We performed a comparison between GitLab and Tenable.io Web Application Scanning based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Application Security Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable features of GitLab are the review, patch repo, and plans are in YAML."
"The SaaS setup is impressive, and it has DAST solutioning."
"GitLab is being used as a repository for our codebase and it is a one stop DevOps tool we use in our team."
"The code merging capability is something that we use very frequently."
"CI/CD is valuable for me."
"The most valuable features of GitLab are ease of use and highly intuitive UI and performance."
"GitLab's best feature is Actions."
"It is scalable."
"Our customers adopt this solution because of the replication testing and the vulnerability assessment it can do. It is a multi-faceted product."
"The most valuable feature is the reporting, which provides a good level of detail with respect to vulnerabilities."
"We can get detailed information about vulnerabilities."
"The solution's instant reports feature is the most effective for detecting threats."
"It collects the vulnerabilities on the hostnames and sends them to the Tenable.io cloud. Tenable has its own cloud where Tenable.io is running, but there are many connectors to other cloud solutions. Tenable can do vulnerability scanning for other cloud managers such as Azure, Amazon, and so on."
"The most effective feature of the product is the ability to scan the entire environment."
"The solution is stable."
"It is fully automated."
"The solution could improve by providing more integration into the CI/CD pipeline, an autocomplete search tool, and more supporting documentation."
"I don't really like the new Kubernetes integration because it is pretty focused on the on-premise environment, but we're in a hybrid environment."
"GitLab could improve by having more plugins and better user-friendliness."
"Their RBAC is role-based access, which is fine but not very good."
"I've noticed an area for improvement in GitLab, particularly needing to go through many steps to push the code to the repository. Resolving that issue would make the product better. My team quickly fixed it by writing a small script, then double-clicking or enabling the script to take care of the issue. However, that quick fix was from my team and not the GitLab team, so in the next release, if an automatic deployment feature would be available in GitLab, then that would be good because, in Visual Studio, you can do that with just one click of a button."
"It can be free for commercial use."
"The integration and storage capabilities could be better."
"It would be better if there weren't any outages. There are occasions where we usually see a lot of outages using GitLab. It happens at least once a week or something like that. Whatever pipelines you're running, to check the logs, you need to have a different set of tools like Argus or something like that. If you have pipelines running on GitLab, you need a separate service deployed to view the logs, which is kind of a pain. If the logs can be used conveniently on GitLab, that would be definitely helpful. I'm not talking about the CI/CD pipelines but the back-end services and microservices deployed over GitLab. To view the logs for those microservices, you need to have separate log viewers, which is kind of a pain."
"Tenable.io Web Application Scanning conducts a general scan, which wastes time. The scan needs to be specific."
"The dashboard could be more user-friendly."
"It would be great if there were a dashboard that is more user-friendly."
"They have a general dashboard for web application scanning, but the dashboards and reporting can be improved. They probably have some features in their roadmap."
"It isn't easy to manage vulnerabilities in Tenable."
"The technical support should be improved. Currently, some attacks are detected while others are not."
"The platform's technical support services could be better."
"Tenable.io Web Application Scanning could improve by offering faster fuzzing."
