Tenable.sc (formerly SecurityCenter) Reviews

Tenable is well suited in environments where upper-level management is heavily involved and interested in vulnerability management. As it has exceptionally easy to read and understand reports and dashboards for execs to digest and read.

It is a matter of scale more than anything. Our Tenable.SC implementation works because of the size of our environment. Rolling all of its tools into once license and package makes it easy to connect and work with our data.

Tenable SecurityCenter provides all the technical features you need with limited complexity and easy deployment. The solution creates internal/operational efficiencies and improves compliance & risk management. The product offers the ability to see and track all vulnerabilities across the enterprise in a single view. Also the support from Tenable works great. The dashboards are simple, popular, and useful. The ability for detecting threats and vulnerabilities in the system is excellent. We make scans on all of our critical servers and users' computers. We have great dashboards and present reports to our management. The solution detects false positives better than others.

SecurityCenter is definitely the juggernaut of the industry. You don't see many shops that are not using Nessus and or SecurityCenter. As a pen tester, I do not judge shops that use Nessus as a catch all, as there are a lot of things you can get hyper focused on and a tool like this helps you see things you may have missed.

All in all if you want a full featured robust vulnerability management tool this is the right one for you. However, if you are someone looking to improve your current security posture from a VM perspective sadly this will not be the answer and you would wanna look beyond traditional vulnerability scanners such as this. For smaller organizations, this would serve well for endpoints, servers and mobile devices and giving you tailored reporting capabilities for the C-Suite executives.
