Andrew W

VP - Information Technology at a financial services firm with 201-500 employees

Tells us about vulnerabilities as well as their impact and helps to focus on real issues

Looking at all the different pieces, it has got everything we need. Some of the pieces we do not even use. For example, we do not have Kubernetes Security. We are not running any K8 clusters, so it is good for us. Overall, we find the solution to be fantastic. There can be additional education components. This may not be truly fair to them because of what the product is going for, but it would be great to see additional education for compliance. It is not a criticism of the tool per se, but anything to help non-development resources understand some of the complexities of the cloud is always appreciated. Any additional educational resources are always helpful for security teams, especially those without a development background.

Ondrej Kováč

Solution Engineer at Exclusive Networks Czechia

Has vulnerability detection, software composition analysis and asset management features

Due to its robust nature, the platform's adoption can be overwhelming initially. However, once organizations start using it, they tend to get used to it. I haven't had much direct interaction with the support team, but some partners have reported a desire for better support for the product. Another area needing improvement is the implementation complexity, especially in multi-cloud environments. Tenable Cloud Security's features mean there's a steep learning curve, which can consume significant time and resources to utilize the platform's potential and fully see immediate benefits. It's similar to AI in that you must spend time fine-tuning and training before it truly helps.

Mani Bommisetty

Infrastructure patching Manager at a manufacturing company with 1,001-5,000 employees

Streamlines vulnerability management with excellent reporting and potential AI integration

Tenable is user-friendly and excels in reporting. It allows me to easily fetch and schedule reports. The software's discovery feature aids in strengthening our security posture. The single-sensor installation process on various operating systems is smooth, unlike Rapid7, which requires different versions for separate systems. Furthermore, Tenable enables vulnerability management through potential AI integration that consolidates efforts and resolves multiple vulnerabilities simultaneously.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"We're monitoring several cloud accounts with Singularity. It is convenient to identify issues or security failures in any account. It's nice to have all the details we need to solve these issues."

"We liked the search bar in PingSafe. It is a global search. We were able to get some insights from there."

"The most valuable aspect of Singularity Cloud Security is its unified dashboard."

"Cloud Security has provided a single view to observe all workloads, prioritization for handling cloud assets, and reduced noise by distinguishing false positives effectively."

"The most valuable features are automated threat response, AI detection, and static and dynamic detection."

"They're responsive to feature requests. If I suggest a feature for Prisma, I will need to wait until the next release on their roadmap. Cloud Native Security will add it right away."

"It is advantageous in terms of time-saving and cost reduction."

"Overall, I would rate it a ten on ten for cloud security."

More SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security pros

"The solution’s vulnerability management feature has helped us identify and mitigate risks well."

"The product's visibility and remediation work fine for me."

"Ermetic can provide super visibility for our cloud environment (we are using AWS)."

"The tool alerts us on depreciating performance or deficiencies of our web application. It helps us react on time."

"If you have multi-cloud tenancy using AWS and Azure, you can have a single dashboard where you can onboard all the cloud infrastructure and have visibility into it."

"Tenable Cloud Security excels in vulnerability detection, one of its strongest features. Another valuable feature is software composition analysis, which highlights and automates the detection of security flaws. Additionally, their knowledge base is excellent; if anything goes wrong, they provide clear guidance on what needs to be done to address specific vulnerabilities."

"The key benefit lies in having the largest and most up-to-date database. When it comes to using any Tenable product, it excels in finding vulnerabilities and providing analytics."

"Scanning and reporting are the most valuable features of Tenable Cloud Security"

More Tenable Cloud Security pros

"The solution is quite friendly."

"The price of Tenable.io Vulnerability Management is reasonable as it is ten times cheaper than other options."

"It is very stable, and it is updated periodically by adding new vulnerabilities."

"It is easy to manage. Most of the information the tool provided helped to further investigate the vulnerability and its impact."

"There is no burden of updating or upgrading this solution."

"A new user can easily understand the workflow, even if they are creating users for other divisions and the user is a beginner."

"The solution is easy to use and configuration is smooth with no complexities."

"The vulnerability scanning is the most important aspect of the solution for us."

More Tenable Vulnerability Management pros

Cons

"It does not bring much threat intel from the outside world. All it does is scan. If it can also correlate things, it will be better."

"For SentinelOne, improvements could be made in managing Internet dependency as cloud-based operations can pose challenges in environments with limited connectivity."

"PingSafe can improve by eliminating 100 percent of the false positives."

"When we get a new finding from PingSafe, I wish we could get an alert in the console, so we can work on it before we see it in the report. It would be very useful for the team that is actively working on the PingSafe platform, so we can close the issue the same day before it appears in the daily report."

"I would like additional integrations."

"In terms of ease of use, initially, it is a bit confusing to navigate around, but once you get used to it, it becomes easier."

"Some of the navigation and some aspects of the portal may be a little bit confusing."

"The cost has the potential for improvement."

More SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security cons

"Ermetic needs to improve its security scanning. I would like to see more dynamic graphical forms."

"The product must provide more features."

"I didn't find anything that wasn't useful or needed to be added."

"There is a need for the support team to improve their response time since it is one of the areas where the product's technical team has certain shortcomings."

"I have faced several bug incidents with the solution"

"Tenable needs to offer a patch-based solution since it is an area where the tool lacks a bit."

"If Tenable Cloud Security offers a complete Cnapp solution with CWP, CIEM, and Waap security, it will be able to compete with other competitors."

"I do think there might be room for more integrations. This could allow for further customization and flexibility, essentially offering different functionality options to accommodate various budgets."

More Tenable Cloud Security cons

"The only drawback of the solution is that it is expensive."

"The solution is a bit slow."

"It can have more integration."

"Technical support from Tenable is rated six out of ten. It needs improvement in response time and addressing feature requests promptly."

"t needs additional reporting and intelligence features, as well as enhancements in AI-driven detection, which is still in its early stages."

"AI integration for reporting in Tenable would be beneficial."

"We'd like to see a bit more user-friendliness."

"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."

More Tenable Vulnerability Management cons
