Find out what your peers are saying about Tenable, Qualys, Rapid7 and others in Risk-Based Vulnerability Management."We are very satisfied with the reports, as they provide us with the information that is required for our management."
"The reports in Rapid7 InsightVM are useful when compared to competitors."
"I have been in contact with technical support and they are not bad."
"The product is scalable."
"Rapid7 have a good distribution network with good support and market presence."
"The discovery and prioritization of vulnerabilities."
"There are many integrations with things like the VMware NSX that are great, the reporting is really solid."
"When you connect any new device to the network, Rapid7 has the ability to detect the new device immediately. It can scan that device to detect if it has any vulnerability. It tells you what is vulnerable and what has been misconfigured. It also tells you what is the risk of that misconfiguration or lack of patches and how to resolve the problem."
"The most valuable feature is the interface, which is user-friendly and intuitive."
"Any feature I am looking for usually is part of the next upgrade within a few months. They have a very good dynamic evolution."
"The ability of filtering and segmentation of the data makes it very flexible compared to other tools."
"Tableau has many different connectors for different databases. It's very easy to connect to MySQL, SQL Server, Amazon EMR, Presto, Redshift, BigQuery, and so on."
"Self-service is most valuable. Users can pick up quickly and do the resolution. There are a lot of out-of-the-box features, and it satisfies most of the needs. If users are properly trained, they can deal with any situation."
"The solution has great features which nobody can beat, you can do a lot of customizations, such as use different dimensions and colorize them. Additionally, you can use the numeric values for the customization, which is an exceptional feature."
"When compared to Power BI, Tableau has more readily available resources."
"Its dashboarding is the most valuable. It is easy to create visualizations and dashboards and import Excel sheets and ESP files in Tableau as compared to other tools."
"The team needs to improve the speed and focus on the new bandwidth feed. Sometimes, it takes a while to scan, especially with new updates."
"Reporting could be expanded."
"The solution should include a tighter integration with third-party threat modeling and threat intelligence tools."
"All products have room for increased security and Rapid7 InsightVM is no exception."
"There needs to be much clearer instructions surrounding scanning."
"The authentication scan is not working."
"The product does not have the capability to do dynamic scanning of non-web applications."
"InsightVM is getting a little stale and is in danger of falling behind its competitors."
"Bursting email is needed to deliver the reports to many people in their inboxes and this functionality is not provided by Tableau."
"When it comes to large datasets, the data should be extracted faster."
"When you're working on a dashboard, you can't select multiple components at a time and align them, so you have to go one by one. This is very cumbersome."
"It would be nice to include more features on each dashboard."
"Tableau is an end-to-end analytics platform, and it is doing a pretty good job in terms of connecting to the data and analyzing it. It can, however, do better in terms of data management and the ETL features, which are not on the advanced analytics or machine learning side. Tableau Prep is where users would want to see more advancements. They can improve Tableau Prep, which is an analytic platform tool for data cleansing. People who work with data spend most of their time curating the data. Cleaning up the data and getting it ready for analysis is what takes the most time. If Tableau can invest more time in improving the Tableau Prep platform, it would be great. Previously, Tableau didn't have the functionality for writing to a database. So, you couldn't really alter the database tables and write to your database, but they fixed that in one of the very recent releases. However, it isn't really advanced and should be improved."
"The data entered into Tableau must be clean. Otherwise, it won't work properly."
"Its documentation can be improved so that a user can get a good hands-on experience. Tableau is well documented, and on their website, there are a lot of tutorials that are available for free. I started my learning process through those tutorials, but there are certain loopholes in those tutorials, which only got filled through a couple of good YouTube channels that talk about Tableau. YouTube helped me a lot. So, the documentation could be better, I understand that it is evolving day by day, and with more usage, there would be more such documentation."
"Tableau's automatic insight could be improved. It has some predefined capabilities to understand the data, but I think they need more. Customers need more insight automatically from data—they don't want to discover them, they want to get the forecast automatically. The data preparation should also be improved because it's not easy. Tableau tries to focus on the business side, but the backend side has not improved much. They also have an ETS solution, but it's limited."
