Tenable.io Vulnerability Management pros and cons

The solution's most valuable feature is providing a single pane of visibility on all the infrastructure and its status.

Tenable.io, in particular, is quite a powerful product. It looks at your traditional environment, which is pretty much anything that is on-premises, and it also goes a step ahead and covers your modern assets, which is anything that is currently sitting in the cloud. You get complete visibility of your entire environment and tech operation. The ability to give you visibility across the entire tech surface is one of the biggest advantages that Tenable.io has.

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 mostly straightforward.

The solution is easy to use and configuration is smooth with no complexities.

The solution creates vulnerability tickets within the VM profile but should also include them under the Remediation tab so the fixes can be viewed in the ticketing queue.

A new user can easily understand the workflow, even if they are creating users for other divisions and the user is a beginner.

There is no burden of updating or upgrading this solution.

It is pretty stable. I would rate it nine or maybe ten.

The initial setup is not complex.

The interface is fine.

I would like the solution to cover the whole cycle of mitigation since it's an area where the solution currently lacks.

They've been able to think about everything in terms of where the world is going and the type of assets that you've got. They've everything sorted out in that aspect, but you have to pay for most of the other components that they've got to give you complete visibility across your tech surface. If it already had those capabilities in-built, without having to add them on to take advantage of them, it would be a very compelling value proposition.

The UI has room for improvement.

I'd like to see them improve their support.

The initial setup is complex and has room for improvement.

The price could be lower.

They should include better customization of the dashboard, and integration tools.

The one drawback that we have found is the reports.

The solution is a bit slow.

Tenable could improve visibility into assets, including automated asset tagging. You should be able to automatically tag assets based on location, function, ownership, etc. That would help us because we spend a lot of time identifying and tagging assets by hand.
