Simple solution and good WAF

Sucuri could provide help for specific security alerts in-line instead of requiring users to search for it in the help section. Users get errors or EBAs, and if they want to read about it, they need to find it in the help section of the site. It would be more helpful to allow users to see more information and tips immediately from within the alert.

Simple tool to use, good dashboard capabilities and offers asset criticality ratings

It has good dashboard capabilities and gives good results with priority ratings, asset criticality ratings, and exposure scores for vulnerabilities. It also provides automated web application scanning, which customers appreciate because it doesn't disturb the web application or hamper the business. While testing the web application, sometimes it happens that the website or application goes down. But with Tenable.io Web Application Scanning, it doesn't affect the business. It has good unified web application scanning and exposure management.

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."

"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."

"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."

"It collects the vulnerabilities on the hostnames and sends them to the Tenable.io cloud. Tenable has its own cloud where Tenable.io is running, but there are many connectors to other cloud solutions. Tenable can do vulnerability scanning for other cloud managers such as Azure, Amazon, and so on."

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

"The initial setup is straightforward."

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

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

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

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

"We can get detailed information about vulnerabilities."

More Tenable.io Web Application Scanning pros

Cons

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

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

"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."

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

"The dashboard could be more user-friendly."

"The market is standard for vulnerability scanning, however, the posture can be improved through Tenable's prioritization engine."

"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."

"Sometimes it lags with different cloud environments."

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

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

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

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."

"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."

"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."

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

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

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

"The pricing is okay."

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

"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."

What is your experience regarding pricing and costs for Sucuri?

The pricing is very reasonable. Sucuri offer other features as an add-on, such as backup, but these have an additional cost. We host the sites ourselves, so I don't take it because it was redundant.
