AP
Reasonably priced, stable, with out of the box deployment, and has good local support
They have now reworked it. The interface is mobile-friendly and it is getting a good response from our customers. It's a very good feature that the product offers. It is also available as a cloud option, which is getting a lot of interest from customers who are looking into the GRCC. It is very useful, especially in the solution platform. It has good features and good functionality, and our customers feel there is a lot of merit in that. I think that the portal is constantly improving. They do their own enhancements very often. They keep doing those enhancements from their site itself.

It creates a risk score that helps me develop a remediation plan, so the infrastructure team can move quickly to address risks
Tenable Lumin's dashboard helps me understand my vulnerabilities and which tasks I should prioritize for vulnerability remediation. Tenable creates a risk score that helps me develop a remediation plan, so the infrastructure team can move quickly to address risks. Real-time threat intelligence is also helpful. They get multiple sources of intelligence and correlate the data. Lumin discovers your assets through an agent or a network scan. That's an excellent feature that I'm leveraging now to better understand where all my assets are.
