Featured Reviews

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.
Israel Cavazos Landini - PeerSpot reviewer
Weekly insights and risk analysis facilitate informed security decisions
I appreciate the weekly insights Zafran provides, which include critical topics for networks and IT security, allowing us to evaluate which insights apply to our environment. The organization score feature is valuable to keep the leadership team updated on how our infrastructure fares security-wise. The applicable risk level versus base risk level feature is beneficial because prior to Zafran, we only used the base risk level, but now understand that risk depends on the asset itself. Zafran is an excellent tool.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution's most valuable feature is providing a single pane of visibility on all the infrastructure and its status."
"It has greatly impacted us by providing asset visibility."
"The initial setup is mostly straightforward."
"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 management itself is the most valuable feature as well as references to the mitigation techniques."
"It is pretty stable. I would rate it nine or maybe ten."
"It's a recommended tool for penetration testers because it's effective for that purpose."
"Zafran is an excellent tool."
"Zafran has become an indispensable tool in our cybersecurity arsenal."
 

Cons

"The product could be easier to set up on the cloud."
"An area of improvement for this solution is being able to customize the dashboard. For example, the dashboard does not allow us to view a previous months vulnerability results alongside current results to make comparisons."
"The user interface could be improved by being able to change the user interface to fit your position or your job. The graphs are set in stone and you can only print reports."
"The reporting was never great in Tenable Vulnerability Management, so, in my company, we imported all the data into Ivanti RiskSense to start using it for reporting."
"The only drawback of the solution is that it is expensive."
"The price could be lower."
"It's not a user-friendly tool since it has a complicated interface."
"The shortcoming of the solution that needs improvement is related to its capability to do vulnerability assessments on applications."
"Initially, we were somewhat concerned about the scalability of Zafran due to our large asset count and the substantial amount of information we needed to process."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is not too expensive."
"Compared to other VM solutions, Tenable.io Vulnerability Management is expensive."
"The total cost we pay for this solution is over 45K. This is for a large education organization."
"Tenable charges around $40 per device."
"The product costs us around $137,000 annually for 4000 to 5000 assets."
"There are additional features that can be licensed for an additional cost."
"Tenable.io is not known for being a cheap product."
"The tool is reasonably priced."
