Why customers choose Tenable over other
OT security vendorsCompare Tenable to other OT security vendors
Other OT security vendors
Unified platform
Integrated: Replaces siloed tools with a single platform for streamlined security operations.
Siloed: Point products lead to complexity, increased costs and limited data sharing.
Scanning technologies
Hybrid: Patented approach combines passive scanning and Active Query for complete, safe and reliable asset discovery.
Narrow: Primarily passive-only or rely heavily on agents with limited active query results.
Accuracy and coverage
Industry-leading: 94K+ CVEs, extensive protocol support and mature Active Query capabilities ensure accurate and comprehensive vulnerability intelligence across endpoints, network devices, OT, identities, cloud, web apps, containers and more.
Incomplete: Less mature discovery tools are limited to endpoints and basic SNMP-based capabilities, resulting in incomplete data and more false positives.
Prioritization
Context-aware: Combines VPR with asset criticality and considers attack vectors for accurate risk prioritization.
Limited: Doesn’t adequately consider broader business context, leading to inaccurate and incomplete risk assessments.
Configuration change tracking
Granular: Provides visibility into changes on specific device components, such as ladder logic segments and tag tables, allowing security teams to identify the root cause of anomalies and recover from incidents.
Challenging: Limited tools for tracking configuration changes make it difficult to pinpoint the exact cause of anomalies, leading to longer investigation times, increased downtime and risk exposure.
Compliance and audit
Responsive: Evaluate and track compliance with emerging standards and frameworks, including IEC62443, ISO27001, NIS2 and more. Perform password and end-of-life audits for OT devices across your network.
Lacking: Minimal or non-existent compliance tracking capabilities and dashboards.
Attack path analysis
Advanced: Highlights critical attack paths from IT to OT with AI-powered insight and remediation guidance.
Minimal: Unable to identify and analyze attack paths where attackers can traverse from IT to OT environments.
Vulnerability research and intelligence
World-class: Fueled by Tenable Research, 50 trillion data points, and a 100+ person research team.
Limited: Primarily malware-focused, lacking in-depth vulnerability context.
Technology partner ecosystem
Mature: More than 125 partners worldwide with 250+ unique integrations.
Developing: Many newer, smaller companies with limited partner ecosystems narrowly focused on OT.
Deployment and licensing
Flexible: On-prem and virtual deployment options with flexible resource-based licensing.
Constrained: Primarily cloud-only, complex and inflexible licensing models.
Support and logistics
Comprehensive: 24/7 global support, professional services and customer onboarding.
Novice: Fewer resources and smaller company sizes may limit support capabilities.
