Web audits have identified vulnerabilities and now provide clear visibility into compliance gaps
We have experience with Tenable.io Web Application Scanning, and we use it as well; we have approximately ten licenses for web application scanning. We use it to find vulnerabilities, but Tenable.io Web Application Scanning does not include remediation; we remediate with other products. We use the…

Long-term endpoint security has protected our organization from ransomware and data loss
Trellix IVX for Enterprise Applications Collaboration is not something we are currently using. We are not using FireEye Email Security right now. We are not using the cloud version of this product. It is not difficult to manage because our team is very well trained and aware of Trellix IVX for Enterprise Applications endpoint security because we have been using it for more than 20 years. Our team is very well trained on the endpoint security. However, because we have a very distributed architecture of our organization, it is very difficult to change or replace on laptop or desktop computers. At most, only two or three engineers are involved. Trellix IVX for Enterprise Applications is very robust and easy to handle data loss protection, which are very good features. We are also using Fortinet products. The vendor team is also monitoring and does proactive measures to protect from ransomware and other security threats. We have a service level agreement with the local vendor to maintain the solution and solve other issues. The overall review rating for this product is 8 out of 10.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Now that the license is centralized, it's a significant feature to manipulate assets based on their functions."
"The most valuable feature is the reporting, which provides a good level of detail with respect to vulnerabilities."
"Tenable.io Web Application Scanning is very easy to use, provides very reliable results, and is easily managed by someone who lacks prior knowledge, information, or experience."
"It is fully automated."
"Our primary use case for the solution is automated scanning; it doesn't require scripting knowledge or any of those suites or other tools, so it is fully automated, and we provide the credentials and URL and the tool does all scanning and will show the result per the requirement."
"Our customers adopt this solution because of the replication testing and the vulnerability assessment it can do. It is a multi-faceted product."
"I think Tenable.io Web Application Scanning is the best option on the market at the moment."
"It has good unified web application scanning and exposure management."
"Trellix IVX for Enterprise Applications has positively impacted my organization over the past four years, serving as one of the best security tools I have used."
"Trellix IVX for Enterprise Applications is very robust and easy to handle data loss protection, which are very good features."
"We actually saw reduced incidents with Trellix IVX for Enterprise Applications, and it has reduced the response time for us because if there is a detection of high severity, Trellix IVX for Enterprise Applications detects it quickly and we are able to respond to it promptly."
"Trellix IVX for Enterprise Applications positively impacts my organization by increasing security and reducing time, especially by using threat intelligence to validate signatures across all platforms, thus minimizing manual work."
 

Cons

"The technical support should be improved. Currently, some attacks are detected while others are not."
"Sometimes it lags with different cloud environments."
"The cloud and the on-premises versions have their own controllers, and there is no way to centrally manage controllers."
"The dashboard could be more user-friendly."
"We have encountered some problems with the technical support from Tenable; I would rate it a five out of ten. It is not efficacious, especially the first-level support."
"I would like for them to add proxy filtering, where you can transfer and alter the package. It is fully automated. Other web application testers programs are actually proxy software, and the proxy software gives you the flexibility of modifying the outgoing package, which will actually help you in exploiting any vulnerability in detail."
"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."
"Customer support for Trellix IVX for Enterprise Applications is very good in theory. However, you must follow up with them for weeks and weeks for a single issue."
"Overall I find the platform useful; however, there should be ease of navigation and more actionable reporting to make investigations faster and the overall experience more efficient."
"I think Trellix IVX for Enterprise Applications can be improved by adding more involvement of artificial intelligence."
"The weak side is that it sometimes slows down the desktop computer or laptop computer."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the product's pricing a four out of ten."
"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."
"The pricing is okay."
"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."
"It follows the same licensing scheme as Tenable.io and Tenable. sc."
"For Tenable.io Web Application Scanning, it comes to around 6,50,000 Indian rupees, plus taxes."
