"The performance is good."
"The most valuable feature for me is the risk calculation based on monthly effects."

"Compared to other products, the most valuable features of the solution are its ease of use and ability to provide visibility over scan results while providing many templates to users, making it a helpful tool."

"The Auto-Remediate feature is good."
"I think that this is a good solution for evaluating vulnerability in the network."
"Feature-wise, Tenable Security Center is a very fast tool with many dashboards and reports, and it covers all our systems."
"Their overall cost of service is pretty good."
"Initial setup was pretty straightforward."
"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."
"The solution needs to improve its vulnerability design to include CVC results."
"Some of our customers want to be completely cloud based, and Rapid7 doesn't offer this as an option."
"Patch management is the only missing feature I can think of. Rapid7 detects vulnerabilities, but it should also help you manage patches."
"The solution could improve by being more secure."
"This solution creates false-positives which can cause issues with reporting."
"There are certain limitations because of the product being used on a hybrid model. Rapid7 InsightVM doesn't offer a solution purely in the cloud."
"A definite improvement would be to make it easier to run ad-hoc scans without needing to assign the asset to a site or group."
"Current web page needs improvement, slows down processes."
"The solution's user interface has some issues."
"Deploying Tenable.sc is highly complex because it's an on-prem solution, whereas Tenable.io is cloud-based, so you can go live as soon as you log in. Tenable.sc involves significant integration with other on-prem solutions, and the deployment takes about two to three weeks with the help of a system integrator"
"The tool's initial configuration is not so easy."
"We would like to see the inclusion of external IPs and simplified reporting that's easier to deal with"
"A good plugin editor would be a good additional option for the Security Center."
"The vulnerability scan does not work correctly until the access privileges are set by the system administrator."
"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."
