Tenable Vulnerability Management Pros and Cons

It is very easy to use and the user interface is really good. the best part is there is a feature called exclusion and inclusion in the tool where we can exclude or inculde selected targets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is generating a lot of false positives for example blind sql injection Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Flexibility of the tool, for both internal and external scans. Provides good reporting capabilities.

Easy to establish role based access.

Very receptive to customer requests.

Customer support team is great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Things that I have disliked with the tool have been addressed and corrected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Tenable.io just works and does what it needs to do. You can deploy internal scanners or use their cloud-hosted scanners for your external perimeter. Tenable stays on top of current events and updates and creates new plugins to detect the latest vulnerabilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

They are continually working on expanding their functionality, so they are tweaking their console. Adding functionality like more reporting, dashboards, and remediation scans. We stay current on their suggested best practices, unfortunately, too many other users did not update to newer and improved functionality and they provided old and new methods of tagging\grouping too long - confusing for new users to know what to use - I believe this is being cleaned up now.

ASM product requires more development time to fully mature Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Pre-configured dashboards are good enough and also it offers various plugins if you wish to configure with visualyzing tools like Kibana and graphana Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As said its pre-configured dashboards are good but could be better. In some point of time it didn't fulfill the requirement which was simple

Dashboard are not realtime it take its own sweet time to fetch data

POV of zero trust policy - Data is stored in public cloud Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Tenable VM is great

Tenable One is feature rich Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Tenable VM is great, but all the other offerings that come with Tenable One are just lacking

They don't keep up with the competition and just add complexity to the product

Tenable customer support is one of the worst on the market Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We can schedule the scanning. We can install agent in case of air gapped network. The vulnerability database is update regularly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It doesn't have Realtime scanning. The result/report will be destroyed after some months. There is no audit log. which may be useful for audit purposes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the interface to Tenable.io (Cloud). Our Security Compliance Engineer, Clint L., just implemented the solution, providing a more concise and precise description of our active vulnerabilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some filters and categories to review your active vulnerabilities are hidden and hard to locate within the dashboard. I had to directly discuss some of my questions with Clint, our Security Compliance Engineer, for assistance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think Tenable does an excellent job at scanning and assessment but also does a great job at organizing the data from these scans and presenting it in an easy-to-view dashboard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think there could be more focus on training beforehand to ensure the potential customer has a complete grasp on how to FULLY utilize the product. It can go very in-depth with the scanning and threat assessments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Tenable.io just does its work of managing the existing vulnerabilities in the organisation to keep the organisation up to date with the its existing vulnerabilities and maintain the vulnerability cycle so that system is secure and no data is compromised. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some functions filters or categories need to be search and take time to locate and utilize to take action on time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
