SM
Technical Manager at PSR
Provides valuable threat monitoring with robust features but needs improvements in service integration
As a partner with Palo Alto Networks, my email is Sarvajit at bsrgroup.in. My job title is Technical Manager. I confirm that we will publish these reviews on peerspot.com in written or audio format, which can be available to other people, but I can stay anonymous if I wish, and I will get notifications, while the use of the review is subject to PeerSpot's terms of use, accessible at peerspot.com/tos. If Palo Alto has questions or comments about my reviews, they can reach me via email to confirm something. I am interested in being a reference for Palo Alto. The solution is also for enterprise customers only. I see some AI capabilities, such as machine learning, integrated into Palo Alto Networks AutoFocus. ML is present along with behavior analysis, and that is common among all the OEMs nowadays. On a scale from one to ten, I rate this solution a six.
Jaya Shanker - PeerSpot reviewer
IT Security Manager at a insurance company with 1,001-5,000 employees
Has improved our vulnerability tracking and supports cloud-based monitoring with scheduled scans
We don't have any issues with Tenable One Exposure Management Platform. It works well for us, but the only problem is the licensing aspect. In the license, it becomes problematic because when we go to cloud security for vulnerability management, it will take five licenses instead of the one-on-one license that vulnerability exposure management requires. The license needs to be reviewed.

Cons

"I would like to have more technical documentation that contains greater detail on the types of threats that are occurring."
"I would like the tool to see more integration with Cortex XDR. There is no real reason to keep them separate."
