ManageEngine Patch Manager Plus vs. Tenable Vulnerability Management

Its a best tool for managing and patching an corporate environment, specially the dashboards and the UI which is relatively easy to adapt for someone without prior knowledge of Patching as well. If a company has Secure Gateway Server, then the remote deployment is a plus, it helps to even remotely deploy patches to the remote employees.

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.

• All the patches are tested before delivered to us.
• It's on cloud so we does not need to maintain Hardware and Network.
• It also upgrades the hardware drivers & BIOS. But for BIOS only we use monthly updates no automatic policy just push to target computers.

Incentivized

• 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

• If this tool can fetch serial numbers of the devices on which this is deployed
• This tool should collect all application installed at client machine which is not available as of now.
• Intergate more application which can be patch using this tool.

• 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.

Very easy to use once you get used to it. It can be a little overwhelming at first since there is so many thing you can do. But as soon as you get use to it, it works like a charm.

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.

The support team at Patch Manager Plus has been awesome. Very responsive and knowledgeable. There are times when there is confusion between different tickets but there is still good service.

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.)

SolarWinds was not selected because it runs on top of
SCCM which in itself is problematic and unreliable. We need an application that
runs in standalone mode and does not rely on any other application. SolarWinds
is also one of the most expensive. Kaseya and GFI LanGuard are overkill as they contain
functionality that we do not need or already have. GFI LanGuard for instance
does security auditing the same as Qualys that we already have. Kaseya is a full
management and automation solution.

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.

• The tool is cheap compared to any quotes we asked for other suppliers
• It helps us to accomplish remediation from the vulnerabilities reported by our vulnerability management software
• It helps us to achieve our infosec goals of risk in our environment

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.
