"Fix vulnerability with a feather touch and be secured"

4/5

What do you like best about Cisco Vulnerability Management (formerly Kenna.VM)?

Simple and interactive tool that scans through the system to fix vulnerability, in an effective manner and display the reports in a dashboard that is very much user-friendly. Able to customise features Welland is easy to maintain. Proper updates and popups regarding the security and autofixing them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cisco Vulnerability Management (formerly Kenna.VM)?

At times I get confused on the layout and it is not cost-effective. But for features offered the price is reasonable. Can be made a bit more user-friendly and interactive features could attract more of the customers. The report download takes time and data management is not effective. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cisco Vulnerability Management (formerly Kenna.VM) solving and how is that benefiting you?

It helps to secure the system and fix the general vulnerability that the organisation is exposed to. Good assessment and asset management package. For an organisation which is exposed to more vulnerability and require continuous protection, I recommend Kenna which is a bit expensive and not that user-friendly comparing competitors, but does the job. Worth the money for the supplied features but for a basic user the features are more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The "Easy Button" for Security"

5/5

What do you like best about Cisco Vulnerability Management (formerly Kenna.VM)?

Pre-Kenna our teams used to manage vulnerability scanning via multiple spreadsheets (attested/non-attested) and it was a veritable nightmare. I love Kenna's ease of use, I love the dashboard functionality and the wild card searches and saved filters that I can create and use to keep what's most important to me on the forefront. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cisco Vulnerability Management (formerly Kenna.VM)?

There is a bit of a learning curve with Kenna, but that's par for the course with any new application. What I struggled the most with was knowing exactly how to query in the filter section, but there is a short blurb to tell you how to do it, so I eventually worked it out. If you're like me and expect everything to be intuitive without having to read instructions (haha), just know, that you do have to read some. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cisco Vulnerability Management (formerly Kenna.VM) solving and how is that benefiting you?

Kenna is helping us to streamline our vulnerability review and remediation process. It's infinitely helpful to be able to sort by asset and see all vulnerabilities immediately, instead of piece mealing like we did before. This really cuts down on the number of changes we have to be up for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Kenna Security Platform Review !!"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Cisco Vulnerability Management (formerly Kenna.VM)?

Kenna Security is a very good platform for Vulnerability and Risk Intelligence that correlates the vulnerability, threat, and zero-day data and analyzes it with active breaches.

The best part of this platform that I like is-

1. It will give you a report based on its intelligence and the data collected. Once you get the report, you can work further towards remediation.

2. Easy to manage once you have a good hand on the platform

3. Automates the scanned data and real-time internet breaches /or threat intelligence Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cisco Vulnerability Management (formerly Kenna.VM)?

As a new user, you may experience some difficulty while handling it. You may need to do some research to write queries for the data that you are looking for. As of now, this is the only thing that I don't like.

But this is a time being. Once you are familiar with the platform, it is easy to handle. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
