Helps efficiently in incident response management and has an easy setup process

I can view the alarms within the platform and subsequently implement various security measures in response. It assists with incident response by providing alerts and visual representations of different security events. However, the effectiveness can vary, and sometimes more effort is required for resolution. DDoS attacks, including detection of DTO POS and identification of malicious IPs, are critical aspects of security to ensure the availability and performance of your systems. The real-time monitoring feature provides enough services to meet the requirements of our security infrastructure. I rate Redware Cloud Native Protector a ten out of ten.

Empower clients with risk-based vulnerability management through continuous workflow and valuable insights

Tenable Security Center could improve by implementing more dynamic data displays and translating reports into European languages. This is especially relevant in Central Eastern Europe, where clients often require reports in local languages. Additionally, the licensing model could be more flexible for managed security providers, similar to a pay-as-you-go model.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It helps us in reaching the ISO27001 certification."

"The initial setup process is easy and intuitive."

"The most valuable features of Tenable SC are scanning, reporting, dashboards, and automation."

"Tenable SC is good for reporting and alerting. The filtering feature is also very valuable. Its integration with multiple vendors is quite good. It can be integrated with SIEM solutions and PAM solutions such as Thycotic, which is very helpful."

"Tenable SC's most valuable features are the low number of false positives and the strong capability of providing prioritization for the vulnerabilities detected."

"What is useful to me is being able to fulfill very customized scanning policies. In the clinical environment, because of vendor control, we can't perform credential-vulnerability scanning. And network scans, which I've done before, can cause a lot of impact. Being able to create very customized policies to be able to routinely scan and audit our clinical networks, while simultaneously not causing impact, is important to us."

"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."

"One of the most valuable features is their distributed scan model for allotting engines to work together as a pool and handle multiple scans at once, across multiple environments. Automatic scanning distribution is a distinguishing feature of their toolset."

"Tenable Security Center scans networks and gives reports."

"The most valuable feature is the automatic and periodic management of security scans, along with the ability to consolidate all information into a single dashboard."

More Tenable Security Center pros

Cons

"The solution needs automatic testing."

"The platform’s interface needs enhancement."

"There's a lot of information being streamed out of the reports. What would be nice, and maybe we just haven't found it, would be more of an executive-type view. We still expect it to collect all this information, but we would like a feature that would allow us to show it to an executive or a director or someone like that and give them some type of high-level overview but not get into the nitty-gritty."

"The solution should include compliance-based scanning."

"The reports and plugins for reports and scans could benefit from enhancements."

"The integration is very good, although it still needs to improve."

"I think the vendor training provided for Tenable.sc could be a lower price. It's quite expensive for the training."

"Tenable SC can improve by adding more integrations with HCI-type tools and more accurate vulnerability detection."

"Certain aspects require manual effort, such as exporting and analyzing data for our dashboards. The built-in components of the Tenable solution are somewhat clumsy that require external tools. So, this is an area of improvement."

"The vulnerability scan does not work correctly until the access privileges are set by the system administrator."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"It is slightly more expensive than other solutions in the same sphere."

"For 500 users the licensing fee is roughly $100,000."

"The tool provides competitive pricing."

"We're happy with the licensing cost and find it affordable."

"We're a Fortune 500 company... our licensing costs [are] in the seven figures."

"Costing is pretty reasonable compared to the competition."

"I use a local license to perform penetration testing and I'm pretty happy with everything when it comes to pricing and licensing."

"Though reasonable, the main competitor of Tenable SC, Rapid7, offers a more aggressive and better priced product."
