"On Dome9, you can have reports on compliance, users created, and EAM access to the cloud infrastructure. For example, if some machine is exposed to the Internet, importing and exporting to the Internet when it shouldn't, we get immediate alerts if someone does this type of configuration by mistake. Dome9 is very important because AWS doesn't protect us for this. It is the client's responsibility to make sure that we don't export things to the Internet. This solution helps us ensure that we comply with our security measures."
"It presents a real-time database that is always updated."
"Alerts of cloud activity happening across all accounts is helpful."
"The most valuable feature is the CloudBots for auto-remediation of security findings."
"Good interface and visibility."
"The dashboard is intuitive. You know if you're compliant or not, and then it gives you a remediation plan."
"This solution has saved the company from unnecessary data loss that occurs due to cyber attacks."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to work with the APIs to integrate into our own backend systems."
"It is a very good and user-friendly product."
"What is useful to me is being able to fulfill very customized scanning policies. In the clinical environment, because of vendor control, we can't perform credential-vulnerability scanning. And network scans, which I've done before, can cause a lot of impact. Being able to create very customized policies to be able to routinely scan and audit our clinical networks, while simultaneously not causing impact, is important to us."
"Tenable.sc's best features are the availability model, accident management, and scoring."
"It's a very useful tool."
"This solution has a much lower rate of false positives compared to competing products."
"Feature-wise, Tenable Security Center is a very fast tool with many dashboards and reports, and it covers all our systems."
"The tool gives us fewer false positives. Compared to its competitors, the solution’s reports are more accurate."
"Initial setup was pretty straightforward."
"Reporting should have more options."
"I’d like to see more integration with third-party tools. For example, it would be helpful to have an integration between Dome9 and ServiceNow to manage security incidents and security changes."
"Streamlining the user interface would greatly improve the user experience."
"The solution could be improved with a greater analysis of its Microsoft Security score."
"The rules are not well-tuned, and many of them generate false positives or nonsensical results."
"Currently, I would like this solution extended to cellular devices or tablets."
"I would like to see Test B functions at the application access level."
"The security of Check Point CloudGuard Posture Management could improve. There are always new security issues coming out."
"I will say it's a lot slower compared to an MS scan. It takes so much longer, so the performance could definitely be worked on."
"Support could be faster."
"The solution needs to improve the vulnerability assessment because we have experienced some challenges with accuracy."
"The product should provide risk-based vulnerability management."
"Tenable SC could improve by making the creation of the initial reports easier that correspond to our network."
"We are facing some challenges related to our channel."
"Tenable SC could be improved with additional connectivity to external company postures and the capability of managing and sustaining agents in the systems directly without additional platforms in the middle."
"The solution is expensive."
