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.

Centralized license management transforms asset manipulation based on functions and improves security posture

Now that the license is centralized, it's a significant feature to manipulate assets based on their functions. It provides a centralized view from end-to-end to its assets' identities and vulnerabilities. One of the greatest features is Kubernetes. The automated scanning capability is pretty standard in the market, and Tenable's prioritization engine helps improve the security posture.

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."

"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 very easy."

"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."

"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."

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

"I would recommend Tenable.io Web Application Scanning to others."

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

"The initial setup is straightforward."

"It is fully automated."

"The most valuable feature is the reporting, which provides a good level of detail with respect to vulnerabilities."

"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

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

"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."

"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."

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

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

"The reporting has a very limited customization capability."

"The technical support needs improvement. Currently, it takes time, which might be due to the free version, but providing some level of support could encourage future purchase decisions."

"The report customization needs to be better."

"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."

"The solution's dashboards could be improved and made more user-friendly."

"Sometimes it lags with different cloud environments."

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

"The cloud and the on-premises versions have their own controllers, and there is no way to centrally manage controllers."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"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."

"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 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."

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

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

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

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

"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."
