Compare Tenable with industry vulnerability management solutions

Tenable on-premises and cloud-based sensors provide active scanning to deliver the broadest coverage of assets and vulnerabilities in the industry. In addition, Tenable provides agent-based scanning to increase scan flexibility (support on- or off-network hosts), reduce network impact, and eliminate the need to manage credentials for vulnerability scanning.

From IT to OT, Nessus Network Monitor which is included with SecurityCenter Continuous View and with Tenable.io, illuminates blind spots so you can see and protect your entire environment. Tenable provides a safe and non-intrusive way to discover and monitor even the most sensitive systems.

Tenable.io Container Security seamlessly and securely enables DevOps processes by providing visibility into the security of container images – including vulnerabilities, malware and policy violations – through integration with the build process.

Tenable provides continuous visibility into the systems running in your environment, including IoT devices, for unmatched asset insight. Pre-built IoT dashboards and reports enable users to quickly assess the assets and risks they pose to their environment.

Tenable provides more than 450 audit and configuration policies for a wide range of assets, including operating systems, databases, applications, network and virtual infrastructure, sensitive content and anti-virus.

Tenable provides real-time network and host activity monitoring, enabling advanced analysis of vulnerability, threat, network activity, and event information to deliver a continuous view of the security exposure within an environment. The data gathered by Nessus Network Monitor and log collection engine help provide that additional context that point-in-time active scanning alone can't provide.

Tenable users can quickly and easily identify the most at-risk systems on their network through customizable, prioritization dashboards. Assets identified as the most vulnerable, most infected with malware, most policy violations, most out of compliance, etc. can be quickly identified to help administrators make the best prioritized decisions about administration and mitigation efforts.

Tenable provides users with actionable remediation steps, where available, for identified vulnerabilities.

Tenable provides customers access to rich vulnerability data for better visibility into their risk posture through the Assure partner ecosystem.

In addition, Tenable works closely with technology partners to deliver a wide range of pre-built integrations.

Tenable's unique asset-based licensing is more flexible than traditional IP-based licensing - it easily accounts for dynamic assets such as containers, and eliminates the double counting that more rigid models impose.

Tenable's portfolio includes both cloud and on-premise solutions enabling live discovery of all assets, continuous visibility into the security and exposure of those assets, context to any exposure to prioritize remediation, and strategic insight to create a metrics-driven program where Cyber Exposure is quantified and measured alongside every other business exposure.

Tenable provides the first and only solution to include management of active and passive sensors, web application scanning, and container security all in an easy-to use, unified management console.

Tenable offers hundreds of pre-built, highly customizable HTML5-based dashboards and reports to quickly give the visibility and context needed to take decisive action to reduce exposure and risk.
