User Testimonials
	GFI LanGuard	Tenable Attack Surface Management
Likelihood to Recommend	GFI Software -To track the vulnerability level of a windows network. -To push windows and other application updates from a central location. -Produce reports to highlight work being done to protect a network. In some organizations, you may have to prove for audit reasons you are enforcing policies put into place around cyber-security. This software can help you track work done on an ongoing basis for such purposes. Incentivized NH Norman Hazlewood IT Manager Read full review	Tenable Tenable Attack Surface Management simplifies not just your vulnerability management needs but also the mapping and discovery of known and unknown internet assets. All this within a very intuitive online dashboard, making it relatively easy to setup and configure. Without having to spend hours of training time in order to use basic functions. Incentivized Stephan van der Merwe Cyber Security Analyst Read full review
Pros	GFI Software Install an agent to thoroughly scan machines to discover vulnerabilities. Keeps there lists up-to-date with applications outside of windows and lets you know when an update is available. Incentivized NH Norman Hazlewood IT Manager Read full review	Tenable Maps external facing infrastructure and continuously updates this data Can display the scan results in Business Context to help with management reporting Great Asset Management tool Powerful vulnerability scanning engine Incentivized Stephan van der Merwe Cyber Security Analyst Read full review
Cons	GFI Software It could be a bit of information overload which some things are shown can become noise. Maybe different levels of "security" for lack of a better term may be better where you have a summary vs detailed level when it comes to rating the vulnerability of the entire network. I find I sometimes have issues with PCs on a different network accessed across a VPN where timeouts often occur with very large updates. This aspect can be improved. Incentivized NH Norman Hazlewood IT Manager Read full review	Tenable No improvement can be suggested at this moment as it fits our needs and more Incentivized Stephan van der Merwe Cyber Security Analyst Read full review
Support Rating	GFI Software I only tried to access there support once and it was a relatively pain-free process. They also have a lot of documentation available online which can be used to learn and tailor the software to suit your needs. It just takes time and effort to plan, execute and monitor going forward. Incentivized NH Norman Hazlewood IT Manager Read full review	Tenable Very fast and helpful support staff. From the Vendor as well as the local Distributor. Support like that makes adding such a product to our MSSP offering the obvious choice. Incentivized Stephan van der Merwe Cyber Security Analyst Read full review
Alternatives Considered	GFI Software WSUS was the other alternative I considered but I believe GFI takes updates, reporting, and functionality to a different level for an enterprise/medium-size business environment. Incentivized NH Norman Hazlewood IT Manager 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. Incentivized Stephan van der Merwe Cyber Security Analyst Read full review
Return on Investment	GFI Software Certainty. It allows you to know where on your network needs attention. Peace of mind. As security professionals, we can only put the necessary things in place to prevent malicious persons from exploiting a network. The software allows you to know whether or not your risk of exploitation is high or low. and if high what to do with it. Incentivized NH Norman Hazlewood IT Manager 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
