"This product has the best results in terms of the lowest number of false-positives and false-negatives."
"Compliance and vulnerability scans are most valuable. Compliance scan helps in validating how our teams are complying, and vulnerability scan helps in future-proofing. Its vulnerability detection is accurate."
"The usability is really good. It's very easy to use and a good platform. It is scalable and very stable. The technical support is fine and the setup is super easy."
"I like Tenable.sc's analytics and reporting. You can also configure your on-prem network monitors to talk to your Tenable.sc control panel."
"Tenable also helps us to focus resources on the vulnerabilities that are most likely to be exploited. And since it is continuously updated, it allows us to reevaluate quickly if there are new vulnerabilities found..."
"It basically reviews our threat landscape vulnerability."
"Tenable.sc's best features are the availability model, accident management, and scoring."
"The feature we've liked most recently was being able to take the YARA rules from FireEye and put them into Tenable's scan for the most recent SolarWinds exploit. That was really useful."
"There are numerous outdated exploits in their database that should be updated."
"Advanced Infrastructure should be implemented in the next release for better orchestration."
"At the time I was using it, the graphical user interface needed some improvements."
"If your company's patch is not up to date, but you have other detection or defense solutions such as endpoint detection and response and antivirus software, the product exploit may not work effectively. This is because its exploit database update process is slow and not real-time. For zero-day vulnerabilities or new security threats, relying on Rapid7 Metasploit alone may not be effective."
"Better automation capabilities would be an improvement."
"Rapid7 Metasploit can add a GUI feature because it is only available online."
"It is necessary to add some training materials and a tutorial for beginners."
"The solution is not very scalable, it does not provide any automation to be able to scale it."
"The solution should include compliance-based scanning."
"The web application scanning area can be improved."
"Tenable's reporting engine needs improvement. It needs to be more efficient and add more features."
"The reporting side can be improved. The dashboards are nice, but exporting things out for reports for management was a little tough."
"The product should provide risk-based vulnerability management."
"Security can always be improved."
"The solution needs to improve its support. I would like to see a bird's eye view of my network architecture. I would also like to see the continuous view feature in the tool."
"Tenable.sc's user interface could be improved."
