Tenable grabs Gartner Peer praise as CNAPP customers’ top pick

Tenable Holdings snagged a rare spot this week as one of just two vendors earning the 2025 Customers’ Choice nod in Gartner Peer Insights for Cloud-Native Application Protection Platforms. Real users handed them a stellar 4.8 out of 5 rating, with 88% saying they’d recommend it based on 71 reviews through October 2025.

For a company already leading in exposure management, this shoutout from actual customers underscores how Tenable One pulls together visibility across cloud security, AI setups, IT gear, identities, OT, and more in a market full of scattered tools.

Eric Doerr, Tenable’s Chief Product Officer, zeroed in on what matters.Customers drive everything, he noted, and this badge reflects the trust they build daily to spot and seal gaps before trouble hits.

Meanwhile, reviewers rave about the practical side. One IT security associate in software called the CNAPP and cloud security setup a game-changer for deep dives into infrastructure, smooth workflow ties, and solid support teams that actually listen and deliver. Another director from banking loved the quick setup, intuitive dashboard, and features like “If you only have 5 mins” summaries plus “toxic combinations” alerts that sharpen remediation focus.

A retail CISO praised the constant updates and user-friendly interface, while yet another software pro highlighted straightforward setup, detailed reporting, and strong cloud safeguards. These voices cut through the noise because Gartner bases its quadrant on solid user interest, adoption rates, and overall experience, covering sales, deployment, support, and features. CNAPPs, by definition, bundle scanning, guardrails, compliance checks, risk prioritization, and behavioral analytics for cloud-native apps  and infra.

Tenable rides a wave of analyst acclaim right now, straight out of leader spots in Gartner’s 2025 Magic Quadrant for exposure assessment platforms and IDC’s global breakdown. Companies scramble for that single-pane view to escape the mess of isolated alerts, so Tenable One steps up with full asset catalogs, attack path visuals, smart prioritization predictions, and hands-off remediation powered by huge vulnerability troves from Tenable Research, the NVD, and beyond. Meanwhile, cloud growth tangles up with identity gaps and OT vulnerabilities, pushing users toward tools that truly map out how risks layer and amplify everywhere.

Teams drowning in notifications finally see proof that Tenable tunes in and evolves fast. Swing by their products page for the full scoop, but honestly, those raw customer takes drive the decisions in security shopping these days.
