Mani Bommisetty - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Doesn’t identify threats and vulnerabilities, and the reports are quite useless
We run the penetration testing and look at the reports. The reports are quite useless. We are looking for a different product. The tool did not help enhance our organization's cybersecurity posture. The reports had a lot of false positives. They didn't detect anything. The tool didn’t identify any vulnerabilities. The solution must detect threats and vulnerabilities.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"Tenable is user-friendly and excels in reporting."
"The best feature of the solution is the amount of visibility it provides of the vulnerabilities."
"The tool has an easy-to-use interface."
"I would rate Tenable's dashboards and reporting capabilities for illustrating security posture a nine out of ten, with ten being the best."
"The integration of Tenable into our security ecosystem was very good."
"The interface is fine."
"Penetration testing and scans are useful features."
 

Cons

"The shortcoming of the solution that needs improvement is related to its capability to do vulnerability assessments on applications."
"The solution seems to focus too much on enterprises, and they really need a product that works for SMBs."
"We'd like to see a bit more user-friendliness."
"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."
"Tenable could improve visibility into assets, including automated asset tagging. You should be able to automatically tag assets based on location, function, ownership, etc. That would help us because we spend a lot of time identifying and tagging assets by hand."
"I'm not satisfied with the reporting structure."
"I'd like to see them improve their support."
"There needs to be better dashboard navigation."
"The reports are quite useless."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There are additional features that can be licensed for an additional cost."
"Compared to other VM solutions, Tenable.io Vulnerability Management is expensive."
"The solution is not too expensive."
"A yearly payment has to be made toward the solution's licensing costs."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is low, and ten is high price, I rate the pricing an eight. So, it is a pretty expensive solution."
"Tenable.io Vulnerability Management's pricing solution model isn't great."
"Tenable.io is not known for being a cheap product."
"I would rate the pricing a five out of ten. It is in the middle."
