Tenable Vulnerability Management
Chose Tenable Vulnerability Management
I think Tenable and Qualys have a lot of similarities, I continue to go back to Tenable because of my familiarity and comfort level with it. I've also used a company called SecurityMetrics which has vulnerability scanning included but it is not as comprehensive as Tenable.
Chose Tenable Vulnerability Management
Tenable.io was a clear winner in regards to features and capability when compared to OpenVAS, Qualys, and Nexpose. OpenVAS is a fork of an older version of Nessus Scanner(from Tenable) and has been updated over the years to a great free alternative. It takes a lot more manual …
Chose Tenable Vulnerability Management
Skipping since I don't have too much familiarity with similar products.
Chose Tenable Vulnerability Management
Tenable.io has a comparable set of features, with excellent support and a competitive price. After less than desirable experiences with another company, we moved to Tenable and haven't looked back since.
Chose Tenable Vulnerability Management
Rapid7 is actually very comparable to Tenable.io in terms of automated scans, automated reporting, internal and external scanners, and remediation of external scans. But for less than the cost of a Rapid7 solution that comes with internal scans only, I received more hosts …

Tenable.io is a cost effective Internal and External scanner. The Internal scanner came with a .ova, so it was very simple and quick to deploy it into our ESXi environment. It has a cloud-based dashboard for management and the internal scanner is configured to auto-update from Tenable.io. The license came with 4 External PCI scans (with remediation) a year.

  • Configuration is not always intuitive, but the comprehensive training and documentation comes to the rescue.
  • The mix of classic and beta UIs currently is confusing and we find the classic UI is actually better.

Support Rating
No answers on this topic
Support is usually really great at walking you through any steps you need to take when you get stuck on something. There are a few false positives and errors that have come up over the years that required their help to get through. Unfortunately, the steps required to diagnose some problems are more tedious than I think should be necessary. (IE: SQL instances can throw errors that clog up your logs because one plugin affects it in a certain way. The process to diagnose this is to watch timestamps of plugins in a log while monitoring the SQL logs at the same time and using your best guess as to what is causing it.)

Return on Investment
No answers on this topic
  • We're able to mitigate over 90% of our vulnerability risk without too much effort. It helps find where automated patching fails and we can plan a fix from the findings.
  • A side effect of our scanning reveals new devices on our network that aren't cleared to be.
