now run directly across the connected layer. The analysis time drops from thirty to sixty minutes. Reporting cycles improve, with reports generated five times faster. I reduce engineering data team workload by thirty to fifty percent fewer ad hoc data extraction requests and achieve lower infrastructure and pipeline costs, reaching a ten to thirty percent cost saving in data pipelines and ETL maintenance. Moreover, improved decision speed leads to reduction in the decision cycle from days to hours, enhancing data consistency with fewer discrepancies between reports. For example, before Cloudanix, an analyst spent three hours pulling data from three systems and another two hours cleaning and joining it. After using Cloudanix, the same analysis can be done with one unified query that gets results in a minute, allowing focus to shift to interpretation instead of preparation. Consequently, Cloudanix typically delivers major gains in analyst productivity, achieving fifty to eighty percent faster data preparation and faster reporting cycles with reduced engineering workload and lower data pipeline costs by unifying access to distributed data sources.

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.

Cons

"We did conduct a long implementation which relates to what I think can be improved about Tenable Security Center."
"If I want to have a very low-managed scan policy, it's a lot of work to create something which is very basic."

"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."
"We experienced some difficulties with the solution’s support."
"The GUI could be improved to have all concerns and priorities use the same GUI, allowing them to see all tickets, assign vulnerabilities, and assign variation failures to each member of their team."
"Their tier-one, initial tech support is pretty bad."
