Executive SummaryUpdated on Oct 9, 2024

Tenable Vulnerability Management and Morphisec are strong competitors in the cybersecurity domain. Tenable has an advantage in vulnerability management due to its comprehensive scanning capabilities, whereas Morphisec excels in endpoint security with its innovative protection features.

Features: Tenable Vulnerability Management offers comprehensive vulnerability scanning and seamless integration with third-party solutions. It provides visibility across traditional and cloud environments and supports continuous monitoring with agents. Morphisec offers endpoint security focusing on signatureless protection and memory morphing, providing defense against zero-day attacks. It also has a single console that ensures full visibility, beneficial for small teams.

Room for Improvement: Tenable users suggest the need for customizable dashboards, better integration for SMBs, and improved support, with complex reporting and pricing as concerns. Morphisec could enhance its reporting and customer interaction, along with improving alert systems for updates. Both solutions have room to grow in dashboard functionality and user communication.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Tenable provides deployment options across public, private, on-premises, and hybrid clouds, although its technical support is criticized for slow response times and documentation issues. Morphisec is recognized for easy deployment and commendable technical support, but could integrate better with non-Microsoft antivirus solutions.

Pricing and ROI: Tenable is perceived as expensive for SMBs, with potential for a pay-as-you-go option to enhance value, yet it delivers a good ROI by identifying vulnerabilities. Morphisec's competitive pricing offers solid ROI, seen as more affordable compared to enterprise solutions like CrowdStrike, providing robust protection features that make it a cost-effective selection over traditional antivirus solutions.

Rick Schibler

VP of Information Technology at Kentucky Trailer

Offers in-memory protection at a lower price than competitors

Morphisec's in-memory protection is probably the most valuable feature because it stops malicious activity from occurring. If something tries to install or act as a sleeper agent, Morphisec will detect and stop it. Morphisec's Moving Target Defense is critical to hardening our attack surface. If it detects something, it indicates whether it's valid. That means you've got a breach requiring investigation. It detects anomalies but doesn't necessarily point to what caused them. You still need to do that work. The solution is reasonably easy to administer. They made some changes last year, adding a cloud-based monitoring solution that makes deploying and monitoring our endpoints easy.

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

"Morphisec also provides full visibility into security events for Microsoft Defender and Morphisec in one dashboard... in the single pane of glass provided by Morphisec, it's all right there at your fingertips: easy to access and easy to understand. And if you choose to go down further to know everything from the process to the hash behind it, you can."

"Since we started using Morphisec, that hasn't happened even once."

"In a month, we are saving the effort of four to five days, and earlier we used to have a dedicated person and now we don't need a dedicated resource, which has reduced our security spending and we are saving approximately $600 a month."

"Morphisec makes it super easy for our IT team to prevent breaches of critical systems; it is a one-click install, then it takes care of the rest."

"Morphisec makes use of deterministic attack prevention that doesn’t require investigation of security alerts. It changes the memory locations of where certain applications run. If you think of Excel, opening a PDF, running an Excel macro, or opening a webpage and clicking on a link, all of those actions run in a certain area of memory. Morphisec changes the memory locations of where those run."

"What's valuable is really the whole kit and caboodle of the Morphisec agent."

"The ability to stop attacks without having to detect or have a signature for the attack is the most valuable feature."

"We have seen it successfully block attacks that a traditional antivirus did not pick up."

More Morphisec pros

"Tenable Vulnerability Management is the backbone of our vulnerability management and has affected my organization positively."

"Technical support has been good. They respond quite quickly."

"The ease of use, the automated scanning facility, and their good support mechanism are all valuable."

"I would rate Tenable's dashboards and reporting capabilities for illustrating security posture a nine out of ten, with ten being the best."

"The initial setup is mostly straightforward."

"The product is easy to use."

"One of the most valuable features of Tenable.io Vulnerability Management is its exportability, which allows us to conduct risk assessments efficiently."

"The initial setup is straightforward so long as your infrastructure, components, and networks are in place."

More Tenable Vulnerability Management pros

Cons

"The dashboard is the area that requires the most improvement."

"Some of the filters for the console need improvement. There are alerts that show up and just being able to acknowledge that we've seen those and not turn them off, but dismiss them, would be a huge benefit."

"We sometimes have to depend on the support team to know what action we should take."

"The only problem is that their support lives in Israel, so the time zones are a bit off, but I've never had any complaint beyond that."

"Automating reports needs improvement. I would like to have better reporting capabilities within it or automated reporting to be a little bit more dynamic. That's something I know they're working on. We literally are in the process. We started the process a week and a half ago of going to their latest version, so I've not seen their latest one up and running yet."

"Right now, it's just their auto-update feature. I know they are currently working on that."

"It would be useful for them if they had some kind of network discovery."

"Sometimes it generates false positive alerts. They need to continue working on that."

More Morphisec cons

"Tenable Vulnerability Management is not very effective for real-time risk prioritization for our organization's security strategy."

"An area of improvement for this solution is being able to customize the dashboard."

"The solution seems to focus too much on enterprises, and they really need a product that works for SMBs."

"It would be helpful if Tenable could be more clear with regard to everything the solution can and cannot do with the particular license that you have."

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

"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."

"Tenable could improve visibility into assets, including automated asset tagging. You should be able to automatically tag assets based on location, function, ownership, etc. That would help us because we spend a lot of time identifying and tagging assets by hand."

"The shortcoming of the solution that needs improvement is related to its capability to do vulnerability assessments on applications."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It does not have multi-tenants. If South Africa wants to show only the machines that they have, they need their own cloud incidence. It is not possible to have that in a single cloud incidence with multiple tenants in it, instead you need to have multiple cloud incidences. Then, if you have that, it will be more expensive. However, they are going to change that, which is good."

"Price-wise, it's on the higher side. A traditional antivirus solution is cheaper, but in terms of security and manageability, its ROI is better than a traditional antivirus. I would recommend it to anybody evaluating or considering an antivirus solution. If your system gets compromised, the cost of ransom would be a lot more. This way, it saves a lot of cost."

"Morphisec is reasonably priced because our parent company's other subsidiaries use different products like CrowdStrike. CrowdStrike is four or five times more expensive than Morphisec. The competitive pricing saves us money in our overall security stack."

"It is a little bit more expensive than other security products that we use, but it does provide us good protection. So, it is a trade-off."

"It is priced correctly for what it does. They end up doing a good deal of discounting, but I think it is priced appropriately."

"It is an annual subscription basis per device. For the devices that we have in scope right now, it is about $25,000 a year."

"We are still using a separate tool. I know for our 600 or I think we're actually licensed for up to 700 users, it runs me 23 or $24,000 a year. When you're talking to that many users plus servers being protected, that's well worth the investment for that dollar amount."

"Our licensing is tied into our contract. Because we have a long-term contract, our pricing is a little bit lower. It is per year, so we don't get charged per endpoint, but we do have a cap. Our cap is 80 endpoints. If we were to go over 80, when we renewed our contract, which is not until three years are over. Then, they would reevaluate, and say, "Well, you have more than 80 devices active right now. This is going to be the price change." They know that we are installing and replacing computers, so the numbers will be all over the place depending on whether you archive or don't archive, which is the reason why we just have to keep up on that stuff."

More Morphisec pricing and cost advice

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

"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."

"The product costs us around $137,000 annually for 4000 to 5000 assets."

"The cost is determined by the number of endpoints, which is approximately one dollar per endpoint."

"The total cost we pay for this solution is over 45K. This is for a large education organization."

"Tenable charges around $40 per device."

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