Alternatives Considered	Cisco We run a flavor of multiple products and CVM enhances/complements those tools by pinpointing where the vulnerabilities are at on our network. Intune and Automox being products CVM works well with when its time to patch affected systems. Tenable we used prior to CVM and its product was too complex and clunky and always had issues with asset duplication. CVM simplified vulnerability scanning and made it a lot easier to manage compared to Tenable Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Tenable We didn't test any other solutions. Because to be frank no other solution can compare feature-wise as well as ease of use. Which makes reselling and supporting any Tenable product such an obvious choice for us.

Return on Investment	Cisco We have lowered our companies risk score from 850 to 660 in less than 6 months. We have mitigated over 120,000 Vulnerabilities on our network since using CVM. We have been able to streamline/prioritize patch management based off scans CVM provides from our assets. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Tenable This solution is most definitely a great Return on Investment because it can quickly and accurately discover and report on our clients' entire Internet facing real estate. And keep this data updated with any changes. Incentivized Stephan van der Merwe Cyber Security Analyst Read full review
