Good features for infrastructure application; lacking in integrations with other software
There is always room for improvement in all products. With BMC I'd like to see the ability to integrate with other software. For example, having a CMDB, access to Qualys, or because we've found something from BMC, to be able to work closely to find a solution. The idea would be that it's all updated from one point automatically. I'm looking for third-party applications and integrations with other software.

Md. Shahriar Hussain - PeerSpot reviewer
A security solution for vulnerability assessment with automated scans
Additional costs are associated with using the solution, as additional scanners are required for different endpoints connected to the Tenable Security Center. If Tenable Security Center could extract information from these scanners automatically rather than manually, it would enhance user-friendliness for customers. For example, suppose I manually conducted CIS hardening or compliance scoring in a separate data centre. These scores should also be reflected in the Tenable Security Center dashboard. Since the scanner is connected to the Tenable Security Center, the dashboard should display the direct scan results from the general security centre and the connected scanners. There could be unusual activities or attacks with the rising AI-related issues or threats that the Tenable Security Center could track in the future.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Takes reports from other vulnerabilities."
"Tenable.sc's best features are the availability model, accident management, and scoring."
"The scanning part, the agent part – that's the valuable aspect."
"The initial setup process is simple."
"The tool provides us insight into the happens of the network and its hosts. It provides me with a list of hosts."
"Compliance and vulnerability scans are most valuable. Compliance scan helps in validating how our teams are complying, and vulnerability scan helps in future-proofing. Its vulnerability detection is accurate."
"The solution is completely stable and operation is user-friendly."
"It basically reviews our threat landscape vulnerability."
"The solution has a lean and easy-to-use interface that is not confusing to first-time users."

Cons

"No third-party applications or integrations with additional software solutions."
"There's a lot of information being streamed out of the reports. What would be nice, and maybe we just haven't found it, would be more of an executive-type view. We still expect it to collect all this information, but we would like a feature that would allow us to show it to an executive or a director or someone like that and give them some type of high-level overview but not get into the nitty-gritty."
"For downloading reports, we have to go to the scan and then we have to go to the reports and download the Excel or CSV or PDF. I think these menus and clicks can be minimized."
"Deploying Tenable.sc is highly complex because it's an on-prem solution, whereas Tenable.io is cloud-based, so you can go live as soon as you log in. Tenable.sc involves significant integration with other on-prem solutions, and the deployment takes about two to three weeks with the help of a system integrator"
"Its reporting can be improved. It is not easy to generate a scan report the way we want. The data is okay, but we can't easily change the template to make it look the way we want."
"The product should provide risk-based vulnerability management."
"A good plugin editor would be a good additional option for the Security Center."
"Tenable SC could improve by making the creation of the initial reports easier that correspond to our network."
"There is not much room for improvement. However, there should be a guide that describes the step-by-step procedures for doing tasks. Otherwise, training is required from a senior guy to a junior guy."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"We're a Fortune 500 company... our licensing costs [are] in the seven figures."
"I use a local license to perform penetration testing and I'm pretty happy with everything when it comes to pricing and licensing."
"The price can start at €10,000 ($13,000 USD) for between 500 and 1,000 assets, and the price can climb into the millions as more assets are added."
"Though reasonable, the main competitor of Tenable SC, Rapid7, offers a more aggressive and better priced product."
"It is slightly more expensive than other solutions in the same sphere."
"The licensing costs for this solution are approximately $100,000 US, and I think that covers everything."
"We pay around 60,000 on a yearly basis."
"My company needs to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs. The pricing of the solution falls in the mid-range level, so it is not too expensive"
