Arun Chauhan - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides a very good vulnerability monitoring system, but the implementation is challenging
We face many issues while implementing Armis in the pharma sector. Some of the customer applications are not supported well by the tool. The applications do not communicate well if we implement Armis. We generally face such issues during implementation. We are planning to implement the product in the wind energy sector, but we don't have any idea how to do it. Currently, it is a very big challenge for us. Products like Dragos, Claroty, and Nozomi provide a much better experience during implementation. If any issues arise, we are told how to resolve such issues during the POC. Armis does not provide the secure remote access feature Claroty provides.
Yogeswaran Neelagandan - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers risk prioritization , notification system but support should be bundled with the product cost
It's a fantastic product, but there are some things to consider. One is the price. Compared to on-prem solutions, the SaaS model can be expensive. Price is definitely a concern and needs improvement, especially for the Indian market. While it's a fantastic product, it should be more accessible to small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs). Currently, only larger enterprises seem to be able to afford and evaluate it thoroughly. So, pricing can be improved and be more affordable for the Indian market, specifically for SMBs. Another area of improvement is customer service and support. Tenable needs to include support in the pricing/license. Currently, they push clients to get support from partners or channel distributors, who often charge a lot. Even for a simple one-time setup, they may charge three to four lakhs, and then additional annual charges for ongoing support. We have the technical skills to handle basic tasks, but relying on Tenable itself often results in just receiving emails or being redirected back to channel partners. So, support should be bundled with the product cost.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It determines which assets and devices are at risk, alerts you if there's a risk, and categorizes all assets, including personal computers, mobile phones, servers, televisions, cars, and video game consoles."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is asset tracking."
"The solution’s vulnerability monitoring system is very good."
"The technology is good."
"The tool is user-friendly and helps to detect vulnerabilities."
"Armis is a straightforward and user-friendly solution."
"The initial setup and deployment were simple."
"The solution's most valuable feature is providing a single pane of visibility on all the infrastructure and its status."
"I would rate Tenable's dashboards and reporting capabilities for illustrating security posture a nine out of ten, with ten being the best."
"The most valuable feature for me is container scanning because I am interested in CICD security."
"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The integration of Tenable into our security ecosystem was very good."
"The solution is very simple to use."
"The vulnerability management itself is the most valuable feature as well as references to the mitigation techniques."
"The best feature of the solution is the amount of visibility it provides of the vulnerabilities."
 

Cons

"Armis doesn't have a back intel feature."
"We face issues during implementation."
"Like any IT tool, continuous learning and improvement are essential for the solution."
"We face difficulties in integrating the product with ticketing tools like ServiceNow."
"There isn't anything specific that needs improvement."
"We have faced issues with the tool's stability."
"The solution's vulnerability testing could be improved."
"The stability has room for improvement."
"They should include better customization of the dashboard, and integration tools."
"More flexibility is required compared to other solutions."
"The product is a bit expensive."
"The solution seems to focus too much on enterprises, and they really need a product that works for SMBs."
"The UI has room for improvement."
"Tenable could improve visibility into assets, including automated asset tagging. You should be able to automatically tag assets based on location, function, ownership, etc. That would help us because we spend a lot of time identifying and tagging assets by hand."
"They've been able to think about everything in terms of where the world is going and the type of assets that you've got. They've everything sorted out in that aspect, but you have to pay for most of the other components that they've got to give you complete visibility across your tech surface. If it already had those capabilities in-built, without having to add them on to take advantage of them, it would be a very compelling value proposition."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is cheap."
"The solution is not too expensive."
"Compared to other VM solutions, Tenable.io Vulnerability Management is expensive."
"Yearly payments are to be made toward the licensing cost of the product. It is neither a cheap nor an expensive product."
"I would rate the pricing a five out of ten. It is in the middle."
"Tenable.io is not known for being a cheap product."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is low, and ten is high price, I rate the pricing an eight. So, it is a pretty expensive solution."
"Tenable.io Vulnerability Management's pricing solution model isn't great."
"A yearly payment has to be made toward the solution's licensing costs."
