    I've been using this product since it began as an open source product, I really like it and for the money, I think it's probably the best choice for most companies who need a product like this. Over the years I've seen the interface change quite a bit and sometimes I think it's a bit unclear how to do certain things and the different packages can be confusing, these are the only reasons I'm giving it a 9 instead of a 10.

    Tripwire Enterprise is great for hosting/data center environments and it greatly helps where console screenshots and reporting fill a lot of our client internal audit needs for security and change control.

    Pros
    Tenable
    • Setup of the internal scanner was fairly simple and straight forward.
    • An update came out for the internal scanner that allows you to add an Internal Certificate Authority for lookup.
    • Has automated reporting to keep executives and compliance departments informed.
    • Internal scanner can be configured to auto-update itself.
    • "Recast Rules" allows your organization to redefine a vulnerabilities' classification, if it is not applicable or your disagree.
    • External PCI scans allow you to remediate before submitting to Tenable.io for review.
    • Tenable.io staff was very patient and helpful. They provided some limited guidance with remediation.
    • Internal and External scans can be automated. schedule for the automated scans is very granular.

    Cons
    Tenable
    • Expensive - You do pay a slight premium for the best product in the space.
    • Asset management is difficult to work with if you have a lot of asset turnover, the license can be ''held'' for 3-6 months after the asset is gone from your environment.

    • In previous versions the management console was a little hard to navigate in some respects.
    • I'm sure this has changed over time but we hope the reporting system has gotten more granular.
    • I really don't have to many cons for this product, I recommend it for every company I work for!

    Overall it is good, it took a little while to understand it and figure things out but once you have a good grasp on it then, it is very good.

    Support Rating
    Tenable
    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.)

    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.

    Honestly, I haven't used other products to do what Tripwire does, it's always my first recommendation.

    Return on Investment
    Tenable
    • Since this is a requirement for our PCI compliance and the cost is relatively low, the ROI isn't really something we need to think too much about, Tenable's pricing is fair and affordable.

    • Tripwire has been a positive business impact for us because of its trusted name. Our customers require software like Tripwire because they know their data and security concerns are in good hands when it's deployed.
    • The ROI for Tripwire is also a positive for our business because of the time and man power saved in due diligence and reporting for our clients' internal auditing.
