“Data only helps when the people, process, and technology are aligned.”
Tenable Vulnerability Management we only use for agent scans. The setup and administration took a lot of deep understanding of how the product works from deployment and is not very intuitive. When everything works, its great at scanning for vulnerabilities. But when something does not work, it becomes a trial and error scenario. It is like a Russian Doll nightmare to understand the order of how every piece must be setup and functioning. This means that one person will be the subject matter expert and labels can mean absolutely nothing helpful. Another issue is that agent licenses are consumed from the same system grabbing a new IP address via DHCP. This creates a lot of bloated fragmented data, and purging data repositories is practically impossible.
From a user and training perspective, many of our users resist using the product to learn about vulnerabilities because they just want the reported data on vulnerabilities to fix. The learning curve and setup takes too much time for them. We also struggle to maintain an accurate asset inventory with real ownership details. When an unmanaged agent is enrolled, there is little information for us to track down who enrolled it.

“Customer Support and On-Premises Scanner Management Present Significant Challenges”
support often lacks luster, the tool itself is great for vulnerability management

Operationalizing Tenable can be overwhelming without extensive guidance and resources
We inherited a pre-configured setup of Tenable. Our goal was to not only ensure business continued operations, but also to build out a formal vuln mgmt program. Our CSAM has been pivotal in enabling us to get to this point through support with Tenable engineers and ongoing meetings to guide us on the process. Its been a wonderful experience - IT Security & Risk Management Associate10B+ USDConsumer GoodsReview Source
Efficient remediation workflows, yet agent deployment and duplication issues remain
Tenable VM was simple to roll out, it is easy to assess our assets and the remediation suggestions have been great to provide to our remediation team. Additionally, the exposure score is a great way to prioritize and track remediation efforts. - IT Security & Risk Management Associate1B-10B USDIT ServicesReview Source
Clearer vulnerability insights reduce wasted time on false positives
I've been using Tenable for over 11 years. Before that I was using a competitor. The difference is night and day. Tenable is significantly easier to use. The interface is more intuitive. Work flows are cleaner, and getting actionable information takes a fraction of the effort. - Manager, IT Security and Risk Management50M-1B USDHealthcare and BiotechReview Source
Comprehensive vulnerability management, hindered by fragmented control screens
I have hands-on experience using Tenable for vulnerability management and security assessment activities. My experience includes performing vulnerability scans across servers, endpoints, network devices, and cloud environments, analyzing findings, prioritizing risks based on severity and business impact, and supporting remediation efforts with technical teams. I have worked with vulnerability reports, compliance checks, dashboard analysis, and continuous monitoring to improve security posture and identify potential exposures. Additionally, I have experience tracking remediation progress and supporting security governance and risk management processes through Tenable insights and reporting capabilities.
