Regarding the continuous monitoring feature of Tenable Vulnerability Management, it is not exactly continuous monitoring we get from Tenable. It is used only on the market, where we scan it. We have a scheduled scan for all the servers, so we are not using it for any monitoring at present.

Tenable's advanced analytics and reporting features give very detailed reports where we get most of the information about vulnerabilities. That is one plus point. For example, with 2,000 servers, when we want to calculate the percentage of vulnerabilities that have appeared, it gives us very useful insights. While analyzing, it is one of the greatest tools because the results it produces as outputs scan the networks and each device in an organization.

We have purchased Tenable Vulnerability Management via AWS Marketplace.

The main benefit of integration with Tenable Vulnerability Management is that there will be no lack of missing vulnerabilities when it comes to the patching environment. That is one of the key aspects of why we have integrated Tenable to our patching tools. It has a vast capacity of pushing the data to our tools due to its capability and compatibility. That is also one of the reasons why we are using Tenable Vulnerability Management.

While the agents are very lightweight, when it comes to real-time analysis, there will be significant lagging on the servers and too much traffic on the network. When any server detects vulnerability while scanning, the reports take time to analyze by itself. That is one of the drawbacks of Tenable Vulnerability Management.

Scalability is very important for us because of the lightweight agents. That is the main key feature where for installing, they have many options for scaling to multiple servers. If we need to install it on 500 machines tomorrow, we can push it in different ways. It is highly scalable and very user-friendly when it comes to scalability.

The technical support of Tenable Vulnerability Management is available 24/7, and whenever we require support, we can get it within five minutes. Regarding technicality, they deserve a nine out of ten. They are highly technical people. I have communicated with more than 20 to 25 technical engineers. They take every question seriously and help us resolve issues. They have a very strong technical team to support customers.

I rate Tenable Vulnerability Management nine out of ten based on my experience. This rating is due to its stability and high scalability. The best part is the solutions they provide for any vulnerability.

My experience is with Tenable Vulnerability Management, specifically regarding vulnerability management.

My particular use case for Tenable Vulnerability Management is vulnerability management, benchmark scanning, and I'm somewhat familiar with their product line, utilizing the CIS benchmarks and DISA STIG benchmarks.

Tenable Vulnerability Management is the backbone of our vulnerability management and has affected my organization positively.

The best features of Tenable Vulnerability Management are flexibility, breadth and scope, and the fact that their current vulnerabilities come out, and they have tests for them within a day or two.

Operationally, Tenable Vulnerability Management finds issues that would otherwise be missed, but I don't have an ROI.

The impact of Tenable's analytic capabilities shows that our other programs are working in our prioritization process.

I don't think I have any additional features to add for improvement, as Tenable Vulnerability Management does a pretty good job of what it does.

My pain points would have been on the internal side of lining assets up to owners, and that's not something that Tenable Vulnerability Management can help me with.

I have no suggestions for where they could do better.

I have one year of experience with Tenable Vulnerability Management.

I have not personally used a different vulnerability management solution.

The initial setup was pretty straightforward.

I made it my own, and the initial setup was done by Address Block, which I tied to elements in the CMDB.

I wasn't party to the comparison or purchasing, so I'm not completely sure.

I am unaware of the pricing, setup costs, or licensing details for Tenable Vulnerability Management.

I don't know why we switched to Tenable Vulnerability Management for vulnerability management, but my assumption is that it is the first solution they tried and we've been happy with it since.

I have used Tenable Vulnerability Management's reporting features to a lesser degree.

The metrics I track for decision-making include what systems need upgrading, what software needs replacing, and whether or not we can hold off on things, accept some risks, and get other risks resolved.

They have cloud scanners that are effectively point and click, and although I'm not sure if it's an extra licensing, we also have an on-prem scanner, which is a virtual appliance that I can download and put in place.

The data that we pull from Tenable Vulnerability Management is the data that we drive and use for decision-making, although we don't use that visibility extensively. I don't utilize the real-time visibility with Tenable Vulnerability Management.

On a scale of 1-10, I rate Tenable Vulnerability Management a 9.

I use Tenable Vulnerability Management to scan the network, including servers and endpoints, to identify risks in our environment and provide mitigation and solutions. I also use it to assess our security posture through asset discovery and risk identification.

Tenable is user-friendly and excels in reporting. It allows me to easily fetch and schedule reports. The software's discovery feature aids in strengthening our security posture. The single-sensor installation process on various operating systems is smooth, unlike Rapid7, which requires different versions for separate systems. Furthermore, Tenable enables vulnerability management through potential AI integration that consolidates efforts and resolves multiple vulnerabilities simultaneously.

AI integration for reporting in Tenable would be beneficial. The response time of Tenable's customer support needs improvement. They should also accelerate the process of implementing new features upon request.

I have used Tenable Vulnerability Management for almost six to eight years.

I have faced no stability issues with Tenable. In comparison, Rapid7 encountered challenges with data transfer to the cloud, requiring us to compress packets to manage network hiccups.

Both Tenable and Rapid7 are cloud-based solutions, which ensures excellent scalability. They can seamlessly scale the number of endpoints from 100 to 1,000,000 in a day.

Technical support from Tenable is rated six out of ten. It needs improvement in response time and addressing feature requests promptly. Other services like Rapid7 are more responsive.

Neutral

I used Rapid7, which is less expensive than Tenable. My preference now aligns with Tenable due to its superior user-friendliness and reporting capabilities, although some issues persist with installation complexity in various environments.

The setup experience for Tenable Vulnerability Management is rated nine out of ten, indicating that it is relatively easy.

Implementation involves coordination with internal network teams due to environmental complexities.

Tenable is costly, priced significantly higher than Rapid7. For instance, Tenable charges around $40 per device, while Rapid7 costs $10 to $15 per device.

I evaluated Rapid7 alongside Tenable. Although Tenable has a higher cost, its user-friendly interface and robust reporting made it a preferred choice.

I recommend Tenable Vulnerability Management for its comprehensive security capabilities and effective risk identification. However, potential users should be prepared for the higher expense compared to alternatives like Rapid7. 

My rating is eight out of ten, mainly due to the support aspect needing improvement.

I use it to scan assets to evaluate vulnerabilities, define the risk, and create a resolution process for vulnerability management.

It has greatly impacted us by providing asset visibility, allowing us to know which assets have higher vulnerabilities and to calculate the risk for them. 

The return on investments is adequate since we need this vulnerability management, and without Tenable, visibility was not possible. It saved us time and improved our security.

The most useful feature in managing vulnerabilities is risk management.

It needs additional reporting and intelligence features, as well as enhancements in AI-driven detection, which is still in its early stages.

I have been working with Tenable Vulnerability Management for six years.

The technical support is fast and efficient, and I am satisfied with it. I would rate their support nine out of ten.

Positive

I worked with Qualys before Tenable. I find Tenable to be better due to its broader system coverage, better efficiency on discovery, and better capabilities of analysis.

If you have knowledge of networking and security, the initial setup is easy. If you don't, it can be difficult and you might make dangerous mistakes.

The return of investments is good enough as vulnerability management is crucial for us.

The pricing is expensive, and the cost depends on the number of assets. However, the cost is not the most important thing due to the value it provides.

I evaluated Qualys before using Tenable.

Small companies might find it difficult because of the knowledge required to drive vulnerability management successfully. If you lack that knowledge, you should contract the service.

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.
