SC
Helps find vulnerabilities, reduces response time to critical vulnerabilities, and reduces false alerts
The vulnerability assessment is great. We can use it to fix all the vulnerabilities before we get them from our internal security team. It reduces a lot of false alerts. We have an option for a manual fix and an automatic fix. It clearly distinguishes what can be done by an automatic fix, which the tool can do, and what needs manual intervention. The tool gives us the steps to fix it. The automated vulnerability fixes, test deployment of patches, and the baselines are valuable. We can set a baseline or whatever we recommend and ensure the systems adhere to the baseline. The solution helps us figure out vulnerabilities and fix them. It's not an active threat-hunting tool. We use the asset management capabilities in our service desk platform. It is really good. It is beneficial since we can fix vulnerabilities. The reporting feature has helped us in compliance and risk management. We can have custom reports. I can schedule reports. We must find baselines and accordingly use them to fix some of our requirements. The solution has reduced our response time to critical vulnerabilities. We have a patching window. The tool has enabled us to get all our machines in a compliant state.

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

"The most valuable feature was the patch management, which was very effective for endpoint-centric solutions requiring remediation of vulnerabilities."
"I have been using it for over two years, and it is fantastic."
"The most valuable feature was the patch management, which was very effective for endpoint-centric solutions requiring remediation of vulnerabilities."
"ManageEngine is a comprehensive tool that is broad and can be customized to fit specific needs."
"The solution helps us figure out vulnerabilities and fix them."
"I think that this is a good solution for evaluating vulnerability in the network."
"Tenable.sc is user-friendly."
"It's a very useful tool."
"It basically reviews our threat landscape vulnerability."
"The initial setup process is simple."
"Feature-wise, Tenable Security Center is a very fast tool with many dashboards and reports, and it covers all our systems."
"I found the dashboard features very useful. It made it easy to track remediation progress. I could publish dashboards to remediation teams and track the progress on the dashboards."
"Has a great advanced scanning feature."
 

Cons

"The integration with third-party solutions such as ticketing solutions or CMDB solutions can be improved."
"The user interface is the only drawback of the product."
"One area that needs improvement is the contract management. My legal team required some partner requirements for that, and ManageEngine could not support it."
"One area that needs improvement is the contract management. My legal team required some partner requirements for that, and ManageEngine could not support it."
"The integration with third-party solutions such as ticketing solutions or CMDB solutions can be improved."
"The reports and plugins for reports and scans could benefit from enhancements."
"Certain aspects require manual effort, such as exporting and analyzing data for our dashboards. The built-in components of the Tenable solution are somewhat clumsy that require external tools. So, this is an area of improvement."
"The reports and plugins for reports and scans could benefit from enhancements."
"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."
"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."
"The pricing is reasonable, but this could be brought down more aggressively, such as we see with Rapid7, Tenable SC's main competitor."
"The dashboard templates are limited."
"We experienced some difficulties with the solution’s support."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is very reasonable."
"For 500 users the licensing fee is roughly $100,000."
"We're a Fortune 500 company... our licensing costs [are] in the seven figures."
"We pay around 60,000 on a yearly basis."
"The pricing is more than Nexpose."
"We're able to save because we don't have to employ more staff members to help wit ht he scheduling of the scans, running the reports or sending them out to the systems owners. That alone is a big ROI for us."
"Though reasonable, the main competitor of Tenable SC, Rapid7, offers a more aggressive and better priced product."
"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"
"This solution's price is quite high."
