Forescout Platform vs. Tenable Vulnerability Management

I strongly recommend using it in networks where many machines enter, it is essential to have a capture of all ids, mac etc to prevent and detect unauthorized machines.We are in the technological era and there is a lot of technological robotization looking for weak systems to enter.Invest in greater security and that does not happen to you.

Tenable.io is a cost effective Internal and External scanner. The Internal scanner came with a .ova, so it was very simple and quick to deploy it into our ESXi environment. It has a cloud-based dashboard for management and the internal scanner is configured to auto-update from Tenable.io. The license came with 4 External PCI scans (with remediation) a year.

• Great in monitoring what applications versions are running and on what devices.
• Good identification of unmanaged devices and segregating them.
• Endpoint visibility.

• Wide range of capabilities that can be customized to fit each user's environment and needs
• Provides high-quality data and insights into detected vulnerabilities
• Great customer support

Incentivized

• Grow the Forescout community to help in addressing concern for a larger audience via channels
• More training and demos for latest FS versions released
• GUI can be made more interactive and aesthetic in appearance

• Configuration is not always intuitive, but the comprehensive training and documentation comes to the rescue.
• The mix of classic and beta UIs currently is confusing and we find the classic UI is actually better.

We like to renew tenable each year we have had it so far.

Overall it is good, it took a little while to understand it and figure things out but once you have a good grasp on it then, it is very good.

They are prompt in their response with a complete resolution once they have identified the problem. Other OEM's generally give stop-gap arrangements and then later come with new upgrade versions. This gives downtime tasks to customers often, which isn't appreciated. Given the criticality of this software, their support is prompt.

Support is usually really great at walking you through any steps you need to take when you get stuck on something. There are a few false positives and errors that have come up over the years that required their help to get through. Unfortunately, the steps required to diagnose some problems are more tedious than I think should be necessary. (IE: SQL instances can throw errors that clog up your logs because one plugin affects it in a certain way. The process to diagnose this is to watch timestamps of plugins in a log while monitoring the SQL logs at the same time and using your best guess as to what is causing it.)

CounterACT was the product that was able to do exactly what we were looking to accomplish and that was to block non-company owned devices from connecting to our network based on our criteria. It will allow us to decide if a blocked device should be allowed on our network temporarily

I think Tenable and Qualys have a lot of similarities, I continue to go back to Tenable because of my familiarity and comfort level with it. I've also used a company called SecurityMetrics which has vulnerability scanning included but it is not as comprehensive as Tenable.

• We have been able to achieve deeper levels of security.
• It has been able to counter most threats through the detection of rogue devices and segregating them.
• Fostered accountability as guests' devices is signed in by employees so as to track activities they may be undertaking.

Incentivized

• We're able to mitigate over 90% of our vulnerability risk without too much effort. It helps find where automated patching fails and we can plan a fix from the findings.
• A side effect of our scanning reveals new devices on our network that aren't cleared to be.
