Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It helped with some of the regulatory requirements. It also helped with some of the security analytics and analysis. It was worthwhile from that perspective.""The reporting features are good and there are many built-in reports that can be quickly configured.""The most valuable feature is that it provides a simple English recommendation on actions that you need to take once a vulnerability is discovered."

"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.""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.""The solution is very simple to use.""The product is easy to use.""The best feature of the solution is the amount of visibility it provides of the vulnerabilities.""The price of Tenable.io Vulnerability Management is reasonable as it is ten times cheaper than other options.""The ease of use in terms of scanning assets is valuable."

Cons
"It was not as easy to use. The user-friendliness of it was somewhat lower than what I was expecting. It was also lacking in terms of the ease of the setup. There should be an automatic agent for deployment.""The interface could be improved by having sub-groups of tests, ultimately making the process of collecting tests faster.""Building policies is not that easy. There are some things that are turned off by default, for example, displaying values."

"They've been able to think about everything in terms of where the world is going and the type of assets that you've got. They've everything sorted out in that aspect, but you have to pay for most of the other components that they've got to give you complete visibility across your tech surface. If it already had those capabilities in-built, without having to add them on to take advantage of them, it would be a very compelling value proposition.""I don't recommend Tenable.io Vulnerability Management for web scanning""The solution seems to focus too much on enterprises, and they really need a product that works for SMBs.""Another area of improvement is customer service and support. Tenable needs to include support in the pricing/license. Currently, they push clients to get support from partners or channel distributors, who often charge a lot.""The stability has room for improvement.""We'd like to see a bit more user-friendliness.""I would like the solution to cover the whole cycle of mitigation since it's an area where the solution currently lacks.""I'd like to see them improve their support."
