Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"With its automated approach, nothing is missed on the IPs your organization is related to.""I rate the product's initial setup phase a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is a difficult setup phase, and ten is an easy setup process.""One of its most effective features for risk identification is its enterprise-ready automation for third-party risk measurements.""The solution helps identify our environment's vulnerabilities."

More SecurityScorecard Pros →

"The integration of Tenable into our security ecosystem was very good.""The price of Tenable.io Vulnerability Management is reasonable as it is ten times cheaper than other options.""The initial setup is pretty straightforward.""Technical support has been good. They respond quite quickly.""They are on a good trajectory as a company and investing in R&D in the right ways.""It's a recommended tool for penetration testers because it's effective for that purpose.""The dashboard is pretty intuitive, and it lets you do a drill-down analysis of each vulnerability. That is something that brings a lot of value to the organization.""The solution creates vulnerability tickets within the VM profile but should also include them under the Remediation tab so the fixes can be viewed in the ticketing queue."

Cons
"The tool needs to have the ability to mitigate vulnerabilities with alternative solutions.""There could be more information in regards to solving problems like hints on what specifically to look for.""SecurityScorecard's technical team's response time is an area that my company expects to be made faster.""They could improve the process with a questionnaire module for the product."

More SecurityScorecard Cons →

"There needs to be better dashboard navigation.""Users get confused between VPR and CVSS ratings.""The user interface could be improved by being able to change the user interface to fit your position or your job. The graphs are set in stone and you can only print reports.""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 solution seems to focus too much on enterprises, and they really need a product that works for SMBs.""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.""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.""The solution must be promoted more in the market."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The pricing could be split into a lower-paid tier for smaller organizations and another higher tier for others with a more security-focused outlook. $1000 per month is more than some companies pay for their internet connections in total. UPDATE: they have a new 400$ a month tier for starters."
  • "Even though it's competitive, they offer flexible pricing structures."

  • "There are additional features that can be licensed for an additional cost."
  • "The solution is not too expensive."
  • "Tenable.io Vulnerability Management's pricing solution model isn't great."
  • "The total cost we pay for this solution is over 45K. This is for a large education organization."
  • "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."
  • "Tenable.io is not known for being a cheap product."
  • "A yearly payment has to be made toward the solution's licensing costs."
