Has a valuable remediation feature, but it could be easier to set up on the cloud
Pros and Cons
  • "It helps us create remediation projects and assign the console’s responsibility to specific engineers."
  • "The product could be easier to set up on the cloud."

What is our primary use case?

We use the software to manage vulnerabilities in our environment.

What is most valuable?

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.

What needs improvement?

The product could be easier to set up on the cloud.

For how long have I used the solution?

We have been using Tenable Vulnerability Management for three years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I rate the platform's stability an eight out of ten. Once, a few of our subsidiaries complained that channel usage in the environment was consuming bandwidth.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We have five admins using Tenable Vulnerability Management in our organization. I rate the product’s scalability a seven out of ten. It has many features, and it is complicated to train someone on how to use Tenable. You have to schedule a session every day for almost two weeks for it.

How are customer service and support?

It was challenging to contact the technical support team earlier. However, we have found the right contact and can reach out to them easily.'

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I have used open-source applications before.

How was the initial setup?

The product is complicated to set up on AWS. However, it is easy to implement on-premises. It involves discovering IP addresses and schedule scanning. It requires acquiring some knowledge about the process to familiarize yourself with the AWS environment. We have to complete the setup for the whole environment. The deployment for a vast environment involves migrating a lot of data from on-premise to the cloud.

What about the implementation team?

We execute the implementation for most of the tools in-house. We take help from third-party vendors for the rest of it.

What other advice do I have?

I rate Tenable Vulnerability Management a nine out of ten. I advise you to choose Tenable.iO as it is a cloud-based solution.

I like the Cloud Scanning feature the most, but they can improve in the area of role management and compliance reporting
Pros and Cons
  • "It is pretty stable. I would rate it nine or maybe ten."
  • "They should include better customization of the dashboard, and integration tools."

What is our primary use case?

We use Tenable.io for vulnerability scanning.

What is most valuable?

I like the Cloud Scanning feature the most.

What needs improvement?

They can improve in the area of role management and compliance reporting.

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

For how long have I used the solution?

We have been partners with Tenable.io for four years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It is pretty stable. I would rate it nine or maybe ten out of ten. I didn't realize that the solution will be dropped in availability.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It is a scalable solution. I would like to rate it a six out of ten.

How are customer service and support?

Many times, I get some answers that are not suitable information for my query. Thus, I need to escalate our vendors and our contacts internally. When some task is escalated and some security engineer supports them, it becomes quite helpful. After all, we are a part of it. I am working with Tenable.io. So in general when I have some problems, it is a pretty big problem for me. And I need someone else for support. It is not a general problem that some customers can figure out.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Neutral

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

Two years ago, I was training for Rapid7. Since then, I have had no time to implement another solution. So we are just implementing Tenable.io right now. Also, we have some big Tenable.io projects. So, we are just working around Tenable.io. But I have some expectations to work in the future with another vendor for vulnerability management.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

I don't have any comparative options from another vendor. I just work at the retail level. I know it has a pretty high cost for some features. It's a security vendor, and the security solutions are pretty high-priced. I think Tenable.io is available at the mid-range of prices, maybe the mid-high range.

What other advice do I have?

I work with Tenable.io and implement this solution for many customers. I would rate it eight out of ten.

The solution needs either two engineers or one security specialist to maintain it.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Private Cloud

If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?

Our primary use case for this solution is to satisfy the requirement for vulnerability assessments regarding internal assets, CPI assets and web applications. We deploy the solution on private cloud.

What is most valuable?

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.

What needs improvement?

The response times from the customer service and support team could be improved. Additionally, the pricing could be better.

For how long have I used the solution?

We have been using the solution for approximately four years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution is scalable, and we currently have 15 users utilizing it.

Easy to set up with lots of great features and continuous investment in developing the product
Pros and Cons
  • "The initial setup is mostly straightforward."
  • "I'd like to see them improve their support."

What is our primary use case?

I primarily implement the solution for clients. It's mostly used for security purposes. 

What is most valuable?

The product has many features and continues to develop its capabilities at a rapid pace. 

It's done a lot of acquisitions and has really built out its cloud functionality. They're doing a good job of building out their cloud security.

The initial setup is mostly straightforward. 

The solution is stable. 

It can scale as necessary.

What needs improvement?

I'd like to see them improve their support.

It would be great if there was more integration with other third-party products. They have a robust API, so it's possible to write a script in Python and extend or integrate with another solution, however, will be great if they had this integration automatically.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been dealing with the solution for three or four years. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is stable. I haven't had any issues. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. We use AWS infrastructure and find it to be very reliable. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The general scalability is pretty good. It's easy to add on. We haven't had an issue with expansion. 

At this point in time, I'm not sure if our clients intend to increase usage. 

How are customer service and support?

They need a better approach to support. When I have hard questions that need answers to, I prefer to jump to L3 support instead of getting pushed to L1. It's not solving my problems fast enough.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I've deployed Tenable.sc and other Tenable products. I've also dealt with FireEye.

How was the initial setup?

I've been implementing the solution for four years. Therefore, I do not find it to be a difficult process. In general, it is easy to deploy, however, it depends on the client. If they are cooperative, it is easier. 

We need at least one person for deployment and maintenance. 

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

I can't speak to the exact cost of the solution. 

There may be some features that we have to pay for that are extra. However, when someone wants to use Tenable.io only for vulnerability scanning and vulnerability management, there is no hidden cost.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We are partners with Tenable and therefore tend to lean towards their products more than others. 

What other advice do I have?

We're partners. I mainly implement the solution. 

I work with a variety of different versions. I use the whole Tenable portfolio.

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
