Tenable.sc, a vulnerability management tool, has proven to be invaluable for organizations in scanning and identifying infrastructure vulnerabilities. With its user-friendly GUI and straightforward setup process, users have found it easy to install and navigate. By connecting their computers and network devices to Tenable.sc, it becomes the go-to vulnerability scanner, allowing for centralized management and discovery of assets on the network. Large organizations especially benefit from the user group privileges feature, as it enables them to assign vulnerabilities to relevant teams for efficient problem resolution.

One of the key use cases of Tenable.sc is its ability to provide comprehensive visibility and vulnerability management across an entire environment. Users report that it effectively resolves visibility issues by consolidating and analyzing vulnerability data from various devices such as servers, PCs, and network and mobile devices. Real-time alerts and the ability to prioritize vulnerabilities further enhance its capabilities in identifying weaknesses in the infrastructure.

Moreover, Tenable.SC is widely used for maintaining compliance with industry regulations. For example, a division of a university utilizes this tool to ensure compliance with PCI DSS, NIST SP 800:171, FERPA, and HIPAA regulations. By collecting and correlating log data, scans, and network traffic, Tenable.SC enhances the security view of data and systems.

Overall, users find Tenable.sc to be an essential tool for vulnerability management, offering consolidated reports on infrastructure loopholes that facilitate easy patching. Its user-friendly interface, distributed architecture, comprehensive coverage, and compliance capabilities make it a valuable asset for organizations striving to enhance their security posture.

In user reviews, three common recommendations for the CONTEXT include: 1) Users suggest considering the Tenable web client as an alternative to the sc version. This recommendation implies that the web client may offer a better user experience or more features compared to the sc version. 2) Reviewers recommend seeking the assistance of an expert for reports and onboarding process. This suggestion implies that hiring a knowledgeable professional can help improve efficiency and ensure a smooth transition for new users. 3) Users mention the need for enhancements in the onboarding process. This recommendation suggests that there may be room for improvement in terms of providing clearer instructions, tutorials, or support resources to help users get started quickly and easily with the product.

Tenable.sc [(formerly SecurityCenter)] is being used for our vulnerability management program across the whole organization. It identifies weaknesses in our infrastructure that need addressed.
  • Identifies vulnerabilities
  • Measures CIS Compliance
  • Vast majority of reporting capabilities
  • Big Learning Curve
  • Unable to do AWS or other cloud scanning
[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.
  • Customizable
  • Very fine access control
  • May different ways to view data
  • It has greatly increased our ability to remediate vulnerabilities with the various data points it provides.
  • We can now get the right vulnerabilities in front of the right teams due to it's access control, which greatly reduces how long a vulnerability is in our environment.
Tenable.sc [(formerly SecurityCenter)] has been around for a long time and in our opinion offered the easiest configuration for compliance scanning and it's rating system was more impressive than Rapid 7's.

Tenable.SC is used by my division of the university to assist in maintaining PCI DSS, NIST SP 800:171, FERPA and HIPAA compliance. By collecting and correlating our log data and connecting the data found in scans and network traffic, we are able to have a better view of the security of our data and systems.
  • Correlating log data to security scans.
  • Active and passive scanning.
  • Data reporting.
  • Easier API access to data.
  • GUI to develop normalization rules (as opposed to scripting in the shell).
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.
  • An affordable solution.
  • Savings on additional Nessus licenses.
  • A decrease in the staff time needed to analyze raw data.
None, N/A
On all of the occasions that I have had to reach out to Tenable for assistance, they have been extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Solutions and support are provided quickly, and they work on the issue until it is resolved.

Tenable products are being used all across the organization for vulnerability management. This is the heart of our vulnerability and exception management process and we rely on Tenable products for providing accurate data of the vulnerabilities currently present in our environment right from Windows/Linux servers to PCs to network devices to mobile devices.
  • Great plugin feed and is refreshed every day giving you the power to be ahead of those one-day attacks
  • Extremely simple to use UI with good filtering capabilities
  • Reporting is one thing in which Tenable has surpassed other vendors
  • Wide array of templates for reports and dashboards
  • No room for customization via API
  • Interaction with database is very limited
  • Agent Scan importing into SecurityCenter is not even close to stable
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.
  • ROI from Tenable suite of products has been well worth its cost.
  • Their pricing model has changed and they charge higher than their competitors but for the usage we have currently it serves us well.
  • Customization might not be what was expected but I believe we are using the tool to the fullest.
Its competitors like Rapid7 and Qualys are really good substitutes and where they improve in other aspects such as scanning they lack in terms of reporting and filtering. It all boils down to your usage and if you need elaborate reporting capabilities and integrations and so on then Tenable is worth looking at else you can pick any of the three.
