Proactive alert management enhances network security and provides peace of mind
The reporting is really good from what I've seen so far. They are on top of the alerts, especially the critical ones. This proactive approach to alert management ensures that if someone downloads something on a workstation that shouldn't be downloaded, they address it quickly. Their ability to identify and provide information on critical alerts is very valuable.

Windows Security Patching Operation III (Cyber Operations) at CBTS
Have maintained accurate vulnerability scans and gained actionable remediation insights across thousands of servers
Tenable Vulnerability Management agents are very lightweight, and the results we get are very accurate. The solutions they provide to us, assuming if one vulnerability exists, there will be a solution. The resolution they give us in wording will be the best solution. The exploit rates and the reports we get provide a lot of information, making it very easy for us to verify.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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most valuable feature of Arctic Wolf Managed Risk is being informed about what vulnerabilities there are exposed currently."
"We have a patch management solution that scans for any patches that can be applied and then applies these patches, but it doesn't hit everything. It also doesn't find all misconfigurations and things like that. Arctic Wolf Managed Risk kind of fills in the gaps and makes us aware of vulnerabilities or misconfigurations that exist out there. It does an agent scan for software versions and compares them to what CVs are out there and lets us know."
"This solution has made huge strides in improving the awareness of our end users."
"I appreciate the professionalism of the tool and have faith in the results it delivers."
"The user-friendly interface and customizable reporting helped our IT team interpret and act on the platform's insights because they did not have any problems using it."
"The customer support is incredible."
"There are companies that do vulnerability scans. However, what adds value is when two experts come and sit with you to scan and patch the vulnerabilities. Any 50-member or small company that has an IT footprint carries risk from a cybersecurity perspective. These companies use tools but don't have the talent to leverage them."
"We get access to quarterly reviews with their team."
"The solution can integrate with third parties and meets standard compliance."
"The vulnerability scanning is the most important aspect of the solution for us."
"Tenable is user-friendly and excels in reporting."
"It helps us create remediation projects and assign the console’s responsibility to specific engineers."
"There is no burden of updating or upgrading this solution."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"The initial setup is not complex."
"One of the most valuable features of Tenable.io Vulnerability Management is its exportability, which allows us to conduct risk assessments efficiently."
 

Cons

"It could be easier to use. They could present things in a little bit more ranked order rather than kind of giving you everything out there. It should highlight the really important stuff and make it easier to get to good rather than perfect."
"The presentation of the data could be improved. I believe they have significant room for improvement, particularly in making better analysis of the vulnerability data and presenting those data more effectively."
"The major area for improvement is the lack of a patch management feature to resolve some of the vulnerabilities detected."
"Arctic Wolf Managed Risk needs to add more integrations."
"The scalability could improve."
"The best way to take this product to the next level would be to implement a patch management solution."
"There are some challenges with integrations in Arctic Wolf Managed Risk. Some integrations could be improved to enhance functionality."
"The major area for improvement is the lack of a patch management feature to resolve some of the vulnerabilities detected."
"I'd like to see them improve their support."
"The user interface could be improved by being able to change the user interface to fit your position or your job. The graphs are set in stone and you can only print reports."
"The interface could be improved; right now it's running on two interfaces simultaneously."
"The shortcoming of the solution that needs improvement is related to its capability to do vulnerability assessments on applications."
"I would evaluate Tenable Vulnerability Management's customer service and technical support as average."
"The price could be lower."
"It's not a user-friendly tool since it has a complicated interface."
"Technical support from Tenable is rated six out of ten. It needs improvement in response time and addressing feature requests promptly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It depends on the company size quite a bit."
"The price of Arctic Wolf Managed Risk is reasonable compared to the competition."
"Compared to other VM solutions, Tenable.io Vulnerability Management is expensive."
"The cost is determined by the number of endpoints, which is approximately one dollar per endpoint."
"Yearly payments are to be made toward the licensing cost of the product. It is neither a cheap nor an expensive product."
"The solution is not too expensive."
"The product costs us around $137,000 annually for 4000 to 5000 assets."
"The total cost we pay for this solution is over 45K. This is for a large education organization."
