Reliable and intuitive cloud security platform with strong visibility features
What do you like best about the product?
What I really like is the visibility it provides into our cloud infrastructure. It’s easy to monitor misconfigurations, get alerts, and maintain compliance across multiple cloud accounts. The dashboard is clean, and I appreciate the detailed risk breakdowns with actionable insights. It integrates smoothly with our existing tools, which made adoption super smooth.
What do you dislike about the product?
There’s a bit of a learning curve in the beginning, especially when configuring custom policies or alerts. Some of the documentation could be clearer, particularly for more advanced use cases. Also, the pricing structure could be more flexible for smaller teams or startups.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Tenable Cloud Security helps us identify and fix cloud misconfigurations, policy violations, and potential vulnerabilities before they turn into real issues. It solves the problem of limited visibility across our multi-cloud environment and reduces the manual effort required for compliance checks. As a result, our security posture has improved significantly, audits are smoother, and our team can focus more on proactive risk mitigation instead of reactive firefighting.
Recognize the impact of proactive compliance and risk reduction features
What is our primary use case?
My main use case for Tenable Cloud Security is managing our security compliance and security posture.
I use Tenable Cloud Security for managing compliance and security posture, and we rely on the compliance reports and findings of our cloud configuration.
I don't have anything else to add about my use case or how I use Tenable Cloud Security day-to-day.
What is most valuable?
The best features Tenable Cloud Security offers in my experience are automatic scanning, frequent scanning, and automatic finding, which I find valuable.
Tenable Cloud Security has positively impacted my organization with risk reduction and compliance.
We weren't previously measuring compliance, so that's completely new to our organization regarding risk reduction and compliance improvements.
What needs improvement?
I think Tenable Cloud Security could be improved with more clear licensing.
What I would like to see improved with licensing is how they're used in the product.
The calculations of what is considered a license between virtual machines, containers, Kubernetes clusters, and similar components should be made more clear.
I will add more about the needed improvements.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Tenable Cloud Security for about a year and a half.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
In my experience, Tenable Cloud Security is not very stable. There are no downtime, no outages, and a few support tickets, but nothing out of the ordinary.
How are customer service and support?
Customer support for Tenable Cloud Security is recommended, with no problems and very responsive.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I wasn't involved with the pricing, setup cost and licensing for Tenable Cloud Security.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
I wasn't involved in evaluating other options before choosing Tenable Cloud Security.
What other advice do I have?

Offers reliable security support and encourages a safe migration to cloud environments while there is room for better reseller collaboration
What is our primary use case?
They are looking to promote a deeper security strategy with Tenable Cloud Security. Companies are migrating from on-premise to clouds and they must ensure their applications in the cloud will be more safe and secure.
Healthcare is most likely the kind of clients we see migrating to Tenable Cloud Security.
What is most valuable?
From what I know, though I'm not an expert technically speaking, perhaps the best functionalities are related to promoting a deeper analysis of the environment where applications are running in terms of creating a double armor of security to block threats that may come in the cloud with Tenable Cloud Security.
Companies are looking for cloud security, specifically Tenable Cloud Security, because they know it's a reliable company with long-term presence in the market, and they trust Tenable for their product strategy and support. This is the main reason.
What needs improvement?
I really don't know to tell the truth because we sell many solutions and don't sell exclusively Tenable, so I'm not in a condition to give a precise definition of what could be improved. My perception is this: when customer A needs Tenable Cloud Security, we introduce and demonstrate it. They POC, they appreciate it. The solution serves in such use cases ABC.
I am very pragmatic and straightforward - as long as they use or want the solution, I am interested. If they don't, my question is what are the main objections? They may discuss pricing, or they may say they thought the solution had certain technical capabilities that they could not find.
For how long have I used the solution?
It's just recently that these customers asked us to introduce Cloud Security, so I'm still in the process of getting to know this solution in more detail.
How was the initial setup?
Depending on the size of the project, it takes perhaps 15 days or a week or something similar.
What about the implementation team?
We have a technical person that helps with the setup or the implementation, and either the distributor or the vendor always assists us.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
We resell Tenable and other cybersecurity companies in Brazil.
What other advice do I have?
Companies are migrating from on-premise to clouds and they must ensure their applications in the cloud will be more safe and secure.
Customers will be more secure in terms of knowing that their applications are running in a safe environment protected by Tenable Cloud Security, so they can promote and extend the migration process to either GCP, AWS, or Azure.
The analytical and reporting capabilities are pretty straightforward and show every transaction and major attempt to attack the application in the cloud. These analytical tools are very complete.
This solution can help organizations adhere to and comply with regulatory requirements such as HIPAA.
On a scale of 1-10, I rate this solution an 8.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
Public Cloud
If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?
Very good CIEM product
What do you like best about the product?
The identity and permissions features (CIEM) are amazing. Very detailled and covering GCP, AWS and Azure, it's a very complete solution.
What do you dislike about the product?
The Threat detection part is maybe the least powerful feature of this CNAPP.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps to detect misconfigurations and issues with entitlement management in Cloud platforms
Easy to use tools

