Re: GreenBone vs Tenable

At my previous private sector gig at a large enterprise (30K nodes), we switched from Tenable to R7. Main factors:


-          2-way workflow with ticketing (ServiceNow)

-          Better built-in remediation guidance

-          Better integration into cloud workloads

Now, I'm looking at a much smaller environment with a much smaller budget. We have Saint licensing just for servers.

________________________________
Afternoon,

Does anybody have any experience with NNT/GreenBone?  I'm seeing a large price difference between them an Tenable (with 
Tenable being the big boy).  I'm starting an investigation into vulnerability management, so ideas or options are 
welcome.
