“Vulnerability management improved, though asset tracking takes adjustment”

May 20, 2026
Our company's vulnerability management program has improved significantly since we implemented Tenable SC. It gives us a lot of information that is relatively easy to organize and filter into dashboards for our separate IT teams.

“Impressive Technical Scope Faces Obstacles from Inadequate Support and Usability Concerns”

3.0
Nov 18, 2025
Technically capable and impressive coverage of vulnerabilities. Scalable to any size. Provides enterprise-level vulnerability management. But marred by a terrible support experience and documentation. If, and that's a very big if, you can get a hand from someone capable of supporting your problems, they will be solved.

Tenable Security Center Likes & Dislikes

Like

General day to day operations are easy to do. The ease of creating Dashboards and Components to share information. TenableSC works great with all vulnerability scans and returns great results and reports.

Like

Strong vulnerability capabilities. Versatile reporting and dashboards. Comprehensive coverage.

Like

Ability to launch scans and consume data via APIs, easy to scale

Dislike

I would not call any of these dislikes, but there is a bit of a learning curve for new users and administrators. Sometimes it's difficult to get exactly what you want to report from a scan or query. Asset management can be a little tricky to figure out.

Dislike

Support that deploys a lot of delay tactics and seems to try their best not to understand the issue. The upgrade process while not complex, suffers from the lack of direction and support.

Dislike

Licensing model is not ideal for our environment
