Israel Cavazos Landini - PeerSpot reviewer
Weekly insights and risk analysis facilitate informed security decisions
I appreciate the weekly insights Zafran provides, which include critical topics for networks and IT security, allowing us to evaluate which insights apply to our environment. The organization score feature is valuable to keep the leadership team updated on how our infrastructure fares security-wise. The applicable risk level versus base risk level feature is beneficial because prior to Zafran, we only used the base risk level, but now understand that risk depends on the asset itself. Zafran is an excellent tool.
Corey Cole - PeerSpot reviewer
The solution helps users to manage their entire IP range, but it's unreliable and very expensive to maintain
Only the administrator was using the product. He used it to read reports as part of our compliance programs. It wasn't heavily used by a lot of users. The tool comes in at a large scale, and we tried to scale it down. The scaling did not apply to us. It was neither difficult nor easy. I rate the scalability a five out of ten. We had some challenges while scaling it down. It could do 10,000 devices, and we wanted to use it for ten devices. The process was difficult and expensive. We did not need the product anymore.

Empower clients with risk-based vulnerability management through continuous workflow and valuable insights
Tenable Security Center could improve by implementing more dynamic data displays and translating reports into European languages. This is especially relevant in Central Eastern Europe, where clients often require reports in local languages. Additionally, the licensing model could be more flexible for managed security providers, similar to a pay-as-you-go model.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Zafran is an excellent tool."
"Zafran has become an indispensable tool in our cybersecurity arsenal."
"We could manage our entire IP range with the solution."
"Tripwire IP360 is a very stable solution."
"It's become the pinnacle point for anything that enters the network or anything that's passing through to production to first be affected by IP360, hardened, and up to standard. For our integrity management, one was deployed in the bank about two years ago and that's still going to expand the usage and the product itself. That will go hand in hand with training and expanding the product as for where it's deployed."
"Support is knowledgeable."
"It basically reviews our threat landscape vulnerability."
"Has a great advanced scanning feature."
"The scanning part, the agent part – that's the valuable aspect."
"The most valuable features in Tenable SC are scanning and analysis."
"We use Tenable to scan all of our environments and plugins for vulnerabilities. Tenable helps us discover network vulnerabilities to threats and piracy."
"Initial setup was pretty straightforward."
"The solution is very intuitive and the dashboards are simple to use."
 

Cons

"Initially, we were somewhat concerned about the scalability of Zafran due to our large asset count and the substantial amount of information we needed to process."
"We need to dedicate time and resources to keep it running."
"I am not very impressed by the technical support."
"The reporting functions can use improvement. There is room for growth because reporting functions differ a lot depending on what you're going to output. It depends on whether it's for technical or senior management and how it's interpreted. There could be growth within the reporting functionality side."
"At times we have had the typical bugs."
"It's important for Tenable to catch up on testing capabilities that are present in solutions like Qualys."
"The reports and plugins for reports and scans could benefit from enhancements."
"The reporting side can be improved. The dashboards are nice, but exporting things out for reports for management was a little tough."
"The reporting needs a lot of work on the template."
"The dashboard templates are limited."
"Security can always be improved."
"The product could be user-friendly, and they could enhance the web application's security features."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The product was expensive for us."
"I believe the price compares well within the market."
"The price of Tenable SC is expensive, we pay approximately €70,000 for the license annually. We have to pay for each IP test. The cost of other solutions is far less, such as Nessus Professional, which is €3,000 annually."
"Costing is pretty reasonable compared to the competition."
"We pay around 60,000 on a yearly basis."
"It is a bit expensive. Everything is included in the license."
"It is slightly more expensive than other solutions in the same sphere."
"We're happy with the licensing cost and find it affordable."
"Tenable SC is priced per asset, with the basic solution starting around US$12,000 for 500 assets."
"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."
