Tenable Security Center Reviews

Our primary use case for Tenable SC is its vulnerability scanning capability. 

I think the vendor training provided for Tenable SC could be a lower price. It's quite expensive for the training. 

I have been working with Tenable SC for 4 years.

The stability of the Tenable SC product is satisfactory. 

I find Tenable SC to be a very scalable product. 

The initial setup of Tenable SC is not unmanageable. 

With regards to the setup of Tenable SC, I would advise others to spend time using the module, get familiar with the product, and in addition read the manual that is provided. 

We primarily use Tenable SC for vulnerability scanning and did not evaluate other options. This meets our needs.

I would say there are approximately 30 users in our organization using the Tenable SC product. 

I use this solution to perform vulnerability assessments and then patch my systems using third-party tools.

The vulnerability scan is pretty fast and once you give it the right access privileges on the target system, you get very clear and precise details of the vulnerabilities.

This solution has a much lower rate of false positives compared to competing products.

It can operate in hybrid mode, too. The greatest strength of the product comes up when the agent is deployed on the endpoint to be scanned. Thereafter, even if the agent is out of the office network, it can still be scanned and will also send back data to the parent console.

The dashboard and the templates used to delvelop reports are awesome.

It is easy to run, scan, and categorize an asset as and when needed. The same asset can be present in two or more groups based on the identification.

This solution can now be deployed in cloud setups.

This solution provides a good reporting system and with a reasonably good level of third-party integration. McAfee has leveraged this capability beautifully in its Policy Orchestrator.

We need to give more customer demos and also highlight the strengths of the product that have been developed over a twenty-year period.

The vulnerability scan does not work correctly until the access privileges are set by the system administrator.

This system is stable under normal configurational mode. It is important to understand how many hosts it will handle and size the system accordingly.

This is a very highly scalable system.

I have not contacted technical support so far, as there was no issue to escalate.

We did not use another solution prior to this one.

I have worked on a few demos and they have been pretty straightforward to setup.

I perform the deployment of this solution.

Yet to be calculated.

Costing is pretty reasonable compared to the competition.

We evaluated Rapid7 and Qualys before choosing this solution.

I am using Tenable SC for vulnerability management and for the dashboards.

The most valuable features in Tenable SC are scanning and analysis.

Tenable SC can improve by making it easier to create complicated reports and have more effectiveness in the remediation area for comparison between the scans.

I have used Tenable SC within the past 12 months.

Tenable SC is stable.

Tenable SC support has been very helpful.

The setup of Tenable SC is easy.

I rate Tenable SC an eight out of ten.

In my previous company, we were using both Tenable IO and Tenable SC. We had the on-prem and the cloud versions. IO was a cloud version, and SC was on-prem.

In my new company, they do use Tenable, but I'm not part of that team. They have the latest version.

I found the dashboard features very useful. It made it easy to track remediation progress. I could publish dashboards to remediation teams and track the progress on the dashboards.

The reporting side can be improved. The dashboards are nice, but exporting things out for reports for management was a little tough.

We had the on-prem version and the cloud version, and I wasn't a big fan of having different consoles. It would have been nice to be able to have all those features in the cloud version because on-prem is a little tough to manage.

I've been using it for about two years. I switched positions about six months ago, and at the moment, I am not using it. 

I find it stable.

It was pretty straightforward.

We had a consultant from Tenable with us.

I would rate it a seven out of ten.

We had a requirement to connect multiple branches into one console. We installed Nessus at multiple locations and then connected Nessus. We did the service scan and got the report on the central site with Tenable SC.

Previously, we were using Nessus, which required a lot of manual work in terms of reporting. We do a lot of customization, and Tenable SC has been very helpful. Reporting is just a click away in Tenable SC, whereas it used to take a long time to create a similar report and customize it in Nessus. 

Tenable SC is good for reporting and alerting. The filtering feature is also very valuable.

Its integration with multiple vendors is quite good. It can be integrated with SIEM solutions and PAM solutions such as Thycotic, which is very helpful.

There is not much room for improvement. However, there should be a guide that describes the step-by-step procedures for doing tasks. Otherwise, training is required from a senior guy to a junior guy.

