We performed a comparison between Skybox Security Suite and Tenable Security Center based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Vulnerability Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The performance could be good because we chose it at the time, but it is too complex for us to appreciate its performance because we lack the necessary skills."
"We are currently working on rule review and compliance. The logging features are good."
"Skybox deployment is simple, and it's very useful."
"The most valuable features are Firewall Assurance and Vulnerability Control."
"instead of asking for firewall rules which may or may not be relevant, or could already be there, or could be over-permissioned, Skybox can be used to map out the resources that that application is going to use and provide the exact rules that an application would require to function correctly. If the traffic isn't able to flow for the application, if it's erring out, Skybox can be used to troubleshoot that and say, "All right, where is the traffic being stopped and why, and how do I fix that.""
"The product's most valuable feature is vulnerability management."
"Robust modules can be used for different parts of network security."
"The revalidation and policy recertifications are most valuable."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the vulnerability assessment."
"It's a very useful tool."
"Feature-wise, Tenable Security Center is a very fast tool with many dashboards and reports, and it covers all our systems."
"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."
"The solution has a lean and easy-to-use interface that is not confusing to first-time users."
"We really love the Security Center dashboard. It basically performs vulnerability scanning and then outputs a vulnerability data."
"Tenable.sc is user-friendly."
"We use Tenable to scan all of our environments and plugins for vulnerabilities. Tenable helps us discover network vulnerabilities to threats and piracy."
"The vendor's support is terrible."
"The initial setup with Skybox Security is hard. You need one or two strong security engineers on your team."
"Modifications and the deletion of existing policies are currently unavailable."
"During implementation, we realised approximately 30 devices were not supported by the Skybox platform."
"There is room for improvement in pricing. It would be better, especially if a customer bought all four modules."
"Change Manager can be improved. If they can improve Change Manager so that whatever we want to do on a firewall, we are able to do it through Change Manager, it will be helpful for us. Whenever we are doing a change, it only does them at an L3 and L4 level, but all the firewalls are at the application layer. So, whatever needs to be done on the firewall, we aren't able to get it done through Change Manager. Currently, this functionality is not there because of which we are sometimes losing customers. I can create a role on Layer 3, Layer 4, but when it comes to the application layer, such as configuring and defining URLs or other things at the application level, it can't be done through Change Manager. Customers demand that they should be able to do everything through Change Manager. They don't want to do it through some other mechanism to accomplish their complete change management policy. They don't want to use a firewall manager because sometimes, they don't have any manager. They ask if they can use our solution so that a manager is not required. If Change Manager can do all the management automatically without involving any other manager, it will be great. They can also provide better integration with other managers so that everything can be done through a central point."
"The most recent update was not tested with all of the vendors before it was released, so some of the features are misbehaving."
"The Network Assurance, which helps to create the network model, is not so rich."
"The web application is not very functional."
"We are facing some challenges related to our channel."
"The solution's user interface has some issues."
"Tenable SC can improve by adding more integrations with HCI-type tools and more accurate vulnerability detection."
"For downloading reports, we have to go to the scan and then we have to go to the reports and download the Excel or CSV or PDF. I think these menus and clicks can be minimized."
"The web application scanning area can be improved."
"Current web page needs improvement, slows down processes."
"The product could be user-friendly, and they could enhance the web application's security features."
