Likelihood to Recommend

Tenable.io is a useful tool to use in any scenario where you are looking to increase your visibility of security vulnerabilities in the organization. It supports a large number of use cases for vulnerability management and would only not really be very appropriate for anything that is not supported by the solution (not yet encountered in our organization).