Our usage is the same. Currently, no increment is required in terms of the license.

They are good.

We used to use Rapid7, but there were too many false positives. So, we switched to Nessus, but in Nessus, we faced the challenge of reporting. Nessus required a lot of manual work in terms of reporting. Tenable SC has been quite helpful for reporting. 

It is not straightforward. When you do integrations, it turns into a complex solution, but this complexity is required. If security is a priority, then complexity will be there for enterprise security.

It didn't take a long time. In one month, we were able to configure and run the reports. Everything was done within a month. We were in desperate need of such a solution, and this solution came. We already knew about integrations from the white papers and documents available on the Tenable website. They were very helpful. So, doing integration was not an issue. We did it without much effort. 

I was heading this project as a project manager.

It is a much better solution than other competitors. It provides almost everything that is required in terms of vulnerability management. If you are looking for overall enterprise security in terms of integrations and vulnerability management, you should go for Tenable SC or Tenable SCCV.

I would rate Tenable SC a nine out of ten. 

I primarily use Tenable.sc to search availability and for our workstation server and data center.

Tenable.sc's best features are the availability model, accident management, and scoring. It also gives fewer false positives than its competitors.

Tenable.sc's user interface could be improved.

I've been using Tenable.sc for about two months.

Tenable.sc is very stable.

Tenable.sc is scalable.

Tenable's technical support is good.

The initial setup was easy as we use the cloud version.

Tenable.sc is more expensive than its competitors.

I would give Tenable.sc a rating of eight out of ten.

Our primary use case is for vulnerability assessment of our internal network.

The scans are the most valuable aspect of this solution. The reporting isn't so good but I use scans the most. The reporting needs a lot of work on the template. 

There should be an easier way to build your own type of reports because the data is there but it is quite painful to get what I want from it. I prefer Tenable SC to other solutions.

We have been using Tenable SC for a little more than two years. 

Stability and scalability are good. The administrators use it. We have three regular users. 

We have contacted their customer support and they were fine.

We didn't have any issues with the initial setup. 

We pay around 60,000 on a yearly basis. 

Nessus is for a single company and tenable SC is for when you've got multiple repositories. SC is the same as Nessus, except it's got central logging. It's the same thing. For large widespread companies, you use SC, if you're a small to medium-sized company, you use Nessus.

I would rate it an eight out of ten. Not a ten because of the reporting. It needs improvement. 

I'm a pre-sales engineer and we are resellers of Tenable.

This solution is very customizable compared to everything else I've seen on the market, so you can easily customize it to suit your needs. There are a lot of templates you can use and you can install it pretty quickly so in one hour you can have your scanner up and running.

I think the company should redo their web page because the way things are now there are a lot of things you can't do. For example, if you want to filter something on the solution and have it filter down to all of your widgets, you can't do it, you have to go from one widget to the other. It takes some time if you have a big customer dashboard that's using some data. I think that the integration with a solution like Jira could be a little bit better for when you create tickets based on your vulnerability.

I know they are working on additional features related to the integration with the patch management like Qualys has, which is really amazing. This is the future and I know they're working on it. 

I've been using this solution for the past six or seven years. 

Usually the solution is stable but it can be a little bit tricky which I think depends on the kind of BME and the sizing used. I'd say it was 80%, 85% stable.

The solution is very scalable, it's one of the most scalable solutions that I've used so far, compared to Rapid7 and Qualys, it's very scalable. You can use it pretty much with anything, even if you start with 1000 IPs and scale up from 1000 to 10,000.

Technical support is very efficient and they escalate the tickets when you have a big issue. When you open a ticket, they respond within the hour and they're pretty quick to find the issue. If you have a bigger issue, you can set up a Zoom call with them and that's very helpful. 

I've used Rapid7 in the past and I've also used Qualys a little as well. I work with customers, so I go with whatever they want to use. 

The initial setup is very straightforward and quick. 

I would definitely recommend the solution but I would tell people that it requires dedicated staff. You need to have someone looking at what's going on when you scan and you need somebody to go through all the results, otherwise it just sits there.

I would rate this solution an eight out of 10.
