Good features for infrastructure application; lacking in integrations with other software
We deal with server automation and end-point automation. Right now we're working with a very big client. We're partners with BMC and I'm an Information Security GRC Senior Consultant.  The solution is valuable because it takes reports from other vulnerabilities - scanners like Nessus, Rapid7 and…

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."
"The valauble feature is compliance reporting system."
"Tenable.sc's best features are the availability model, accident management, and scoring."
"Compared to other products, the most valuable features of the solution are its ease of use and ability to provide visibility over scan results while providing many templates to users, making it a helpful tool."
"I think that this is a good solution for evaluating vulnerability in the network."
"We really love the Security Center dashboard. It basically performs vulnerability scanning and then outputs a vulnerability data."
"The most important features are the dashboard and reporting. The dashboard provides statistics with graphs and bar charts for our management."
"Tenable's most valuable features are the credential scan, vulnerability reports, and vulnerability ratings (VPR)."
"The product is our second solution, and we are happy that it meets our requirements."

Cons

"No third-party applications or integrations with additional software solutions."
"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."
"It's good at creating information, it's good creating dashboards, it's good at creating reports, but if you want to take that reporting metadata and put it into another tool, that is a little bit lacking."
"The product could be user-friendly, and they could enhance the web application's security features."
"Tenable SC can improve by making it easier to create complicated reports and have more effectiveness in the remediation area for comparison between the scans."
"The vulnerability scan does not work correctly until the access privileges are set by the system administrator."
"The dashboard templates are limited."
"If I want to have a very low-managed scan policy, it's a lot of work to create something which is very basic. If I use a tool like Nmap, all I have to do is download it, install it, type in the command, and it's good to go. In Security Center, I have to go through a lot of work to create a policy that's very basic."
"I think the vendor training provided for Tenable.sc could be a lower price. It's quite expensive for the training."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Tenable is open-source."
"Tenable.sc is more expensive than its competitors."
