"Essential for Proactive Identity Risk Management"

4/5

What do you like best about Tenable Identity Exposure?

I value the clear and actionable visibility Tenable Identity Exposure provides into identity risks, offering a comprehensive 360-degree view across on-premises, hybrid, and cloud environments. Its ability to score risks gives administrators a prioritized list of issues to address, coupled with practical remediation guidance. The tool's intelligence in detecting advanced Active Directory attacks is impressive, enabling a proactive approach to identity security challenges instead of a reactive one. The attack path mapping feature is particularly beneficial as it shows potential horizontal attack paths. I appreciate that this is an agentless solution, which minimizes risks and keeps things clean. Additionally, I find its compatibility with other security solutions like SIEM, SOAR, and EDR extremely advantageous as it integrates seamlessly into a broader security framework.

What do you dislike about Tenable Identity Exposure?

I find the learning curve for new users to be quite steep. You need to be technically enabled to effectively use Tenable Identity Exposure. Additionally, there's room for improvement in correlating exposure scoring with business or commercial impact, providing organizations with a real-world scenario and impact. This aspect of value-based scoring could make prioritization more meaningful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
