Tenable Security Center Reviews

We use Tenable SC for internal vulnerability scans with agents, and agentless scanning in the cloud. For example, we're scanning the AMI in the cloud and making it part of the base image.

The most valuable features of Tenable SC are scanning, reporting, dashboards, and automation.

Tenable SC can improve by adding more integrations with HCI-type tools and more accurate vulnerability detection.

I have been using Tenable SC for approximately three years.

Tenable SC is stable.

The scalability of Tenable SC is scalable.

We have more than 10,000 people using this solution. We are using the solution extensively.

The support from Tenable SC is good.

I rate the support from Tenable SC a four out of five.

We previously used Qualys.

The implementation of Tenable SC is straightforward. It took us approximately two to three months to complete.

I rate the initial setup of Tenable SC a four out of five.

We did the implementation of Tenable SC in-house. We used five or six staff members for the process and we did most of it through automation. We have engineers, managers, administrators, and product managers assisting.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Tenable SC an eight out of ten.

We use the product to scan threats and conduct risk assessments for NCA. 

Tenable Security Center scans networks and gives reports. 

The solution is expensive. 

I haven't contacted the support team yet. 

Tenable Security Center's deployment is easy. 

The tool costs around 15,000 Saudi riyals monthly. 

I rate Tenable Security Center a five out of ten. 

We use the solution for patch and vulnerability management. We scan our critical systems, keep track of any exploitable vulnerabilities, and prioritize their remediation efforts in terms of patching. 

In the future, we hope to extend the solution to our cloud services. We are moving to Azure Cloud and planning to start a DevOps initiative that might include container deployment. We know Tenable has the CI/CD pipeline security support so we will seek that solution when we are ready. 

The solution has a lean and easy-to-use interface that is not confusing to first-time users.

The solution should include compliance-based scanning. 

I have been using the solution for three weeks but my company has been using it for one year. 

The solution is very stable. 

The solution is scalable and we are happy with the way it is operating. 

We currently have forty users and a team of four for maintenance. 

Technical support has been excellent and provides a lot of support when needed. 

The company was using OpenVAS, an open-source solution that is miles apart from Tenable. 

At a previous job, I used Rapid7 which compares strongly to Tenable. 

I did not handle the initial setup but know from previous implementations that setting up a vulnerability management solution can be somewhat complex because it involves loading assets, configuring the network, and authenticating.

The ROI is almost guaranteed because there is a lot of value in using the product and reporting that to our company. 

The price is reasonable based on our scope of work and how we use the solution. 

The rule is always garbage in, garbage out. Be sure to configure the solution well and take advantage of technical support to understand how things should work. Mistakes are made when people assume they know how to do things. I believe in using technical support to confirm the process and ensure everything is done correctly. 

I rate the solution a ten out of ten. 

I am using Tenable SC to detect vulnerabilities, and we are in the process of testing the solution.

The most valuable features of Tenable SC are the reports and the dashboards.

Tenable SC could improve by making the creation of the initial reports easier that correspond to our network.

I have been using Tenable SC for three months.

The stability of the solution is good. We have not had any problem.

We use the solution approximately 20 hours per week. We have three people that use the solution to do tests.

I have not used the support from Tenable SC.

I have used Nessus Professional previously. I prefer Tenable SC because it provides more information.

The setup of Tenable SC is easy.

We have a consultant in France that has helped us with the solution.

The price of Tenable SC is expensive, we pay approximately €70,000 for the license annually. We have to pay for each IP test. The cost of other solutions is far less, such as Nessus Professional, which is €3,000 annually.

This is a good solution for what I use it for. I would recommend it to others.

I rate Tenable SC a seven out of ten.

We use the product as a security tool for VMs and web applications.

The product could be user-friendly, and they could enhance the web application's security features.

We have been using Tenable Security Center for a year.

It is a stable product. Our customers utilize just one security center due to the scope of the budget. It doesn't have any adverse effect on the business.

Tenable Security Center on the cloud side is preferred in larger enterprises, but Nexpose might be a suitable option in smaller organizations. The POC implementation for the banking sector is lengthy. I prefer cloud-based scanning for its ease and scalability.

The tickets are passed quickly. Their support manager works proactively in scheduling meetings and solving the issues with the team. They provide the best support care for the customers.

We used Netsparker and Nexpose before. We switched to Tenable SC for better pricing and efficient scanning features. Additionally, it provides features for data security and cloud usage for clients who want to avoid sending information through the cloud.

The initial setup process is simple. If the customers do not have scanners, we can complete it quickly within an hour.

Tenable SC helps us save about 20% of the price compared to Nexpose, which involves buying three different licenses.

The product helps with web application security. I advise others to use Tenable IO and NAS, especially in regions with specific data protection regulations like GDPR and PDPA.

I rate it a nine out of ten.

We use the solution for creating passwords and security scanning purposes.

The solution has been beneficial for our organization.

The solution serves as a good tool and is very user-friendly as well. It has many features. We are able to identify vulnerabilities in our systems, and ways to fix them with the solution’s help.

The solution is expensive. They should work on its pricing. 

We have been using the solution for six months.

It is a stable solution.

It is a scalable solution. We have eleven users using the solution in our company that include Associates and Engineers. I rate the solution’s scalability as a ten.

The solution’s tech support team is very helpful.

Positive

We have an in-house team for installation.

I recommend the solution as it is a very good and user-friendly product. I rate it as a nine.

In our organization, we only use Nessus for vulnerability assessment. We are using Tenable.sc and Nessus as threat scanners.

The most valuable feature of this solution is the vulnerability assessment. Also, the scanning and reporting are very straightforward.

The solution needs to improve the vulnerability assessment because we have experienced some challenges with accuracy.

Tenable.sc would benefit from a more user-friendly interface for the hands-on users of the configuration assessment. It is difficult to modify the policies because they require significant expertise that regular users do not have. 

I have been using Tenable.sc for more than five years.

We have a team of four people that manage Tenable.sc on a daily basis.

Customer service and support with Tenable is good. They are knowledgeable and responsive. I would rate their service a four and a half out of five. 

Positive

The initial setup of Tenable.sc is very easy. I would rate the implementation a five out of five for ease of setup.

We implemented the solution through our in-house team.

For anyone considering implementing Tenable.sc into their organization, I would recommend that they have the proper design of the solution and the proper placement of the scanners before implementing the solution. 

Tenable is a good product, I have no concerns with it as a solution.

I rate this product a nine out of ten overall.

The solution is being used to assess Windows servers and ESXi servers, and VMware ESXi.

The most valuable features of the solution are the dashboards and speed of the test.

Tenable.sc is user-friendly.

The user interface can be improved.

I have been using Tenable.sc for a month.

The solution is stable.

The solution appears to be easily scalable.

Previously to using the solution the organization used Tripwire. The switch was made because Tripwire was not being updated often, the reporting was very bad, and the support was no good.

The initial setup was easy and took only two weeks to deploy.

The implementation was done through a consultant.

For 500 users the licensing fee is roughly $100,000.

I rate Tenable.sc nine out of ten.
