Continuous monitoring has improved OT threat detection and now provides faster, accurate alerts
The best features of Tenable Vulnerability Management include vulnerability scanning, asset discovery, continuous monitoring and alerting, and the ability to report through the dashboard. The dashboard is fully customized towards our environment, and we can use that for our advantage. Out of those features, I find myself relying on the vulnerability scanning the most because it identifies known vulnerabilities and gives us the ability to understand if there is any missing configuration or security configuration. It reduces the exposure to cyber attacks and gives us a detailed view of how the OT environment is functioning. Tenable Vulnerability Management features are great, and the reporting and dashboards are easy and customizable for our environment. The reporting tool gives us immediate information or alerts based on the set parameters that we have within the infrastructure. It gives us a threat level as high, medium, or low, and this can help us to identify or determine if there is any known threat within the environment. The governance and security of Tenable Vulnerability Management is within our control, meaning the user has the power or the authority to work with the AI and to allow the AI to work within your environment in terms of what you want. For instance, the OT environment is something that is very sensitive, and you will not want the AI management tool to take over or to do certain actions within the OT environment. Therefore, as a user, you have control over the AI. Tenable Vulnerability Management provides accuracy and reliable output because it is active, it is real, and it gives updated information. The threats are real based on the alerts that we get, and after reviewing, we are sure that what we see is within our environment and it is accurate.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Overall, I am very happy with the way the product is working."
"This solution is amazing! The most important part is the way it gives access information to the entire infrastructure, the network most importantly."
"If you want to understand your network environment as it relates to configuration issues, host/node vulnerabilities and firewall configurations, then I highly recommend that RedSeal be considered."
"RedSeal integrates the network and gives us a visual or graphical overview of our network. If an organization is geographically dispersed, for instance, with one office in Canada and one office in the Philippines, the whole network, including all devices, is integrated into RedSeal, and you can see from where the traffic is going in and out."
"The most valuable feature of the product to me is being able to ask what-if questions about traffic flows, which is a great ability to have for security and incident response."
"The most valuable feature I enjoy that is provided by this security analytics platform is the ability to measure resilience."
"The most valuable features are network mapping and configuration."
"This is the only solution in the world that gives you a digital resilience score."
"It is a very, very user-friendly tool...The setup is easy"
"Tenable.io Vulnerability Management is an easy-to-use product. I"
"The price of Tenable.io Vulnerability Management is reasonable as it is ten times cheaper than other options."
"Technical support has been good. They respond quite quickly."
"The vulnerability scanning has been great as it's helped us to define some issues around the updates of some things, and some items surrounding services we need to take care of."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"The solution can integrate with third parties and meets standard compliance."
"The solution provides seamlessness, a perfect UI, and identity management for office operations. We are most vulnerable to users. Therefore, it is crucial to implement the right solution to ensure proper user access and resource management."
 

Cons

"There is room for improvement in integrating the OT security part and the private 5G security part in RedSeal."
"There is room for improvement regarding customization and automation of reports."
"Sometimes, it required us to refresh the configuration. When we integrated any of the configurations into the device, sometimes, it could not detect the exact picture of that device. So, we had to reset the device to see that if it was giving true-positive results or false-positive results. In some cases, we were not able to get true-positive results. There was some kind of bug in that version. Its interface is not user-friendly and needs to be improved. It takes time to understand the interface and various options. Skybox has quite a user-friendly interface. They could provide a feature for compliance audit policy if it is already not there. A compliance audit policy ensures that all configurations are based on the best practices standards, such as CIS benchmarks standard or other similar standards. It provides visibility about whether your device configuration is based on best practices or not. Usually, such a feature is provided by other solutions such as Meteor or Tenable Nessus."
"Its interface is not user-friendly and needs to be improved."
"Initially their level one support was very frustrating to work with."
"Although we are talking about a very robust platform, I would like to see the Windows compatible VM version come back."
"Integration with other security tools. Have the ability to create custom reports: Currently, within RedSeal you only have the option to run the canned reports."
"The dashboard should be improved to make correlating data easier to do."
"I would like the solution to cover the whole cycle of mitigation since it's an area where the solution currently lacks."
"It can have more integration."
"It's not a user-friendly tool since it has a complicated interface."
"The solution must be promoted more in the market."
"More flexibility is required compared to other solutions."
"I would not say very expensive for Tenable Vulnerability Management; it is not prohibitive, but at the same time, there are some other tools in the marketplace which are offering the same kind of services that Tenable offers, the same kind of features that Tenable has offered at a lesser cost."
"The price could be lower, and the grouping of platforms on the dashboard can be included in the next release of the product."
"The shortcoming of the solution that needs improvement is related to its capability to do vulnerability assessments on applications."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is based on the number of endpoints and devices, and we have seen it range from mid-five figures to low six figures."
"Tenable.io Vulnerability Management's pricing solution model isn't great."
"The cost is determined by the number of endpoints, which is approximately one dollar per endpoint."
"There are additional features that can be licensed for an additional cost."
"Tenable charges around $40 per device."
"Compared to other VM solutions, Tenable.io Vulnerability Management is expensive."
"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."
"Yearly payments are to be made toward the licensing cost of the product. It is neither a cheap nor an expensive product."
"I would rate the pricing a five out of ten. It is in the middle."
