Find out in this report how the two Risk-Based Vulnerability Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The reports in Rapid7 InsightVM are useful when compared to competitors."
"There are many integrations with things like the VMware NSX that are great, the reporting is really solid."
"One of the most valuable features is it's graphical dashboard feature. It is quite easy to manage the widgets, and we can customize those according to our queries."
"The most valuable features are its reporting capabilities and the host discovery functionality."
"InsightVM's best features are the vulnerability database and remediation steps."
"I have been in contact with technical support and they are not bad."
"The solution is automatically scheduled so it runs by itself."
"The most valuable feature is the site scanning, where we can provide a complete subnet and what it is we need to scan on those devices."
"What is useful to me is being able to fulfill very customized scanning policies. In the clinical environment, because of vendor control, we can't perform credential-vulnerability scanning. And network scans, which I've done before, can cause a lot of impact. Being able to create very customized policies to be able to routinely scan and audit our clinical networks, while simultaneously not causing impact, is important to us."
"Tenable is the leading product for vulnerability scanning."
"Feature-wise, Tenable Security Center is a very fast tool with many dashboards and reports, and it covers all our systems."
"The most valuable feature of the product is the Assurance Report Card, which gives us an overview of the security poster in just a simple glance."
"The tool provides us insight into the happens of the network and its hosts. It provides me with a list of hosts."
"The Auto-Remediate feature is good."
"It's a very useful tool."
"I like Tenable.sc's analytics and reporting. You can also configure your on-prem network monitors to talk to your Tenable.sc control panel."
"It would be great to have a mobile application client. Currently, you have to use a mobile web browser on a device, but it is not similar to the desktop web browser in terms of user experience. It would be nice to have a mobile application to access the platform."
"It is still not a fully cloud-based solution. It will be helpful for customers if it is a complete cloud solution. It is a hybrid solution at the moment."
"InsightVM could be improved by providing passive scanning as an option."
"There are not enough templates, and the reporting is weak with this solution."
"The reporting has room for improvement. You cannot customize any report. If I need a specific requirement, I have to create a new report for it."
"The reporting is a little bit tricky because it can be difficult to exactly pinpoint some of the assets to filter them and generate a report."
"This solution creates false-positives which can cause issues with reporting."
"It would be nice to have an additional feature that would provide reports on who has logged onto the console or who did what on the console."
"We experienced some difficulties with the solution’s support."
"It's good at creating information, it's good creating dashboards, it's good at creating reports, but if you want to take that reporting metadata and put it into another tool, that is a little bit lacking."
"Additional costs are associated with using the solution, as additional scanners are required for different endpoints connected to the Tenable Security Center. If Tenable Security Center could extract information from these scanners automatically rather than manually, it would enhance user-friendliness for customers."
"Current web page needs improvement, slows down processes."
"I will say it's a lot slower compared to an MS scan. It takes so much longer, so the performance could definitely be worked on."
"The solution should provide better web application features and support."
"For downloading reports, we have to go to the scan and then we have to go to the reports and download the Excel or CSV or PDF. I think these menus and clicks can be minimized."
"The pricing is reasonable, but this could be brought down more aggressively, such as we see with Rapid7, Tenable SC's main competitor."
