Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
Products like Fortinet, Qualys, and Rapid7 offer the same set of services. The only common issue I found between all the products was that though the tools can be deployed on the cloud services offered by Microsoft, AWS, and Google, the products cannot be deployed on Oracle.
I am in the process of testing different solutions from vendors like Rapid7 and Qualys.
How was the initial setup?
I rate the product's initial setup phase an eight on a scale of one to ten.
The solution can be deployed in a couple of minutes.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
There is a need to opt for a subscription-based pricing model to use Tenable Cloud Security. I rate the product price an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price.
What other advice do I have?
Tenable Cloud Security is a basic tool for security engineers since most of the cloud solutions do not offer high standard compliance, like PCI DSS compliant. Most of the cloud solutions use CIS as a benchmark or reference. Microsoft has its own compliance tool.
Tenable Cloud Security is a new solution in the market and cannot be compared with the other vulnerability tools.
Speaking about how the product has improved the security posture, I would say that Tenable Cloud Security is usually installed on a person's computer, so one needs to be very careful not to make any mistakes during configuration. The cloud providers don't offer security, so it is important for a potential buyer to read the information on the way the services are provided to them by the cloud.
The product's visibility and remediation work fine for me.
Around two people are required for the maintenance of the product, considering that there are changes in cloud products and every customer is different. It is not a static solution.
I rate the overall tool an eight out of ten.
Disclosure: My company has a business relationship with this vendor other than being a customer: Partner
