We performed a comparison between Tenable.io Vulnerability Management and Tenable SC based on our users’ reviews in four categories. Our conclusion is presented below.
Comparison Results: Tenable SC comes out ahead when it comes to the user interface and product support. However, it is an on-prem solution only, while Tenable.io Vulnerability Management is available for both cloud or on-prem deployment and is noted as integrating well with third-party solutions.
"The solution is completely stable and operation is user-friendly."
"I like Tenable.sc's analytics and reporting. You can also configure your on-prem network monitors to talk to your Tenable.sc control panel."
"The Auto-Remediate feature is good."
"We use Tenable to scan all of our environments and plugins for vulnerabilities. Tenable helps us discover network vulnerabilities to threats and piracy."
"The predictive prioritization features are pretty good. They do a lot of research and we trust the research that they do internally. They have knowledge of what's going on with many companies, where we only get a view into what's going on here. So the ability to get best practices out of them as part of this solution, is valuable to us."
"I think that this is a good solution for evaluating vulnerability in the network."
"Compared to other products, the most valuable features of the solution are its ease of use and ability to provide visibility over scan results while providing many templates to users, making it a helpful tool."
"Support is knowledgeable."
"The solution is very simple to use."
"The ease of use in terms of scanning assets is valuable."
"Tenable.io, in particular, is quite a powerful product. It looks at your traditional environment, which is pretty much anything that is on-premises, and it also goes a step ahead and covers your modern assets, which is anything that is currently sitting in the cloud. You get complete visibility of your entire environment and tech operation. The ability to give you visibility across the entire tech surface is one of the biggest advantages that Tenable.io has."
"The product is easy to use."
"The solution is easy to use and configuration is smooth with no complexities."
"There is no burden of updating or upgrading this solution."
"It is a very, very user-friendly tool...The setup is easy"
"The vulnerability scanning is the most important aspect of the solution for us."
"We are facing some challenges related to our channel."
"The GUI could be improved to have all concerns and priorities use the same GUI, allowing them to see all tickets, assign vulnerabilities, and assign variation failures to each member of their team."
"There is not much room for improvement. However, there should be a guide that describes the step-by-step procedures for doing tasks. Otherwise, training is required from a senior guy to a junior guy."
"The vulnerability scan does not work correctly until the access privileges are set by the system administrator."
"The product could be user-friendly, and they could enhance the web application's security features."
"Tenable's reporting engine needs improvement. It needs to be more efficient and add more features."
"The biggest issue I have with the solution is when I'm using the scanning it picks up the original DNS of that device. That means, before we image it and actually change the DNS to something within our company structure, it'll just be random numbers and letters and Tenable will stick to that DNS for a long time."
"Tenable has some problems with agents going offline during scanning and lag between agents and the security center."
"I would like the solution to cover the whole cycle of mitigation since it's an area where the solution currently lacks."
"The product could be easier to set up on the cloud."
"The price could be lower."
"The solution is a bit slow."
"The solution must be promoted more in the market."
"The interface could be improved; right now it's running on two interfaces simultaneously."
"It's not a user-friendly tool since it has a complicated interface."
"The tool's reports are bad. They're not very customizable or flexible. During audits, we often have to exclude things that aren't relevant to our organization, but we can't do that easily with the reports. They come in HTML or PDF format, and we can't compare current results with previous ones in Excel because we never receive reports in Excel."
