We performed a comparison between Skybox Security Suite and Tenable Vulnerability Management 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."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 most valuable features are the rule compliance and the OS vulnerability checks."
"When you import all the assets that you have, like desktops, servers, networks, devices, routers, and then firewalls, and other products, then Skybox makes like, a model of the network, but with context. So, it is not just a model in VIZIO. Or something like it like that. You get the model with context, and, like, it looks like a real network in a real-time. So you can check your network and the security of your network on that model."
"Aside from Firewall Assurance, we are using Network Assurance and Change Manager for an overview of the whole network and for documenting requests and the recertification of the ruleset."
"The way that it's built with three-tier architecture, it makes it very horizontally scalable, so I can have multiple fallbacks. If one machine does fall offline, there are four other machines that are doing the exact same job to pick it up"
"Security review is the most important feature, because it offers a single pane of glass to analyze multiple firewalls."
"The revalidation and policy recertifications are most valuable."
"I am impressed with the tool's change management, firewall and network assurance."
"The initial setup is mostly straightforward."
"The product is easy to use."
"The vulnerability management itself is the most valuable feature as well as references to the mitigation techniques."
"The solution is very simple to use."
"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."
"The initial setup is not complex."
"Technical support has been good. They respond quite quickly."
"A new user can easily understand the workflow, even if they are creating users for other divisions and the user is a beginner."
"The most recent update was not tested with all of the vendors before it was released, so some of the features are misbehaving."
"It's expensive."
"Skybox should improve their UX features by making them easier to use."
"The solution needs to move improve its interface to a full web browser version that is more accessible and doesn't require installation for use."
"If anything could be improved it would be staying on top of the collector scripts, but I understand that's a very tough challenge."
"They are not satisfied with the complexity of the solution and the price."
"Skybox Security Suite can improve the change management module. It is the one part of the tool that is used with the firewall devices and you have a change management module that is used to record changes of all firewalls in the company. It's not compatible with all brands, this is where they can improve the solution."
"The support could be improved."
"The solution seems to focus too much on enterprises, and they really need a product that works for SMBs."
"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."
"I don't recommend Tenable.io Vulnerability Management for web scanning"
"I'm not satisfied with the reporting structure."
"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."
"They need to have more dependable and faster support."
"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."
"An area of improvement for this solution is being able to customize the dashboard. For example, the dashboard does not allow us to view a previous months vulnerability results alongside current results to make comparisons."
