Gaurav Chandola - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides detection logic that tells us which customer will record an update and is less expensive than other solutions
I haven't had experience with customer service and support, however, we did have an advisory case with one of their technical support staff. We were publishing and getting the full metadata for the patch. We were getting the full updates for the patch release. There was confusion as to why we were seeing that in the SCCM, instead of in the full metadata patch. The support person was able to help us in understanding what we were doing wrong, highlighting it could be a certificate issue. We generated a new certificate, and after they were applied, the issue was fixed. Overall, I would rate their customer service and support a five out of five.

Mani Bommisetty - PeerSpot reviewer
Streamlines vulnerability management with excellent reporting and potential AI integration
Tenable is user-friendly and excels in reporting. It allows me to easily fetch and schedule reports. The software's discovery feature aids in strengthening our security posture. The single-sensor installation process on various operating systems is smooth, unlike Rapid7, which requires different versions for separate systems. Furthermore, Tenable enables vulnerability management through potential AI integration that consolidates efforts and resolves multiple vulnerabilities simultaneously.

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product costs us around $137,000 annually for 4000 to 5000 assets."
"Tenable.io is not known for being a cheap product."
"Yearly payments are to be made toward the licensing cost of the product. It is neither a cheap nor an expensive product."
"The total cost we pay for this solution is over 45K. This is for a large education organization."
"Tenable.io Vulnerability Management's pricing solution model isn't great."
"The cost is determined by the number of endpoints, which is approximately one dollar per endpoint."
"I would rate the pricing a five out of ten. It is in the middle."
"Tenable charges around $40 per device."
