"Compliance and vulnerability scans are most valuable. Compliance scan helps in validating how our teams are complying, and vulnerability scan helps in future-proofing. Its vulnerability detection is accurate."
"The scans are the most valuable aspect of this solution."
"The most valuable features of Tenable SC are scanning, reporting, dashboards, and automation."
"The most valuable features of Tenable SC are the reports and the dashboards."
"The most valuable features in Tenable SC are scanning and analysis."
"The solution is one of the most, if not the most, stable product available."
"Has a great advanced scanning feature."
"The most valuable feature of the product is the Assurance Report Card, which gives us an overview of the security poster in just a simple glance."
"There is no burden of updating or upgrading this solution."
"It is pretty stable. I would rate it nine or maybe ten."
"One of the most valuable features of Tenable.io Vulnerability Management is its exportability, which allows us to conduct risk assessments efficiently."
"The solution's most valuable feature is providing a single pane of visibility on all the infrastructure and its status."
"The solution can integrate with third parties and meets standard compliance."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"The most valuable feature for me is container scanning because I am interested in CICD security."
"The solution is quite friendly."
"The product should provide risk-based vulnerability management."
"Security can always be improved."
"Certain aspects require manual effort, such as exporting and analyzing data for our dashboards. The built-in components of the Tenable solution are somewhat clumsy that require external tools. So, this is an area of improvement."
"If I want to have a very low-managed scan policy, it's a lot of work to create something which is very basic. If I use a tool like Nmap, all I have to do is download it, install it, type in the command, and it's good to go. In Security Center, I have to go through a lot of work to create a policy that's very basic."
"There's a lot of information being streamed out of the reports. What would be nice, and maybe we just haven't found it, would be more of an executive-type view. We still expect it to collect all this information, but we would like a feature that would allow us to show it to an executive or a director or someone like that and give them some type of high-level overview but not get into the nitty-gritty."
"Tenable SC can improve by making it easier to create complicated reports and have more effectiveness in the remediation area for comparison between the scans."
"The integration is very good, although it still needs to improve."
"The pricing is reasonable, but this could be brought down more aggressively, such as we see with Rapid7, Tenable SC's main competitor."
"It can have more integration."
"They need to have more dependable and faster support."
"The stability has room for improvement."
"Another area of improvement is customer service and support. Tenable needs to include support in the pricing/license. Currently, they push clients to get support from partners or channel distributors, who often charge a lot."
"The initial setup is complex and has room for improvement."
"The UI has room for improvement."
"It's not a user-friendly tool since it has a complicated interface."
"I'd like to see them improve their support."
