We performed a comparison between Tenable.io Vulnerability Management and Tenable SC based on our users’ reviews in four categories. Our conclusion is presented below.
Comparison Results: Tenable SC comes out ahead when it comes to the user interface and product support. However, it is an on-prem solution only, while Tenable.io Vulnerability Management is available for both cloud or on-prem deployment and is noted as integrating well with third-party solutions.
"Tenable SC's most valuable features are the low number of false positives and the strong capability of providing prioritization for the vulnerabilities detected."
"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."
"Their overall cost of service is pretty good."
"Initial setup was pretty straightforward."
"The usability is really good. It's very easy to use and a good platform. It is scalable and very stable. The technical support is fine and the setup is super easy."
"Very customizable with a lot of templates."
"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."
"Feature-wise, Tenable Security Center is a very fast tool with many dashboards and reports, and it covers all our systems."
"It is a very, very user-friendly tool...The setup is easy"
"A new user can easily understand the workflow, even if they are creating users for other divisions and the user is a beginner."
"The vulnerability scanning is the most important aspect of the solution for us."
"The solution can integrate with third parties and meets standard compliance."
"The best feature of the solution is the amount of visibility it provides of the vulnerabilities."
"The vulnerability management itself is the most valuable feature as well as references to the mitigation techniques."
"Tenable.io, in particular, is quite a powerful product. It looks at your traditional environment, which is pretty much anything that is on-premises, and it also goes a step ahead and covers your modern assets, which is anything that is currently sitting in the cloud. You get complete visibility of your entire environment and tech operation. The ability to give you visibility across the entire tech surface is one of the biggest advantages that Tenable.io has."
"It is easy to manage. Most of the information the tool provided helped to further investigate the vulnerability and its impact."
"Security can always be improved."
"There's a lot of information being streamed out of the reports. What would be nice, and maybe we just haven't found it, would be more of an executive-type view. We still expect it to collect all this information, but we would like a feature that would allow us to show it to an executive or a director or someone like that and give them some type of high-level overview but not get into the nitty-gritty."
"Its reporting can be improved. It is not easy to generate a scan report the way we want. The data is okay, but we can't easily change the template to make it look the way we want."
"At times we have had the typical bugs."
"The reporting side can be improved. The dashboards are nice, but exporting things out for reports for management was a little tough."
"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."
"The GUI could be improved to have all concerns and priorities use the same GUI, allowing them to see all tickets, assign vulnerabilities, and assign variation failures to each member of their team."
"Tenable SC could be improved with additional connectivity to external company postures and the capability of managing and sustaining agents in the systems directly without additional platforms in the middle."
"They should include better customization of the dashboard, and integration tools."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"The price could be lower."
"The stability has room for improvement."
"I would like the solution to cover the whole cycle of mitigation since it's an area where the solution currently lacks."
"The solution seems to focus too much on enterprises, and they really need a product that works for SMBs."
"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."
"I'm not satisfied with the reporting structure."
