Tenable Security Center Reviews

I primarily use Tenable.sc to search availability and for our workstation server and data center.

Tenable.sc's best features are the availability model, accident management, and scoring. It also gives fewer false positives than its competitors.

Tenable.sc's user interface could be improved.

I've been using Tenable.sc for about two months.

Tenable.sc is very stable.

Tenable.sc is scalable.

Tenable's technical support is good.

The initial setup was easy as we use the cloud version.

Tenable.sc is more expensive than its competitors.

I would give Tenable.sc a rating of eight out of ten.

In my previous company, we were using both Tenable IO and Tenable SC. We had the on-prem and the cloud versions. IO was a cloud version, and SC was on-prem.

In my new company, they do use Tenable, but I'm not part of that team. They have the latest version.

I found the dashboard features very useful. It made it easy to track remediation progress. I could publish dashboards to remediation teams and track the progress on the dashboards.

The reporting side can be improved. The dashboards are nice, but exporting things out for reports for management was a little tough.

We had the on-prem version and the cloud version, and I wasn't a big fan of having different consoles. It would have been nice to be able to have all those features in the cloud version because on-prem is a little tough to manage.

I've been using it for about two years. I switched positions about six months ago, and at the moment, I am not using it. 

I find it stable.

It was pretty straightforward.

We had a consultant from Tenable with us.

I would rate it a seven out of ten.

I am using Tenable SC for vulnerability management and for the dashboards.

The most valuable features in Tenable SC are scanning and analysis.

Tenable SC can improve by making it easier to create complicated reports and have more effectiveness in the remediation area for comparison between the scans.

I have used Tenable SC within the past 12 months.

Tenable SC is stable.

Tenable SC support has been very helpful.

The setup of Tenable SC is easy.

I rate Tenable SC an eight out of ten.

We had a requirement to connect multiple branches into one console. We installed Nessus at multiple locations and then connected Nessus. We did the service scan and got the report on the central site with Tenable SC.

Previously, we were using Nessus, which required a lot of manual work in terms of reporting. We do a lot of customization, and Tenable SC has been very helpful. Reporting is just a click away in Tenable SC, whereas it used to take a long time to create a similar report and customize it in Nessus. 

Tenable SC is good for reporting and alerting. The filtering feature is also very valuable.

Its integration with multiple vendors is quite good. It can be integrated with SIEM solutions and PAM solutions such as Thycotic, which is very helpful.

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.

Our usage is the same. Currently, no increment is required in terms of the license.

They are good.

We used to use Rapid7, but there were too many false positives. So, we switched to Nessus, but in Nessus, we faced the challenge of reporting. Nessus required a lot of manual work in terms of reporting. Tenable SC has been quite helpful for reporting. 

It is not straightforward. When you do integrations, it turns into a complex solution, but this complexity is required. If security is a priority, then complexity will be there for enterprise security.

It didn't take a long time. In one month, we were able to configure and run the reports. Everything was done within a month. We were in desperate need of such a solution, and this solution came. We already knew about integrations from the white papers and documents available on the Tenable website. They were very helpful. So, doing integration was not an issue. We did it without much effort. 

I was heading this project as a project manager.

It is a much better solution than other competitors. It provides almost everything that is required in terms of vulnerability management. If you are looking for overall enterprise security in terms of integrations and vulnerability management, you should go for Tenable SC or Tenable SCCV.

I would rate Tenable SC a nine out of ten. 

Our primary use case is for vulnerability assessment of our internal network.

The scans are the most valuable aspect of this solution. The reporting isn't so good but I use scans the most. The reporting needs a lot of work on the template. 

There should be an easier way to build your own type of reports because the data is there but it is quite painful to get what I want from it. I prefer Tenable SC to other solutions.

We have been using Tenable SC for a little more than two years. 

Stability and scalability are good. The administrators use it. We have three regular users. 

We have contacted their customer support and they were fine.

We didn't have any issues with the initial setup. 

We pay around 60,000 on a yearly basis. 

Nessus is for a single company and tenable SC is for when you've got multiple repositories. SC is the same as Nessus, except it's got central logging. It's the same thing. For large widespread companies, you use SC, if you're a small to medium-sized company, you use Nessus.

I would rate it an eight out of ten. Not a ten because of the reporting. It needs improvement.
