We performed a comparison between Amazon Inspector and Tenable Vulnerability Management based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Vulnerability Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The automated vulnerability detection aspect is most valuable."
"The findings dashboards are neat and easy to understand, offering clear demarcations for different types of findings and detailed insights into specific vulnerabilities and their associated instances. It is not a place where everything is dumped together. It offers an easy-to-understand layout."
"The vulnerability discovery is valuable, and they also rank those vulnerabilities for you. So, you could rapidly attack some of the higher, severe vulnerabilities as they pop up, if they do pop up."
"The integration of Amazon Inspector with other AWS services has enhanced our security. Security Hub is a major asset because it allows us to centralize data from various AWS services. We can integrate third-party tools as well. It is just a single-click option."
"The initial setup is mostly straightforward."
"It is easy to manage. Most of the information the tool provided helped to further investigate the vulnerability and its impact."
"The vulnerability scanning is the most important aspect of the solution for us."
"It is very stable, and it is updated periodically by adding new vulnerabilities."
"The solution is quite friendly."
"Tenable.io Vulnerability Management is an easy-to-use product. I"
"Technical support has been good. They respond quite quickly."
"The solution can integrate with third parties and meets standard compliance."
"There is room for improvement in the scanning capabilities. I'd like to see broader coverage in terms of the vulnerabilities detected."
"There isn't too much to improve right now. Scanning on demand or as a part of the pipeline versus a post pipeline solution would be good, but it is not a deal breaker by any means."
"One major area for improvement is remediation. My team works on remediating findings over time, likely using available patches. However, easier integration with Amazon's patching services would be very helpful."
"It has a limited scope. So, AWS Inspector primarily focuses on the security of the EC2 instance. So, if your architecture includes other AWS services, then you may need to use additional tools for your comprehensive security assessment. So that is one con. Another is, like, we have a dependency on agents."
"The solution seems to focus too much on enterprises, and they really need a product that works for SMBs."
"The pricing of the solution could be more reasonable."
"The tool's reports are bad. They're not very customizable or flexible. During audits, we often have to exclude things that aren't relevant to our organization, but we can't do that easily with the reports. They come in HTML or PDF format, and we can't compare current results with previous ones in Excel because we never receive reports in Excel."
"It's not a user-friendly tool since it has a complicated interface."
"The stability has room for improvement."
"The shortcoming of the solution that needs improvement is related to its capability to do vulnerability assessments on applications."
"The solution must be promoted more in the market."
"They should include better customization of the dashboard, and integration tools."
