Service Coordinator - Technology Security at a government with 10,001+ employees

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.

Windows Security Patching Operation III (Cyber Operations) at CBTS

Have maintained accurate vulnerability scans and gained actionable remediation insights across thousands of servers

Tenable Vulnerability Management agents are very lightweight, and the results we get are very accurate. The solutions they provide to us, assuming if one vulnerability exists, there will be a solution. The resolution they give us in wording will be the best solution. The exploit rates and the reports we get provide a lot of information, making it very easy for us to verify.The main benefit of integration with Tenable Vulnerability Management is that there will be no lack of missing vulnerabilities when it comes to the patching environment. That is one of the key aspects of why we have integrated Tenable to our patching tools. It has a vast capacity of pushing the data to our tools due to its capability and compatibility. That is also one of the reasons why we are using Tenable Vulnerability Management.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."

"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."

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

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

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

"Tripwire IP360 is a very stable solution."

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

"The vulnerability scanning has been great as it's helped us to define some issues around the updates of some things, and some items surrounding services we need to take care of."

"The stability is excellent."

"It is very stable, and it is updated periodically by adding new vulnerabilities."

"They are on a good trajectory as a company and investing in R&D in the right ways."

"Tenable.io, in particular, is quite a powerful product; it looks at your traditional environment, which is pretty much anything that is on-premises, and it also goes a step ahead and covers your modern assets, which is anything that is currently sitting in the cloud, so you get complete visibility of your entire environment and tech operation, and the ability to give you visibility across the entire tech surface is one of the biggest advantages that Tenable.io has."

"The solution's most valuable aspects are its user interface and usability."

"The most valuable feature for me is container scanning because I am interested in CICD security."

"The solution's most valuable feature is providing a single pane of visibility on all the infrastructure and its status."

Cons

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

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

"The reporting functions can use improvement."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"The interface could be improved; right now it's running on two interfaces simultaneously."

"I don't recommend Tenable.io Vulnerability Management for web scanning"

"The biggest problem with the solution is that if you're a small company, you're not going to be able to afford it, nor are you going to be able to manage it."

"Tenable.io Vulnerability Management could be improved with an increased number of dashboards and MSSP integration."

"The interface could be improved; right now it's running on two interfaces simultaneously."

"The solution must be promoted more in the market."

"I would like the solution to cover the whole cycle of mitigation since it's an area where the solution currently lacks."

"The initial setup is complex and has room for improvement."

More Tenable Vulnerability Management cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"The product was expensive for us."

"Tenable.io is not known for being a cheap product."

"On a scale of one to ten, where one is low, and ten is high price, I rate the pricing an eight. So, it is a pretty expensive solution."

"The tool is reasonably priced."

"The solution is not too expensive."

"Yearly payments are to be made toward the licensing cost of the product. It is neither a cheap nor an expensive product."

"A yearly payment has to be made toward the solution's licensing costs."

"There are additional features that can be licensed for an additional cost."

"Tenable charges around $40 per device."