If there are more features in the product that could help us automate security tasks, that would be even better.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Automatic scan of our sytem for compliance purposes
Offers flexibility and cost-effectiveness to users
What is our primary use case?
Right now, I use Tenable as CNAPP, and it is good for the product as it offers enhanced security to users. We did use the tool on the cloud. I am not sure if some models, like CIEM, are available as a feature for users. When it comes to a module in CNAPP, I think it is fairly good for using and monitoring on the cloud while also being easy to deploy.
I am not sure how the tool is used in my company because I got transferred to another team that is involved only in monitoring. I use the reporting part on CNAPP. I only use the tool for customized reports. The tool had a fairly easy way to get customized reports.
What needs improvement?
Another team uses the tool. Tenable acquired Ermetic. I think Tenable has features, stays up to date, and upgrades every few months. I am not sure of the tool's use case, as another team uses it. I think another team in my company wants to use the tool for use cases associated with patching and testing. For use cases, Tenable needs to offer a patch-based solution since it is an area where the tool lacks a bit.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have experience with Tenable Cloud Security.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
There are no stability or bug-related issues in the tool.
How was the initial setup?
The product's deployment phase is easy.
What was our ROI?
The tool is cost-effective.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The tool's price is good compared to other brands. The tool's subscription is for a year.
What other advice do I have?
The tool can be used in the area of vulnerability management to improve our company's security.
I saw some impacts on our finances, especially on the banking side. In our company, we forecast the point for maturity and performance through assessments and security vulnerabilities in the cloud. Before I bought Tenable, I compared it with another band. The tool has been a really good point for the price.
One of the teams in my company would like to use the tool and integrate it with other products used for patching and vulnerability assessment tools.
The tool is a good product that is flexible and on the cloud.
I rate the tool an eight out of ten.

This enhances cloud security posture, ensures regulatory compliance, and simplifies management, benefiting organizations with streamlined, effective cloud security operations.
Provides excellent features and helps identify and mitigate risks
What is most valuable?
The solution is good. We integrated our AWS account with Tenable Cloud Security for security and compliance. The IAM features are valuable. We can analyze the permissions of the users in all the aspects of AWS. The solution’s vulnerability management feature has helped us identify and mitigate risks well. I can do the scans from the on-premise and cloud solutions. The tool integrates well with our existing products. We have integrated it with ServiceNow. It works well.
What needs improvement?
The product must provide more features. It must integrate with AI. The reporting features are bad. The reports do not have detailed information. We cannot do CI/CD with the tool.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using the solution for one and a half years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I rate the product’s stability seven and a half out of ten. It must be improved.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I rate the product’s scalability seven and a half out of ten. It must be improved.
How was the initial setup?
The setup has a few steps. I rate the ease of setup a nine out of ten.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
We compared the solution with other tools but chose Tenable Cloud Security because it fit our requirements.
What other advice do I have?
We haven’t used the workload features yet. I will recommend the solution to others based on their organization’s requirements. Overall, I rate the tool an eight out of ten.
A tool that helps users to do compliance verifications for the cloud environment
What is our primary use case?
The use cases attached to Tenable Cloud Security include compliance verifications for the cloud environment.
What needs improvement?
The product lacks automatic remediation features. From an improvement perspective, the tool should be able to offer automatic remediation features.
There is a need for the support team to improve their response time since it is one of the areas where the product's technical team has certain shortcomings.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Tenable Cloud Security for around ten years. My company sells solutions like Fortinet, Qualys, Tenable, and SentinelOne. My company has a partnership with Tenable.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Stability-wise, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Scalability-wise, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
How are customer service and support?
The solution's technical support is not good. I rate the technical support a three out of ten.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
Products like Fortinet, Qualys, and Rapid7 offer the same set of services. The only common issue I found between all the products was that though the tools can be deployed on the cloud services offered by Microsoft, AWS, and Google, the products cannot be deployed on Oracle.
I am in the process of testing different solutions from vendors like Rapid7 and Qualys.
How was the initial setup?
I rate the product's initial setup phase an eight on a scale of one to ten.
The solution can be deployed in a couple of minutes.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
There is a need to opt for a subscription-based pricing model to use Tenable Cloud Security. I rate the product price an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price.
What other advice do I have?
Tenable Cloud Security is a basic tool for security engineers since most of the cloud solutions do not offer high standard compliance, like PCI DSS compliant. Most of the cloud solutions use CIS as a benchmark or reference. Microsoft has its own compliance tool.
Tenable Cloud Security is a new solution in the market and cannot be compared with the other vulnerability tools.
Speaking about how the product has improved the security posture, I would say that Tenable Cloud Security is usually installed on a person's computer, so one needs to be very careful not to make any mistakes during configuration. The cloud providers don't offer security, so it is important for a potential buyer to read the information on the way the services are provided to them by the cloud.
The product's visibility and remediation work fine for me.
Around two people are required for the maintenance of the product, considering that there are changes in cloud products and every customer is different. It is not a static solution.
I rate the overall tool an eight out of ten.
easy to use and good for investigating the cloud infrastructure
What do you like best about the product?
the dashboard is very explainable and easy to understand and take action out of it.
What do you dislike about the product?
the deep dive into the new features would give a better visibility
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
AWS infrastructure . visibility on our product
