Find out in this report how the two Vulnerability Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI.
The time saved includes processes such as software installation, as previously we needed to take a user device remotely, but with Kandji, we can initiate software installation from the back end, which is a significant time saver.
We went from one hour for resolution time per device to 15 minutes, allowing us to save more than 50 hours of support time in a year.
I have seen a return on investment with Kandji, estimating that time saved is at least 20 to 30%, as individuals do not have to figure out which security updates to carry out themselves since the notification is pushed for them to review and install.
The customer support at Kandji is phenomenal and is the best I have experienced from any vendor.
The customer support is the best I have ever seen.
You just go to the help section and can chat directly to get instant support.
We received support within one to three hours.
Whenever any issue arises, we contact the support, and they are always there for us.
The technical support is good yet could improve in terms of response time.
Kandji's scalability is quite good, though I do see a concern once organizations start getting really large and need more flexibility.
I think Kandji is a perfect choice for growing small companies that become medium-sized or even bigger.
Kandji's scalability is perfect, as my organization grew from 180 to almost 300 devices with no bottlenecks.
Whether managing 50 servers today or 500 tomorrow, performance or capacity are not hindered.
Tenable Nessus is definitely scalable, especially for license formats designed for scalability.
We have not encountered any issues with missing network items or errors in API and webhook interactions.
The stability of Tenable Nessus is extraordinary.
The simplicity and straightforwardness are its strongest attributes.
However, it often takes more than thirty minutes to execute the command, and sometimes it fails.
I hope there is an easier way to sandbox people's bring your own device devices because when we're doing SOC 2, it really wants us to sandbox things so that if someone were to take a device that is not ours, we could delete just our data off there and not theirs.
This is Tenable's property. They want to sell Tenable Security Center, and they closed all the API capability for Tenable Nessus Professional.
An AI feature that helps them discover options without requiring them to deep dive into all features or guides them through advisory functions would be beneficial.
The documentation is not well-organized, which can be confusing when searching for solutions or specific information related to Tenable Nessus Professional.
It is cheap.
The pricing is not published publicly, requiring interaction with sales representatives for details.
While it might be on the expensive side compared to Jamf Pro, it is closer in pricing to other MDMs such as Microsoft Intune, which comes with the EMS E3 license.
The pricing for Tenable Nessus has increased significantly, tripling over the last few years.
Tenable Nessus's pricing is adequate if it is fully utilized.
When we compare it to other solutions, it is more difficult for us to negotiate the price for Tenable Nessus than to negotiate the price with Rapid7.
Kandji has impacted my organization positively by definitely increasing security because it notifies you when an update is ready to be installed, and if you do not install it within a reasonable time frame, it would automatically install it.
It is reliable, a modern approach to managing Apple devices, and with features in blueprints, smart apps, and consistently reliable performance, I do not think Jamf really comes close.
The Auto Apps function is brilliant. It takes 20 seconds to push out a new app, and it automatically updates. This function really saves time.
I mostly use the configuration audit feature for the audit configuration as a scan policy, and I will use it for credential audit, which helps me scan credentials access such as local administrator or root access, performing a deeper and more accurate check of local configuration settings and file systems, making it a highly recommended feature.
The scanning and reporting features are the most valuable aspects of Tenable Nessus.
The most valuable features of Tenable Nessus include its ease of access and quick usability.
