Likelihood to Recommend	For user end devices this product has worked great for us.

CVM has also provided us visabity on all our devices that we never had before and we can close gaps security wise a lot faster knowing now where problems are at Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Tenable.sc is best suited for those organizations who are not very comfortable with Cloud and want an on-premises solution. If any organization has to follow some guidelines that no data should go to the cloud, in this case, Tenable.sc is a perfect fit as it's installed in the infra Datacenter and no data goes to Cloud. Tenable.sc won't be appropriate for those who have their infra setup on cloud. Incentivized Chandan Singh Rathore Senior Technical Consultant Read full review
