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.

Web audits have identified vulnerabilities and now provide clear visibility into compliance gaps

We have experience with Tenable.io Web Application Scanning, and we use it as well; we have approximately ten licenses for web application scanning. We use it to find vulnerabilities, but Tenable.io Web Application Scanning does not include remediation; we remediate with other products. We use the…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

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

"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."

"Rather than locate some things manually, the Sucuri plugin scans and allows us to pinpoint whether there is malware or some problem in the site."

"The initial setup was very easy."

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

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

"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."

"For people who own a personal website, this solution is worth trying out since their security solution is somewhat full-fledged."

"Our primary use case for the solution is automated scanning; it doesn't require scripting knowledge or any of those suites or other tools, so it is fully automated, and we provide the credentials and URL and the tool does all scanning and will show the result per the requirement."

"The initial setup is straightforward."

"We use the tool for our websites. We have a vulnerable subdomain. The tool helps to scan it for vulnerabilities."

"The product provides comprehensive details and reports to help us understand everything and handle any patches in order to keep our system safe."

"All the features are valuable to us as they offer cutting-edge scanning methods and address the latest issues with a contemporary approach. Tenable.io Web Application Scanning is highly stable. I rate it a nine out ten. Since the solution works on the Cloud, it's highly scalable. I rate the scalability a nine out of ten. The setup of the solution is straightforward. The Return on Investment is substantial. I recommend the solution to all."

"Our customers adopt this solution because of the replication testing and the vulnerability assessment it can do."

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

"Tenable.io Web Application Scanning provides a detailed report, identifying functions that are complex and need to be more maintainable and readable."

Cons

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

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

"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."

"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."

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

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

"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."

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

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

"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 conducts a general scan, which wastes time. The scan needs to be specific."

"The platform's technical support services could be better."

"We have encountered some problems with the technical support from Tenable; I would rate it a five out of ten. It is not efficacious, especially the first-level support."

"Sometimes it lags with different cloud environments."

"The reporting has a very limited customization capability."

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

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

"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."

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

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

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

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

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

"The pricing is okay."

"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."

"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."
