We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The interface is fine.""The price of Tenable.io Vulnerability Management is reasonable as it is ten times cheaper than other options.""The solution is quite friendly.""The vulnerability management itself is the most valuable feature as well as references to the mitigation techniques.""One of the most valuable features of Tenable.io Vulnerability Management is its exportability, which allows us to conduct risk assessments efficiently.""The initial setup is very straightforward.""The solution can integrate with third parties and meets standard compliance.""The best feature of the solution is the amount of visibility it provides of the vulnerabilities."

More Tenable Vulnerability Management Pros →

"Out of all the features, the one item that has been most valuable is the fact that Wiz puts into context all the pieces that create an issue, and applies a particular risk evaluation that helps us prioritize when we need to address a misconfiguration, vulnerability, or any issue that would put our environment into risk.""I like Wiz's reporting, and it's easy to do queries. For example, it's pretty simple to find out how many servers we have and the applications installed on each. I like Wiz's security graph because you can use it to see the whole organization even if you have multiple accounts.""The automation roles are essential because we ultimately want to do less work and automate more. The dashboards are easy to read and visually pleasing. You can understand things quickly, which makes it easy for our other teams. The network and infrastructure teams don't know as much about security as we do, so it helps to have a tool that's accessible and nice to look at.""The vulnerability management modules and the discovery and inventory are the most valuable features. Before using Wiz, it was a very manual process for both. After implementing it, we're able to get all of the analytics into a single platform that gives us visibility across all the systems in our cloud. We're able to correspond and understand what the vulnerability landscape looks like a lot faster.""The CSPM module has been the most effective. It was easy to deploy and covered all our accounts through APIs, requiring no agents. Wiz provides instant visibility into high-level risks that we need to address.""Our most important features are those around entitlement, external exposure, vulnerabilities, and container security.""The security baseline and vulnerability assessments is the valuable feature.""The product supports out-of-the-box reporting with context about the asset and allows us to perform complex custom queries on UI."

More Wiz Pros →

Cons
"It's not a user-friendly tool since it has a complicated interface.""The shortcoming of the solution that needs improvement is related to its capability to do vulnerability assessments on applications.""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.""More flexibility is required compared to other solutions.""There needs to be better dashboard navigation.""I don't recommend Tenable.io Vulnerability Management for web scanning""They need to have more dependable and faster support.""The solution’s pricing could be improved."

More Tenable Vulnerability Management Cons →

"The remediation workflow within the Wiz could be improved.""Given the level of visibility into all the cloud environments Wiz provides, it would be nice if they could integrate some kind of mechanism to better manage tenants on multiple platforms. For example, let's say that some servers don't have an application they need, such as an antivirus. Wiz could include an API or something to push those applications out to the servers. It would be great if you could remedy these issues directly from the Wiz platform.""The solution's container security could be improved.""We wish there were a way, beyond providing visibility and automated remediation, to wait on a given remediation, due to a critical aspect, such as the cost associated with a particular upgrade... We would like to see preventive controls that can be applied through Wiz to protect against vulnerabilities that we're not going to be able to remediate immediately.""One significant issue is that the searches are case-sensitive, so finding a misconfigured resource can become very challenging.""We're looking at some of the data compliance stuff that they've got Jon offer. I know they're looking at container security, which we gonna be looking at next.""The only small pain point has been around some of the logging integrations. Some of the complexities of the script integrations aren't supported with some of the more automated infrastructure components. So, it's not as universal. For example, they have great support for cloud formation and other services, but if you're using another type of management utility or governance language for your infrastructure-as-code automation components, it becomes a little bit trickier to navigate that.""Wiz's reporting capabilities could be refined a bit. They are making headway on that, but more executive-style dashboards would be nice. They just implemented a community aspect where you can share documents and feedback. This was something users had been requesting for a while. They are listening to customer feedback and making changes."
