Tenable Vulnerability Management Valuable Features

Regarding vulnerability management, the web application scanning is okay. The assist agents are bringing more value to the product by getting the vulnerabilities addressed early with real-time response. This is better, rather than waiting for the scans to run or something like that.
The initial setup is not complex.
It's a stable product.
We can scale the solution.
View full review »The solution is more user-friendly than Rapid7 InsightVM. A new user can easily understand the workflow, even if they are creating users for other divisions and the user is a beginner. They can easily use the system to get the data they need or fulfill their requirements.
View full review »The risk prioritization is a good feature.
Tenable lets you categorize vulnerabilities based on severity (zero-day, critical, high, medium, low) so clients can focus on patching the most urgent issues first.
I would rate Tenable's dashboards and reporting capabilities for illustrating security posture a nine out of ten, with ten being the best.
Tenable already covers firewalls, web applications, and patch management very well.

The dashboard is pretty intuitive, and it lets you do a drill-down analysis of each vulnerability. That is something that brings a lot of value to the organization.
View full review »It is a very, very user-friendly tool. To make some sense, you just need to put in your domain and click a button to scan and give you a piece of customized information about your infrastructure. It is very easy to use to schedule a scan, and it can consume a lot of CPU resources. So, you can schedule a scan between 1 AM to 3 AM, and it works very well for us.

The solution's most valuable feature is providing a single pane of visibility on all the infrastructure and its status. The aforementioned fact helps to prioritize things right and also to cover the mitigation process itself. However, what's bad about older systems, like, is when we do that, it just covers the identification. So, you have the problem and what you need to do, but it doesn't cover the whole cycle of dealing with it, and so you see the problem, you know what to do, maybe you know what to do first, But then the process needs to continue. I'm talking about a lot of negative things, but the fact remains that it doesn't cover, actually, the whole process of the identification and then the prioritization because we need to maybe open a ticket to deal with it by approaching the right people and to see that it's done, including the validation scans after it. The system gives you a way to do the scans somehow all around vulnerability and its status while not having to deal with the whole cycle. So you don't see, or you don't have this part when you mitigate the vulnerabilities themselves, and then you know what you did, what you didn't, and how you did, and which is status after it. So, it doesn't cover the whole vulnerability management process.

The product’s most valuable feature is remediation. It shows a list of vulnerabilities per server once you scan on cloud or on-premise instances. It helps us create remediation projects and assign the console’s responsibility to specific engineers. We can set up a follow-up date depending on the organization's requirements.

The ease of use in terms of scanning assets is valuable, and it has a diverse checklist when it comes to vulnerability databases. Hence, it has a comprehensive database for exploits and vulnerabilities, which is why we continue using it.

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.
The use of agents comes in very handy when a lot of the workforce is working from home, such as during COVID-19. Some of the traditional tools would not be able to monitor any of those devices that people would be working with, such as laptops, because they are remote. You can only audit their machines if they are on the business premises, but with Tenable.io agents, you can maintain that level of continuous monitoring, even if they are not on-premises at the time of the scan. The agents run the scans locally on the machine.
Tenable.io is a cloud-managed solution, but the scanners are sitting on-premises. They've also got some public cloud scanners that are sitting all over the world. They've got something called frictionless assessments, which is quite an interesting approach for vulnerability scanning of anything that is sitting in your AWS. You don't have to deploy the scanners. They've got sensors in there that are able to give you continuous monitoring without deploying scanners, doing any configurations, or inputting any credentials.
