Tenable Cloud Security is powerful, there are areas that could be improved. The initial setup and integration with complex cloud environments can be a bit time-consuming and may require technical expertise. Some dashboards feel overwhelming with too much data and limited customization options. The alerting system could benefit from more granular control to reduce noise from low-priority issues. In certain cases, scan times for large environments can be longer than expected. I’ve also noticed that documentation, while extensive, isn’t always clear or up to date for newer features. The pricing structure might be a concern for smaller organizations. Additionally, support response times can occasionally be slower than ideal. Despite these drawbacks, the platform remains a valuable tool for cloud security management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While the platform is powerful, the initial setup and configuration can feel complex, especially for organizations without a mature cloud security framework. Some advanced features require fine-tuning to avoid excessive noise or false positives. Additionally, pricing may be a consideration for smaller teams, as the cost can add up when scaling across multiple cloud accounts. More streamlined onboarding and clearer guidance for less experienced teams would be a valuable improvement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This tool offers comprehensive visibility into misconfigurations, excessive permissions, and compliance risks across various cloud platforms. What I appreciate most is its graph-based IAM visualization, which makes it easy to identify risky privilege escalation paths in both AWS and Azure. Additionally, it comes with robust pre-built policies for compliance frameworks such as CIS and NIST. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

At first glance, some dashboards may appear somewhat cluttered, and the options for customization could be more adaptable. Additionally, setting up the initial cloud provider permissions can be challenging if you don't have a strong background in cloud IAM, which can be particularly difficult for teams that are new to CSPM.
