Considered Both Products
Tenable Security Center
Chose Tenable Security Center
Tenable.sc [(formerly SecurityCenter)] has been around for a long time and in our opinion offered the easiest configuration for compliance scanning and it's rating system was more impressive than Rapid 7's.
Chose Tenable Security Center
Tenable.sc can be installed so easily within an hour or so and it has user-friendly GUI with inbuilt industry-based customizable reports i.e. HIPAA, GDPR, ISO standards, etc. It also includes a configurable workflow engine that helps to speed up response and remediation, reduce …
Chose Tenable Security Center
My organization is strictly prohibited from using cloud services. Tenable.sc offers cloud service but we needed on-premises services. Therefore, Tenable.io was eliminated by Tenable.sc.
Chose Tenable Security Center
We decided to go with Tenable due to its robust reporting capabilities and competitive pricing vs its competitors. While all tools are very similar in regards to scanning capabilities we prefer Tenable SC's user interface. We also like the option to have both on-prem and cloud …
Chose Tenable Security Center
We selected Tenable because is one of the best solution at the moment. Tenable is a powerful tool that we use for validation of our patching methodology. This is very helpful if you are only patching what the vendor deems as critical and then with this external validation you …

Chose Wiz
Prior to Wiz, I have used mostly AWS security services such as security hub for CSPM and GuardDuty for threat intel. Although these services are great, it makes it hard to centralize this information in a multi-cloud deployment. It is understandable that AWS native services may …

Better UI/UX , Adoption rate on development greater the others
Chose Wiz
None. Last time we evaluated this area was years ago. There are none that stack up to Wiz.
Chose Wiz
Wiz aggregates date the best showing you the full attack path to remediate your issue and catch it from the roots.
Chose Wiz
Wiz excelled in a robust real-time assessment held against all platforms and came out on top in a sophisticated scoring system.
Chose Wiz
After previously utilizing Orca and testing Tenable, we preferred Wiz over the competition. The reporting, usability, and feature-rich platform enabled us to investigate security risks and issues simultaneously.
Chose Wiz
As someone relatively new to the security space, coming from a software engineering background in identity, I don’t have deep experience across a wide range of security tools. That said, based on the products I have used—such as Palo Alto’s Cortex XDR, Panorama, GlobalProtect, …
Chose Wiz
Wiz is a solid solution over these other products, it has capabilities in all clouds that we utilize that others didn't have at the time. Its much easier to segment access than CrowdStrike as an example. Engineers quickly because familiar with the tool to help reduce the …
Chose Wiz
We chose Wiz over Tenable.io due to its agentless deployment, holistic security graph, and cloud-native focus. Wiz’s quick setup, intuitive interface, and advanced risk prioritisation provided actionable insights faster, making it a better fit for our multi-cloud environment.
Chose Wiz
We previously used Lacework but transitioned to Wiz as part of our effort to improve cloud security visibility and streamline risk management. While Lacework provided useful insights, we found that Wiz offered a clearer, more intuitive interface and better collaboration …
Chose Wiz
Wiz was better than anything else we looked at.
Chose Wiz
After the evaluation, Wiz performed the best due to the information gathered and the ability to share the data.
Chose Wiz
Tenable.io and Qualys are good just for vulnerability management. Wiz has very good capability to show all issues on single console and also it has provision to show them in different dashboards in different category. It shows cloud configuration gap, AWS cis benchmark gap and …

Tenable Security CenterWiz
Likelihood to Recommend
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.

Wiz is well-suited if you want to run real-time scans against resources that were recently patched or configured. It is good to keep track of vulnerabilities found and what can be done to resolve the issues without having to open up multiple tabs. Overall, it is good to keep an eye on how well cloud teams or cloud security teams are doing.

  • Getting started with Wiz was quick and painless. The onboarding process was well-structured, and their team provided solid support to help us integrate Wiz into our cloud environments with minimal effort. Documentation is clear, and their customer success team is always on hand to help with any questions, making the adoption process seamless
  • One of Wiz’s biggest strengths is how clearly it presents security risks. It provides a well organised view of issues, making it easy to see where action is needed. The AI-powered Remediation Wizard is a great feature, offering guided fixes and automation options that speed up resolution, reducing the time spent manually investigating and fixing issues.
  • The Wiz interface is intuitive and easy to navigate, which is a big plus when dealing with complex environments. Everything is laid out in a way that makes it simple to drill down into issues

Cons
  • Tenable could make it easier to report on missing reg key.
  • Tenable can also make it easier to report on os level patches vs application patches.

  • Wiz scanning doesn't detect risks in real time. New sensors are now included and these capabilities are growing. I believe that within a year Wiz will get good real time capabilities
  • Wiz can generate a lot of alerts, which can be overwhelming, especially if you have a very dynamic environment. It's important to set up filters so that you only receive alerts for the risks that are most important to you.
  • Wiz can improve the way it augments the vulnerability data with additional data on Technologies. It sometimes has missing technologies but updated its inventory as soon as we opened a case on that.

Prior to Wiz, I have used mostly AWS security services such as security HUB for CSPM and GuardDuty for threat intel. Although these services are great, it makes it hard to centralize this information in a multi-cloud deployment. It is understandable that AWS native services may provide more info and realtime security analysis of its services, but does not scale well with a growing organization looking to leverage amazing tools from other CSPs. Wiz may not have real time analysis or the most relevant vulnerability findings for cloud platforms compared to their native solutions, but Wiz scales extremely well, which in cases is a more valuable asset.

  • We haven't completed a full rollout yet, but the goal is to shift left security to all of our product teams so that security is a shared effort across the organization.
  • We want to be able to demonstrate fast remediations, corrective action plans with tangibles from Wiz in response to audits or red team findings.
  • We would like to also use information from Wiz to substantiate answers to security questionnaires that customers requires us to fill out in order to do business with them.
