Worthwhile from the regulatory requirements and analytics perspective, but is expensive and not easy to use
We are a full security base integration and application business. We help with implementation and deployments. I used Guardium to help with a cloud migration to check and do some validation for a client's data landscape and services so that they made sure that they were all secure in overall…

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

"The reporting features are good and there are many built-in reports that can be quickly configured."
"The most valuable feature is that it provides a simple English recommendation on actions that you need to take once a vulnerability is discovered."
"It helped with some of the regulatory requirements. It also helped with some of the security analytics and analysis. It was worthwhile from that perspective."
"It has greatly impacted us by providing asset visibility."
"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"The initial setup is mostly straightforward."
"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."
"A new user can easily understand the workflow, even if they are creating users for other divisions and the user is a beginner."
 

Cons

"Building policies is not that easy. There are some things that are turned off by default, for example, displaying values."
"It was not as easy to use. The user-friendliness of it was somewhat lower than what I was expecting. It was also lacking in terms of the ease of the setup. There should be an automatic agent for deployment."
"The interface could be improved by having sub-groups of tests, ultimately making the process of collecting tests faster."
"The solution seems to focus too much on enterprises, and they really need a product that works for SMBs."
"The product is a bit expensive."

"The product could be easier to set up on the cloud."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"The price could be lower."
"Users get confused between VPR and CVSS ratings."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"One thing not advantageous for it was that it was a little bit more expensive. I would rate it one out of five in terms of pricing."
"Yearly payments are to be made toward the licensing cost of the product. It is neither a cheap nor an expensive product."
"Compared to other VM solutions, Tenable.io Vulnerability Management is expensive."
"The solution is not too expensive."
"A yearly payment has to be made toward the solution's licensing costs."
"There are additional features that can be licensed for an additional cost."
"The cost is determined by the number of endpoints, which is approximately one dollar per endpoint."
"Tenable.io is not known for being a cheap product."
"The product costs us around $137,000 annually for 4000 to 5000 assets."
