Andrew W

VP - Information Technology at a financial services firm with 201-500 employees

Tells us about vulnerabilities as well as their impact and helps to focus on real issues

Looking at all the different pieces, it has got everything we need. Some of the pieces we do not even use. For example, we do not have Kubernetes Security. We are not running any K8 clusters, so it is good for us. Overall, we find the solution to be fantastic. There can be additional education components. This may not be truly fair to them because of what the product is going for, but it would be great to see additional education for compliance. It is not a criticism of the tool per se, but anything to help non-development resources understand some of the complexities of the cloud is always appreciated. Any additional educational resources are always helpful for security teams, especially those without a development background.

Antonio Scola

Owner at SUNLIT TECHNOLOGIES

Offers reliable security support and encourages a safe migration to cloud environments while there is room for better reseller collaboration

I really don't know to tell the truth because we sell many solutions and don't sell exclusively Tenable, so I'm not in a condition to give a precise definition of what could be improved. My perception is this: when customer A needs Tenable Cloud Security, we introduce and demonstrate it. They POC, they appreciate it. The solution serves in such use cases ABC. I am very pragmatic and straightforward - as long as they use or want the solution, I am interested. If they don't, my question is what are the main objections? They may discuss pricing, or they may say they thought the solution had certain technical capabilities that they could not find.

Mani Bommisetty

Infrastructure patching Manager at a manufacturing company with 1,001-5,000 employees

Streamlines vulnerability management with excellent reporting and potential AI integration

Tenable is user-friendly and excels in reporting. It allows me to easily fetch and schedule reports. The software's discovery feature aids in strengthening our security posture. The single-sensor installation process on various operating systems is smooth, unlike Rapid7, which requires different versions for separate systems. Furthermore, Tenable enables vulnerability management through potential AI integration that consolidates efforts and resolves multiple vulnerabilities simultaneously.

Pros

"The monitoring tool has comprehensive monitoring features."

"The remediation process is good."

"With SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security, it's easy to onboard new accounts."

"It used to guide me about an alert. There is something called an alert guide. I used to click on the alert guide, and I could read everything. I could read about the alert and how to resolve it. I used to love that feature."

"The most valuable features are automated threat response, AI detection, and static and dynamic detection."

"We like the platform and its response time. We also like that its console is user-friendly as well as modern and sleek."

"Cloud Native Security is user-friendly. Everything in the Cloud Native Security tool is straightforward, including detections, integration, reporting, etc. They are constantly improving their UI by adding plugins and other features."

"The solution's most valuable features are its ability to detect vulnerabilities inside AWS resources and its ability to rescan after a specific duration set by the administrator."

More SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security pros

"The solution’s vulnerability management feature has helped us identify and mitigate risks well."

"Tenable Cloud Security excels in vulnerability detection, one of its strongest features. Another valuable feature is software composition analysis, which highlights and automates the detection of security flaws.

More Tenable Vulnerability Management pros

Cons

"There can be a specific type of alert showing that a new type of risk has been identified."

"From my personal experience, the alerting system needs to be faster. If something happens in our infrastructure, the alert appears on the dashboard, but I have to log in to the dashboard and refresh it."

"The area of improvement is the cost, which is high compared to other traditional endpoint protections."

"The documentation could be better."

"While the future roadmap presented by SentinelOne appears promising, I hope the envisioned advancements are realistically achievable and that the gap between current offerings and long-term goals is not too significant."

"They could generally give us better comprehensive rules."

"After closing an alert in Cloud Native Security, it still shows as unresolved."

"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security can improve by eliminating 100 percent of the false positives."

More SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security cons

"Ermetic needs to improve its security scanning. I would like to see more dynamic graphical forms."

"Tenable needs to offer a patch-based solution since it is an area where the tool lacks a bit."

"I do think there might be room for more integrations. This could allow for further customization and flexibility, essentially offering different functionality options to accommodate various budgets."

"There is a need for the support team to improve their response time since it is one of the areas where the product's technical team has certain shortcomings."

"I didn't find anything that wasn't useful or needed to be added."

"Due to its robust nature, the platform's adoption can be overwhelming initially. However, once organizations start using it, they tend to get used to it. I haven't had much direct interaction with the support team, but some partners have reported a desire for better support for the product."

"The product must provide more features."

"I have faced several bug incidents with the solution"

More Tenable Cloud Security cons

"t needs additional reporting and intelligence features, as well as enhancements in AI-driven detection, which is still in its early stages."

"The stability has room for improvement."

"The tool's reports are bad. They're not very customizable or flexible. During audits, we often have to exclude things that aren't relevant to our organization, but we can't do that easily with the reports. They come in HTML or PDF format, and we can't compare current results with previous ones in Excel because we never receive reports in Excel."

"Users get confused between VPR and CVSS ratings."

"The only drawback of the solution is that it is expensive."

"I don't recommend Tenable.io Vulnerability Management for web scanning"

"The interface could be improved; right now it's running on two interfaces simultaneously."

"They need to have more dependable and faster support."

More Tenable Vulnerability Management cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"SentinelOne is quite costly compared to other security platforms."

"The features included in PingSafe justify its price point."

"Singularity Cloud Workload Security's pricing is good."

"While SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security offers robust protection, its high cost may be prohibitive for small and medium-sized businesses."

"PingSafe is not very expensive compared to Prisma Cloud, but it's also not that cheap. However, because of its features, it makes sense to us as a company. It's fairly priced."

"While I'm slightly out of touch with pricing, I know SentinelOne is much cheaper than other products."

"It's a fair price for what you get. We are happy with the price as it stands."

"The pricing is fair. It is not inexpensive, and it is also not expensive. When managing a large organization, it is going to be costly, but it meets the business needs. In terms of what is out there on the market, it is fair and comparable to what I have seen, so I do not have any complaints about the cost"

More SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security pricing and cost advice

"The tool's price is good compared to other brands. The tool's subscription is for a year."

"The tool's pricing is fair."

"There is a need to opt for a subscription-based pricing model to use Tenable Cloud Security. I rate the product price an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."

"A yearly payment has to be made toward the solution's licensing costs."

"I would rate the pricing a five out of ten. It is in the middle."

"The cost is determined by the number of endpoints, which is approximately one dollar per endpoint."

"The product costs us around $137,000 annually for 4000 to 5000 assets."

"Yearly payments are to be made toward the licensing cost of the product. It is neither a cheap nor an expensive product."

"Tenable.io is not known for being a cheap product."

"On a scale of one to ten, where one is low, and ten is high price, I rate the pricing an eight. So, it is a pretty expensive solution."

"Tenable.io Vulnerability Management's pricing solution model isn't great."
