Useful for penetration testing but reporting functionality needs improvement
What needs improvement?
The tool's reports are bad. They're not very customizable or flexible. During audits, we often have to exclude things that aren't relevant to our organization, but we can't do that easily with the reports. They come in HTML or PDF format, and we can't compare current results with previous ones in Excel because we never receive reports in Excel.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using the product for a year, and my organization has been using it for six to seven years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Tenable Vulnerability Management is stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I rate the tool's scalability a seven out of ten.
How are customer service and support?
The solution's support is okay, but it could be more customer-friendly. The people providing support have knowledge, but they could improve customer interaction.
How was the initial setup?
The tool's deployment can be challenging, especially for those unfamiliar with Kali Linux, as it operates on this platform. This might make the setup process difficult for users accustomed to other operating systems like Windows. It may take a couple of tries to get comfortable with the process. However, once you have set it up a few times, it becomes easier.
What other advice do I have?
Sometimes, we use the tool for tasks like configuration and running scans. However, it's a bit difficult to use compared to Qualys. One issue we've noticed is that it takes up a lot of space, which customers often complain about. They promised more system coverage and updates, but it isn't happening.
I rate Tenable Vulnerability Management a seven out of ten. It might be challenging if you're used to working on Windows. However, it's a recommended tool for penetration testers because it's effective for that purpose.
We use it for audit and PT.
Provides seamlessness, a perfect UI, and identity management for office operations

The initial setup is seamless and takes three days to complete. Two people are required for the deployment but one person can do as well.
What other advice do I have?
This process is seamless because checks are scheduled at different intervals, typically every ten minutes. Once a log is generated, we attend to it immediately. Also, the maintenance is straightforward.
Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
Public Cloud
Discovers vulnerabilities and integrates well with other solutions
How has it helped my organization?
Before, we built the assets on Tenable.sc and scanned them for asset discovery. Now, we are deploying Nessus Agent into all the machines. We have written the script, which is automatically deployed on the VM or the cloud. Previously, we could not identify the workstations that were offline for a certain period. With Nessus Agent, we don't have that problem. It increases our efficiency.
What is most valuable?
Nessus Agent is the best feature. When we scan the environment, the vulnerabilities are discovered. The integration of Tenable into our security ecosystem was very good. There were no complications. We integrated it with different tools like ServiceNow and SharePoint.
What needs improvement?
I'm not satisfied with the reporting structure. We cannot do much customization. We can do it in Tenable.sc. We need to maintain two different solutions. We need the on-premise tool for reporting purposes. We would like to have it all as a SaaS-based solution.
If we need to check for a zero-day vulnerability, we must run the scans manually to get the information. It is time-consuming. We need to do a traditional scan regularly to get zero-day information. It would be great if the zero-day vulnerabilities were published.
The reporting capabilities for compliance are bad. I can get the compliance reporting on certain cases, but it is not detailed. We do not have a clear understanding of the Cyber Exposure Score. I am unable to drill down and understand the Cyber Exposure Score.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I rate the tool’s stability an eight out of ten.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I rate the tool’s scalability a seven out of ten.
How are customer service and support?
The customer service is good. The support team is very responsive.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
Previously, we used Qualys for vulnerability scanning. However, we switched to Tenable because we felt that Tenable was the best solution for our organization’s requirements. We also use Tenable.sc, Tenable.io, and Tenable’s Cloud Security Posture Management.
How was the initial setup?
The setup is not straightforward. We need to apply the filters. We can get the Cyber Exposure Score displayed on the document. However, we cannot get a deeper understanding of what makes the score high or low.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The product costs us around $137,000 annually for 4000 to 5000 assets.
What other advice do I have?
We use a third-party tool to initiate scans. I don't know whether there is a way to monitor it in real-time. I will recommend the tool to others. Overall, I rate the product an eight out of ten.

An easy-to-manage solution to gain visibility into all IPs
What is our primary use case?
The product operates on a license-based model, where you purchase a license based on the number of IP addresses you intend to scan. For example, if you purchase a license for 50 IP addresses and your network has 200 users, it will only scan for those 50 IPs. You can gain visibility into all IPs within your environment, including subnets with a full license. Also, you can geographically segment your scanning targets based on the number of IPs allocated for each location.
