A scalable tool that needs to make its setup phase easier while improving the stability it provides
The initial setup of Tenable.io Container Security is a little bit complex. If you have a bigger cluster or container environment, then the solution's deployment phase may take more than three months since you won't directly go for the solution's block mode. To start things in the solution, you will have to deploy it in SIEM mode, while the detection mode will provide you with visibility in accordance with which you need to take actions for production, which needs time. Regarding the time taken for deployment, for detection, it may not take more than a week, but in production, it may take at least three months to be completed. For the deployment process, there are some scripts available along with some YAML files that you need to run on the cluster, specifically considering the cluster you want to focus more on before creating Tenable Cloud Security Console. After creating Tenable Cloud Security Console, you can proceed with the onboarding process.

Great features, good support, and lots of functionality
I'm an end-user. We use the solution on multiple clouds. I'd advise users to validate which product and metrics will help them the most. The solution has multiple functionalities. Don't go in blindly. Know what you want to get out of the product. I'd rate the solution eight out of ten based on the scalability potential.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The strong security provided by the product in the container environment is its most valuable feature."
"Nessus scanner is very effective for internal penetration testing."
"Tenable.io detects misconfiguration when you deploy a Docker or Kubernetes container. It's much better to remedy these issues during deployment instead of waiting until the container is already in the production environment."
"It helps us secure our applications from the build phase and identify the weaknesses from scratch."
"It is a scalable solution. Scalability-wise, it is a good solution."
"The solution shows you the exploitable vulnerabilities and helps you prioritize."
"The tool's most valuable feature is scanning, reporting, and troubleshooting."
"Currently, I haven't implemented the solution due to its deprecation by the site. However, I can highlight some benefits of Tenable Cloud Security, a cybersecurity solution with various features for scanning vulnerabilities in both cloud environments and on-premises container security."
"They have multiple great features."
 

Cons

"I believe integration plays a crucial role for Tenable, particularly in terms of connecting with other products and various container solutions like Docker or Kubernetes. It seems that in future updates, enhanced integration is something I would appreciate. Currently, there is integration with Docker, but when it comes to Kubernetes or other container solutions, it appears to be a challenge, especially with on-prem scanners."
"The support is tricky to reach, so we would like better-oriented technical support enabled."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"The initial setup is highly complex."
"I feel that in certain areas this product has false positives which the company should work on. They should also try to include business logic vulnerabilities in the scanner testing. Finally, the vulnerability assessment feature should be increased to other hardware devices, apart from firewalls."
"They need to work on auto-remediation so it's easier for the security team to act quickly when certain assets or resources are deployed. The latest version has a CIS benchmark that you need to meet for containers in the cloud, but more automation is needed."
"Tenable.io Container Security should improve integration modules. It should also improve stability."
"The stability and setup phase of the product are areas with shortcomings where improvements are needed."
"We end up facing a lot of issues after upgrades."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the tool's pricing a three out of ten."
"The product does not operate on a pay-per-license model."
"It's best to be an institutional buyer and directly contact the sales team as they can provide over-the-top discounts for bulk orders."
"I rate the product’s pricing a six out of ten."
"The solution's pricing is neither cheap nor very expensive."
