Enhanced endpoint security with effective patch management and frequent scans

The most valuable feature was the patch management, which was very effective for endpoint-centric solutions requiring remediation of vulnerabilities. ManageEngine Vulnerability Manager Plus was the perfect fit for managing these requirements. We improved the number of scans and patches performed from four times per year per computer to four times per month.

Good dashboards, reporting, and technical support, with a low rate of errors

Parallel scanning would be a nice improvement because it would speed up the detection process. It is not possible to search for vulnerabilities and do compliance checking at the same time. Rather, they are done one after the other. The integration is very good, although it still needs to improve. For example, it would be useful to have better integration with other tools in the space of identity management (IAM). As it is now, integration with new tools has to be developed specifically, so it's not easy. We would like to see better collection capability for external data that will help to improve detection and discovery.

Cons

"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."

"One area that needs improvement is the contract management. My legal team required some partner requirements for that, and ManageEngine could not support it."

"A good plugin editor would be a good additional option for the Security Center."

"Support could be faster."

"We experienced some difficulties with the solution’s support."

"We would like to see the inclusion of external IPs and simplified reporting that's easier to deal with"

"The solution needs to improve its support. I would like to see a bird's eye view of my network architecture. I would also like to see the continuous view feature in the tool."

"Tenable.sc is more expensive than its competitors."

"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"

"We pay around 60,000 on a yearly basis."

"The pricing is more than Nexpose."
