The solution helps users to manage their entire IP range, but it's unreliable and very expensive to maintain

Only the administrator was using the product. He used it to read reports as part of our compliance programs. It wasn't heavily used by a lot of users. The tool comes in at a large scale, and we tried to scale it down. The scaling did not apply to us. It was neither difficult nor easy. I rate the scalability a five out of ten. We had some challenges while scaling it down. It could do 10,000 devices, and we wanted to use it for ten devices. The process was difficult and expensive. We did not need the product anymore.

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

"Tripwire IP360 is a very stable solution."

"It has enhanced the security program by ensuring that all external-facing systems are scanned on a routine basis."

"This product detects vulnerabilities which exist in the environment, and provides enough information that allows for remediation, thereby securing the environment."

"Tripwire is one of the most mature in terms of companies, suites, support, everything, much more than any other product."

"Tripwire IP360 helps me to discover most of the vulnerabilities, and I like the way that it prioritizes these vulnerabilities, as it allows me to focus on the most important ones first and then follow up with the rest."

"We could manage our entire IP range with the solution."

"It's become the pinnacle point for anything that enters the network or anything that's passing through to production to first be affected by IP360, hardened, and up to standard. For our integrity management, one was deployed in the bank about two years ago and that's still going to expand the usage and the product itself. That will go hand in hand with training and expanding the product as for where it's deployed."

"The company probably chose this solution because they thought that they would be getting the best bang for their buck."

"Tenable Security Center is a relatively very good solution, and I don't think it needs improvement; it's a perfect solution."

"The tool provides us insight into the happens of the network and its hosts. It provides me with a list of hosts."

"It's a very useful tool."

"Compliance and vulnerability scans are most valuable; compliance scan helps in validating how our teams are complying, and vulnerability scan helps in future-proofing, and its vulnerability detection is accurate."

"Initial setup was pretty straightforward."

"Tenable is the leading product for vulnerability scanning."

"The solution is one of the most, if not the most, stable product available."

"The installation is very straightforward; it's the easiest solution that I have ever implemented and was completed in no more than one or two minutes."

More Tenable Security Center pros

Cons

"The reporting functions can use improvement."

"The reporting functions can use improvement. There is room for growth because reporting functions differ a lot depending on what you're going to output. It depends on whether it's for technical or senior management and how it's interpreted. There could be growth within the reporting functionality side."

"For IP360, unfortunately, scans for certain vulnerabilities often cause issues, as they are mainly false positive."

"We need to dedicate time and resources to keep it running."

"I am not very impressed by the technical support."

"If you are looking for better reporting capabilities and vulnerability tracking over time for remediation purposes, then this is not the best solution."

"I am not very impressed by the technical support."

"We would like to have better reporting capabilities and for them to be more granular."

"The product could be user-friendly, and they could enhance the web application's security features."

"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 has some problems with agents going offline during scanning and lag between agents and the security center."

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

"One of the challenges that we may have experienced with that platform would be the flexibility of how to modify or create."

"The web application scanning area can be improved."

"Tenable's reporting engine needs improvement. It needs to be more efficient and add more features."

More Tenable Security Center cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product was expensive for us."

"I believe the price compares well within the market."

"The tool costs around 15,000 Saudi riyals monthly."

"Tenable is open-source."

"We're happy with the licensing cost and find it affordable."

"I rate the solution's price as seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive. The tool is quite expensive."

"Tenable.sc is more expensive than its competitors."

"This solution's price is quite high."

"For 500 users the licensing fee is roughly $100,000."

"Though reasonable, the main competitor of Tenable SC, Rapid7, offers a more aggressive and better priced product."
