Cybersecurity Operations Engineer at a tech services company with 201-500 employees

Breach and attack simulation software that provides network, endpoint, and email vectors

According to the attack vectors, you cannot specify which product is failing or which product is working well because there's no agent. The best case scenario is to add an agent solution where an agent would have the ability to actually detect which programs aren't working. For the attack software, you put a peer on the cloud site, and you have another peer internal network. There is IPS, firewall, WAF, and DBS amongst these peers. The cloud's peer is trying to send the attack file to the internal network. Maybe the firewall is blocking it, maybe the IP, maybe the WAF, but you cannot see the details. You can say, "Yes, my security product is blocking that attack scenario," or, "I cannot block this attack."

IT Security Manager at a insurance company with 1,001-5,000 employees

Has improved our vulnerability tracking and supports cloud-based monitoring with scheduled scans

We don't have any issues with Tenable One Exposure Management Platform. It works well for us, but the only problem is the licensing aspect. In the license, it becomes problematic because when we go to cloud security for vulnerability management, it will take five licenses instead of the one-on-one license that vulnerability exposure management requires. The license needs to be reviewed.

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 of the solution is its integration capabilities with the other security tools."

"You have the liberty of physically executing a specific set of rules in your environment."

"Picus Security has improved and is still improving the security level of my organization."

"It provides good reports and offers signature-based solutions."

"It's very useful software because the customer mostly configures their IPS and manages their firewalls, WAF, and the DBS according to the latest update, latest news, or according to the situation."

"The most valuable feature of Picus Security is its threat intelligence, providing suggestions to block and prevent attacks by identifying malicious files and providing threat IDs."

"One of the most valuable features would be the detection capability, specifically the ability to detect alarms and logs collected from SIEM tools."

"The list of vulnerabilities that get detected is the most valuable feature."

"I think it's a good product for risk-based or exposure-based vulnerability management."

"Tenable EP is a great overall product for our customers; it's great at helping customers to identify current risks, it helps customers manage their risk, users can effectively analyze risk and can assign team members to take a look at items as well, the solution is very easy to set up, technical support is very helpful and responsive, and the pricing is pretty good."

"The solution is very easy to set up."

"The feature of vulnerability management and discovery is what I use."

"For me, the setup has been an easy process."

Cons

"There is room for improvement in the response rate provided by customer support."

"According to the attack vectors, you cannot specify which product is failing or which product is working well because there's no agent."

"There are a lot of other products which are performing better; as far as Picus is concerned, we have been aggressively trying to reach out to customers to try to sell it, but have not been successful."

"According to the attack vectors, you cannot specify which product is failing or which product is working well because there's no agent."

"Let's say if a customer's environment has 10 security devices and they need to know that there is an attack that has bypassed their devices, they cannot go and inspect every device and every rule in their security devices."

"The reporting and data analysis could be improved. Specifically, the analysis of the results."

"To improve, Picus Security could consider establishing a data center in India to address trust issues and increase interest from Indian customers."

"The amount of integrations that the product can handle is an area of concern, making it one of the aspects where improvements are required."

"The sensor update is a challenge that Tenable needs to address."

"The product has limited reporting capabilities and it isn't great at allowing for customization in reports."

"Tenable needs to provide a better way to manage private clouds."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"They have certain price ranges for their products, depending upon the use cases, and the number of applications the customer wants to try."
