We performed a comparison between Skybox Security Suite and Tenable Nessus based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Vulnerability Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Aside from Firewall Assurance, we are using Network Assurance and Change Manager for an overview of the whole network and for documenting requests and the recertification of the ruleset."
"The performance could be good because we chose it at the time, but it is too complex for us to appreciate its performance because we lack the necessary skills."
"The ability to appropriately prioritize vulnerabilities inside the environment, and then to have visibility into the traffic and rule sets of an organization, are two of the top capabilities that I recommend. Skybox is the only one that does both of those in a single platform."
"The product's most valuable feature is vulnerability management."
"Robust modules can be used for different parts of network security."
"I think that compliance checks and policy compliance are the product's good features."
"Security review is the most important feature, because it offers a single pane of glass to analyze multiple firewalls."
"When you import all the assets that you have, like desktops, servers, networks, devices, routers, and then firewalls, and other products, then Skybox makes like, a model of the network, but with context. So, it is not just a model in VIZIO. Or something like it like that. You get the model with context, and, like, it looks like a real network in a real-time. So you can check your network and the security of your network on that model."
"Tenable Nessus streamlines the process of scanning for our organization."
"The ease of use is the primary valuable feature. This specific version is very straightforward. I like the ability to modify it and configure it based on the different policies."
"The solution can scale well."
"The trial version is very good for testing whether it will suit your needs."
"The most valuable feature of Tenable Nessus is vulnerability detection."
"A valuable feature of the solution is that it is easy to understand."
"The most valuable features are that it's fast, it's easy to use and it provides good reports."
"Among the most valuable features are scanning for vulnerabilities and the reporting. The reporting templates are okay. I like that I can see all the hosts with different vulnerabilities."
"The setup documentation needs a lot of improvement."
"The price is costly, and I hope they can reduce the cost."
"The support could be improved."
"The solution needs to move improve its interface to a full web browser version that is more accessible and doesn't require installation for use."
"The solution needs to add more automation and orchestration capabilities. Those features would make the solution much stronger."
"The tool does not offer options for customization."
"There are multiple dashboards but no custom dashboard. It would be good to include a custom dashboard so that we can actually choose which field and what kinds of things we want to look at."
"There is room for improvement in pricing. It would be better, especially if a customer bought all four modules."
"There is room, overall, for improvement in the way it groups the workstations and the way it detects, when the vulnerability is scanned. Even when we would run a new scan, if it was an already existing vulnerability, it wouldn't put a new date on it."
"Model OS costs (and its segregation schema for individual modules)."
"The reporting could be improved. The reporting in Rapid7 is much better."
"Tenable Nessus application device assessment is one of the top tools. However, in the application security assessment, there are other tools that provide better, and more accurate findings."
"Pricing is one of the most important features, and it is something that they can improve on."
"We feel the solution's technical support to be very bad."
"The solution could improve by having better integration with different vendors' IPS solutions. The ACLs and IPS policies signatures should be enabled based on the results of Tenable Nessus automatically, we currently have to do it manually which is very time-consuming. It has done a good job integrating with Fortinet but we would like it to be better integrated with other solutions that we have."
"I would like to see an improvement in the ranking of high, medium and low vulnerability."
