Windows Security Patching Operation III (Cyber Operations) at CBTS
Have maintained accurate vulnerability scans and gained actionable remediation insights across thousands of servers
Tenable Vulnerability Management agents are very lightweight, and the results we get are very accurate. The solutions they provide to us, assuming if one vulnerability exists, there will be a solution. The resolution they give us in wording will be the best solution. The exploit rates and the reports we get provide a lot of information, making it very easy for us to verify.The main benefit of integration with Tenable Vulnerability Management is that there will be no lack of missing vulnerabilities when it comes to the patching environment. That is one of the key aspects of why we have integrated Tenable to our patching tools. It has a vast capacity of pushing the data to our tools due to its capability and compatibility. That is also one of the reasons why we are using Tenable Vulnerability Management.

Proactive exploit intelligence has transformed how we prioritize real-world vulnerability risks
VulnCheck needs improvement in terms of data. It is primarily an intelligence and data layering system and not a complete vulnerability management platform. This means that it lacks native patch workflows, so you do not have asset discovery as you would with Tenable or Qualys. You will require other tools to act on the data that you find, which necessitates engineering time for API integration, data mapping, and tuning. Additionally, not all exploit signs are clear; some can be noisy or ambiguous, so teams need to apply their judgment. Finally, the time to value is not instant; it requires integration, workflow changes, and team training. I think VulnCheck is an excellent tool and valuable data resource. However, if you wish to send alerts via an API to platforms like Rapid7 or Tenable VM, you will need to integrate that with a SIEM solution to perform any kind of risk management.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The price of Tenable.io Vulnerability Management is reasonable as it is ten times cheaper than other options."
"The stability has been very good overall."
"The product is easy to use."
"It is very stable, and it is updated periodically by adding new vulnerabilities."
"The product offers good performance, with no bugs or glitches, and it doesn't crash or freeze."
"The solution's most valuable feature is providing a single pane of visibility on all the infrastructure and its status."
"Overall, I am quite happy with Tenable.io."
"Tenable is user-friendly and excels in reporting."
"With VulnCheck's early exploit visibility, I can remediate vulnerabilities quickly, making timely decisions before the vulnerabilities are known to the public and hackers."
"The clear prioritization based on risk is probably the biggest day-to-day benefit."
"VulnCheck has shifted the mindset within my organization and my partners from a reactive to a more proactive approach."
 

Cons

"The biggest problem with the solution is that if you're a small company, you're not going to be able to afford it, nor are you going to be able to manage it."
"t needs additional reporting and intelligence features, as well as enhancements in AI-driven detection, which is still in its early stages."
"More flexibility is required compared to other solutions."
"We'd like to see a bit more user-friendliness. They need to work on that aspect of the solution."
"I don't recommend Tenable.io Vulnerability Management for web scanning"
"The solution must be promoted more in the market."
"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."
"I would not say very expensive for Tenable Vulnerability Management; it is not prohibitive, but at the same time, there are some other tools in the marketplace which are offering the same kind of services that Tenable offers, the same kind of features that Tenable has offered at a lesser cost."
"VulnCheck's UI and reporting can be improved for better visibility."
"VulnCheck needs improvement in terms of data."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is not too expensive."
"Compared to other VM solutions, Tenable.io Vulnerability Management is expensive."
