A cost-effective choice for website security and informative support with issues related to CDN quality

One area where they could improve is in providing real-time support options because now you need to open a support ticket and wait for their response. It would greatly benefit customers if they implemented an online chat or messaging system for quicker assistance. I have found their Content Delivery Network service to be lacking in quality, and it could certainly be enhanced to provide better performance. I would also like to see improvements in the deployment process, as it currently takes more time than desirable. Another significant concern is that their service when your website is down, turns it into a static site. This means that if customers try to visit your site during downtime, they will see old content from the static site, which is not ideal. The CDN and tracking services are areas that need improvement, as well as addressing their bandwidth limitations.

Provides detailed reports that improve code maintainability while needing better coverage reports and technical support

Tenable.io Web Application Scanning provides a detailed report, identifying functions that are complex and need to be more maintainable and readable. It offers features such as generating an executive summary and detailed reports highlighting issues in specific lines of the code. However, it does not provide coverage reports in the free version, which is a limitation.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The initial setup was straightforward. Straight forward because the plugin can simply be installed and then it does its job. It's not complex, there is no learning curve. The online scan is simple, you put in the website address and the scan gives us a report on the browser itself. It's simple to use."

"The initial setup was very easy."

"The most valuable part is the analytics and visualization."

"I use it as a WAF, which is basically a web firewall to monitor and block traffic to our web server."

"It significantly eases the workload and streamlines the initial setup required to protect a website."

"Domain name scanning since it allows us to scan all our domain names and determine whether it has malware or if is reported as phishing."

"Our customers adopt this solution because of the replication testing and the vulnerability assessment it can do. It is a multi-faceted product."

"Now that the license is centralized, it's a significant feature to manipulate assets based on their functions."

"The most valuable features of Tenable.io Web Application Scanning are the integration into specific use cases and scanning. All of the features of the solution are useful."

"It is fully automated."

"Tenable.io Web Application Scanning is very easy to use."

"The solution's instant reports feature is the most effective for detecting threats."

"The initial setup is straightforward."

"Tenable provides the end analysis results covering all the published vulnerabilities and information on the market."

Cons

"In terms of improvement, the cost factor is always there."

"The main improvement I would like to see is support for .NET applications. If they could include this feature, I would include more sites in the protection."

"Sucuri could provide help for specific security alerts in-line instead of requiring users to search for it in the help section."

"Confident score: Currently it does not have one and there are cases that most websites flagged are false-positives."

"I would rate this solution an eight out of ten. The reason is that we have found sometimes customers or Google saying that there is something wrong with the website but Sucuri says that the site is clean so we do have to look at the site manually which means that the Sucuri scan does not pick up anything and everything."

"It would greatly benefit customers if they implemented an online chat or messaging system for quicker assistance."

"It would be great if there were a dashboard that is more user-friendly."

"Tenable.io Web Application Scanning conducts a general scan, which wastes time. The scan needs to be specific."

"The report customization needs to be better."

"The dashboard could be more user-friendly."

"It isn't easy to manage vulnerabilities in Tenable."

"The technical support should be improved. Currently, some attacks are detected while others are not."

"They have a general dashboard for web application scanning, but the dashboards and reporting can be improved. They probably have some features in their roadmap."

"Tenable.io Web Application Scanning could improve by offering faster fuzzing."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Sucuri offers different plans, both the standard plan and an advanced plan. So there are different plans to choose from."

"It stands out as a more cost-effective option compared to other cloud-based security services like Cloudflare or JetPass."

"The ROI has been very good. Because of the solution, I have a tax break. The site developers were not always experienced people. We used to pay more for cleaning up the site when it was infected. Now, we have peace of mind knowing that the solution will clean up the site and that we won't have to go through the unnecessary process of restoring it from a backup. The protection on the WAF and the measures for backups have also prevented our site from going down."

"I’d simply say it’s really worth it."

"The pricing is okay."

"The application is extremely affordable. There are no additional costs involved with licensing. We switched to Tenable.io Web Application Scanning from other solutions due to pricing."

"Tenable.io Web Application Scanning is expensive for small businesses."

"I rate the product's pricing a four out of ten."

"For Tenable.io Web Application Scanning, it comes to around 6,50,000 Indian rupees, plus taxes."

"The price of the solution is reasonable compared to the competitors. The license cost is based on the number of users and the annual usage."

"It follows the same licensing scheme as Tenable.io and Tenable. sc."
