Frequently Asked Questions
What does Tenable cost?
Tenable offers a free tier (Nessus Essentials) for non-commercial scanning up to 16 IP addresses. Paid plans like Nessus Professional or Tenable Vulnerability Management start with an annual subscription, and enterprise features require additional licensing.
Is the free version sufficient for a business?
No, the free tier is restricted to non-commercial use and limited to 16 targets. Businesses need at least Nessus Professional or a Tenable.io subscription for commercial scanning and full-featured remediation workflows.
Does Tenable integrate with SIEMs and ticketing tools?
Yes, Tenable integrates with major SIEMs like Splunk, ServiceNow, and Jira, as well as APIs for custom workflows. This allows security teams to automate vulnerability triage and remediation.
How does Tenable handle cloud security?
Tenable offers Tenable.cs (Cloud Security) for detecting misconfigurations in AWS, Azure, and GCP, and it integrates with its vulnerability management platform. It is capable, though less mature than dedicated cloud security posture management tools.
Is Tenable difficult to deploy and use?
Basic vulnerability scans are straightforward, but enterprise-level deployment and tuning require security expertise. The learning curve is moderate, and teams may need training to configure scans, prioritize findings, and use the API effectively.
Does Tenable offer a partner or affiliate program?
Yes, Tenable has a partner program where resellers and affiliates can earn a 5% commission on sales, with an average order value of $4,500. This makes it a financially attractive option for cybersecurity-focused partners.
