Microsoft
It's very well suited in the managed service provider space to service the small to medium businesses. We haven't used it much up at the enterprise level. Small to medium enterprises, though, it's fit for purpose. I couldn't speak to the enterprise. It makes sense, especially when it comes to developing cyber awareness amongst the knowledge workers in the security operations center. It keeps people's eyes on the ball.

[Tenable.sc (formerly SecurityCenter)] does very well for internal scanning for vulnerabilities, however it needs to be combined with Tenable.io in order to do cloud scanning.

Cons
Microsoft
  • We'd always like it to go deeper. It's not a red team. It's not a pen test, we know, but just cross referencing vulnerabilities. It's easy to just keep going deeper and deeper and deeper.

We decided to go with Tenable due to its robust reporting capabilities and competitive pricing vs its competitors. While all tools are very similar in regards to scanning capabilities we prefer Tenable SC's user interface. We also like the option to have both on-prem and cloud with theirs. Tenable io product as well.
