4.5/5
What do you like best about Cisco Vulnerability Management (formerly Kenna.VM)?

Cisco Vulnerability Management displays all current vulnerabilities in a nice layout, allowing you to display servers based on various criteria. It helps me to keep my servers up-to-date and ensure that they are safe. Links are provided to either fix a vulnerability or provide a workaround for it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

As a user, there is no way to quickly check if a vulnerability still exists after providing a fix/workaround. I need to wait for the next automatic scan or request a rescan through our IT department. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Pros and Cons of Kenna"
4/5
What do you like best about Cisco Vulnerability Management (formerly Kenna.VM)?

Pros of Kenna is that it is extremely easy to learn and has a clean interface that can be utilized at all levels. Whether your are the remediation team or the CEO, Kenna can provide data in a straight to the point fashion making it very appealing to organizations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I think the biggest dislike about Kenna is they haven't seemed to update many features to stay up to date with competition features, even though it can still be accomplished with Kenna, it may require additional tools for an organization to purchase.

This can be treated as a pro as well though, because Kenna knows what they do well and stay in their lane rather than spreading themselves too thin. Regardless the power of Kenna should not be underestimated for its users, as it has a lot of value. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Cisco VM, a centralized view of your organization's risk"
4/5
What do you like best about Cisco Vulnerability Management (formerly Kenna.VM)?

The most helpful feature of Cisco Vulnerability Management, in my opinion, is that it offers a complete view of all your asset. In one page, you can have a clear view of which is the most critical asset and in a few clicks you can learn how to recover it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The downside of Cisco Vulnerability Management is the custom query string feature and the filtering option. The former is not "user-friendly" and you have to read the guide to form a complex sentence (auto-completion or hints would be a killing feature while you are typing wildcards); the latter has an issue when the group of assets changes, indeed the filters are not updated.
