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.
Mani Bommisetty - PeerSpot reviewer
Streamlines vulnerability management with excellent reporting and potential AI integration
Tenable is user-friendly and excels in reporting. It allows me to easily fetch and schedule reports. The software's discovery feature aids in strengthening our security posture. The single-sensor installation process on various operating systems is smooth, unlike Rapid7, which requires different versions for separate systems. Furthermore, Tenable enables vulnerability management through potential AI integration that consolidates efforts and resolves multiple vulnerabilities simultaneously.

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 the solution is asset tracking."
"The tool is user-friendly and helps to detect vulnerabilities."
"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 solution’s vulnerability monitoring system is very good."
"The technology is good."
"Armis is a straightforward and user-friendly solution."
"The initial setup and deployment were simple."
"The solution is easy to use and configuration is smooth with no complexities."
"It is very stable, and it is updated periodically by adding new vulnerabilities."
"The initial setup is not complex."
"It has greatly impacted us by providing asset visibility."
"The most valuable feature for me is container scanning because I am interested in CICD security."
"The tool has an easy-to-use interface."
"Technical support has been good. They respond quite quickly."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
 

Cons

"Like any IT tool, continuous learning and improvement are essential for the solution."
"We face issues during implementation."
"We have faced issues with the tool's stability."
"There isn't anything specific that needs improvement."
"We face difficulties in integrating the product with ticketing tools like ServiceNow."
"Armis doesn't have a back intel feature."
"The solution's vulnerability testing could be improved."
"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."
"It would be helpful if Tenable could be more clear with regard to everything the solution can and cannot do with the particular license that you have."
"I would like the solution to cover the whole cycle of mitigation since it's an area where the solution currently lacks."
"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."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"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."
"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 solution seems to focus too much on enterprises, and they really need a product that works for SMBs."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is cheap."
"Compared to other VM solutions, Tenable.io Vulnerability Management is expensive."
"Tenable charges around $40 per device."
"Tenable.io Vulnerability Management's pricing solution model isn't great."
"The total cost we pay for this solution is over 45K. This is for a large education organization."
"I would rate the pricing a five out of ten. It is in the middle."
"The product costs us around $137,000 annually for 4000 to 5000 assets."
"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."
"There are additional features that can be licensed for an additional cost."
