We performed a comparison between Fortinet FortiDB [EOL] and Tenable Security Center based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Tenable, Wiz, Check Point Software Technologies and others in Vulnerability Management."The biggest thing, for us lately, has been their cloud tools. They're like Intercept X from Sophos, where they'll test for ransomware. Fortinet has the same sort of set up with their cloud devices. So your firewall picks up something suspicious, it sends it up to the cloud for analysis. We also have their in-house antivirus. Having different antivirus checkpoints throughout the network is a good thing as well."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the security aspects."
"We use it to protect files and to prevent users from browsing them while they are being used."
"It is extremely stable, and can expand as per our needs due to its stability."
"The solution is very good at preventing intrusions. You can definitely rely on this solution to cover your security."
"The dashboard is very simple. It has an easy to use interface."
"We really love the Security Center dashboard. It basically performs vulnerability scanning and then outputs a vulnerability data."
"The product is our second solution, and we are happy that it meets our requirements."
"Initial setup was pretty straightforward."
"One of the most valuable features is their distributed scan model for allotting engines to work together as a pool and handle multiple scans at once, across multiple environments. Automatic scanning distribution is a distinguishing feature of their toolset."
"The scans are the most valuable aspect of this solution."
"We use Tenable to scan all of our environments and plugins for vulnerabilities. Tenable helps us discover network vulnerabilities to threats and piracy."
"The most valuable features of Tenable SC are the reports and the dashboards."
"Feature-wise, Tenable Security Center is a very fast tool with many dashboards and reports, and it covers all our systems."
"I'm an old-school guy. I really don't like web GUI interfaces. They're always slow and laggy and their design is restricted, whereas a binary deployment for an admin tool is always faster, easier, more flexible. I would like that kind of functionality from Fortinet."
"Some use case analyses could be improved."
"We had some issues trying to fix some critical bugs, such as the SSL encryption."
"I would like better APIs and integration with other products, like Python and SQL."
"They need to improve the web filter to make it more user-friendly."
"The pricing of this solution is a little bit on the high side and can be improved."
"Tenable SC can improve by adding more integrations with HCI-type tools and more accurate vulnerability detection."
"The web application scanning area can be improved."
"Current web page needs improvement, slows down processes."
"I think the vendor training provided for Tenable.sc could be a lower price. It's quite expensive for the training."
"The solution is expensive."
"The pricing is reasonable, but this could be brought down more aggressively, such as we see with Rapid7, Tenable SC's main competitor."
"The vulnerability scan does not work correctly until the access privileges are set by the system administrator."
"The biggest issue I have with the solution is when I'm using the scanning it picks up the original DNS of that device. That means, before we image it and actually change the DNS to something within our company structure, it'll just be random numbers and letters and Tenable will stick to that DNS for a long time."
