Find out in this report how the two Vulnerability Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution offers very nice dashboards and they've recently added a very good Java-based web interface."
"Key features for us include the firewall change audit every week. Also, being able to track firewall ACL usage, so that we can produce semiannual reports on ACL usage and shadowed and redundant rules on the firewall."
"It can be integrated with a vulnerability management solution. When a client comes, apart from pitching network and firewall change management, we are recommending having vulnerability management. So, rather than just having the audit of the firewall, they can integrate it with their vulnerability management solution, which could be Rapid7, Qualys, or any other solution. This provides them the most value out of the platform. That is the way we are approaching our customer base."
"This type of tool does a great job of reaching into those other devices producing risk recommendations, compliance recommendations, and a single plane of glass to do your queries, so you can find where these rules might exist."
"The most valuable feature is firewall management."
"I am impressed with the tool's change management, firewall and network assurance."
"It has a good policy management feature and can provide customers with good quality outputs."
"Skybox deployment is simple, and it's very useful."
"Has a great advanced scanning feature."
"What is useful to me is being able to fulfill very customized scanning policies. In the clinical environment, because of vendor control, we can't perform credential-vulnerability scanning. And network scans, which I've done before, can cause a lot of impact. Being able to create very customized policies to be able to routinely scan and audit our clinical networks, while simultaneously not causing impact, is important to us."
"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."
"Tenable.sc is user-friendly."
"The most valuable features of Tenable SC are scanning, reporting, dashboards, and automation."
"Tenable is the leading product for vulnerability scanning."
"We use Tenable to scan all of our environments and plugins for vulnerabilities. Tenable helps us discover network vulnerabilities to threats and piracy."
"Their overall cost of service is pretty good."
"Skybox Security Suite can improve the change management module. It is the one part of the tool that is used with the firewall devices and you have a change management module that is used to record changes of all firewalls in the company. It's not compatible with all brands, this is where they can improve the solution."
"There is room for improvement in the technical support."
"Modifications and the deletion of existing policies are currently unavailable."
"The vendor's support is terrible."
"The solution does not support certain devices or vendors in some regions or countries due to regulations."
"The setup documentation needs a lot of improvement."
"The support could be improved."
"The price could be cheaper."
"Tenable SC could improve by making the creation of the initial reports easier that correspond to our network."
"In terms of configuration, there is some level of flexibility that we are not able to achieve."
"The solution is expensive."
"Current web page needs improvement, slows down processes."
"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."
"The product should provide risk-based vulnerability management."
"The user interface can be improved."
"There's a lot of information being streamed out of the reports. What would be nice, and maybe we just haven't found it, would be more of an executive-type view. We still expect it to collect all this information, but we would like a feature that would allow us to show it to an executive or a director or someone like that and give them some type of high-level overview but not get into the nitty-gritty."
