Useful for risk assessment and has customization capability

The tool helps us with security incidents, policies, business continuity, disaster recovery, and internal audits. The feature I like the most is its customization capability. It acts like a blank canvas where you can construct forms and workflows according to your needs. You can configure and customize a lot yourself, whether starting from scratch or using some out-of-the-box options. The solution has impacted our operations by helping us manage and prioritize environmental risks. It also assists in establishing ownership of risks and enables us to mitigate or mediate existing risks. Additionally, it facilitates tracking risks throughout their entire lifecycle.

Windows Security Patching Operation III (Cyber Operations) at CBTS

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.

You can configure and customize a lot yourself, whether starting from scratch or using some out-of-the-box options."

"The product is easy to use."

"The solution can integrate with third parties and meets standard compliance."

"A new user can easily understand the workflow, even if they are creating users for other divisions and the user is a beginner."

"They are on a good trajectory as a company and investing in R&D in the right ways."

"The initial setup is not complex."

"The solution is quite friendly."

"The most valuable feature for me is container scanning because I am interested in CICD security."

"The vulnerability scanning is the most important aspect of the solution for us."

Cons

"We think there's room for improvement, especially with customizing NAVEX One. Their development on the roadmap can be slow."

"The solution must be promoted more in the market."

"The tool's reports are bad. They're not very customizable or flexible. During audits, we often have to exclude things that aren't relevant to our organization, but we can't do that easily with the reports. They come in HTML or PDF format, and we can't compare current results with previous ones in Excel because we never receive reports in Excel."

"They should include better customization of the dashboard, and integration tools."

"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 one drawback that we have found is the reports."

"The pricing of the solution could be more reasonable."

"The reporting was never great in Tenable Vulnerability Management, so, in my company, we imported all the data into Ivanti RiskSense to start using it for reporting."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"NAVEX One's pricing comes in the middle range when compared to other products."

"Tenable.io Vulnerability Management's pricing solution model isn't great."

"On a scale of one to ten, where one is low, and ten is high price, I rate the pricing an eight. So, it is a pretty expensive solution."

"Compared to other VM solutions, Tenable.io Vulnerability Management is expensive."

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

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

"There are additional features that can be licensed for an additional cost."

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

"Tenable charges around $40 per device."
