We performed a comparison between Amazon Inspector and Tenable Security Center 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 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 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 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 automated vulnerability detection aspect is most valuable."
"Tenable.sc is user-friendly."
"Their overall cost of service is pretty good."
"The tool provides us insight into the happens of the network and its hosts. It provides me with a list of hosts."
"The solution is completely stable and operation is user-friendly."
"The initial setup process is simple."
"Very customizable with a lot of templates."
"Initial setup was pretty straightforward."
"We really love the Security Center dashboard. It basically performs vulnerability scanning and then outputs a vulnerability data."
"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."
"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."
"Security can always be improved."
"We would like to see the inclusion of external IPs and simplified reporting that's easier to deal with"
"The user interface can be improved."
"Tenable SC can improve by adding more integrations with HCI-type tools and more accurate vulnerability detection."
"I think the vendor training provided for Tenable.sc could be a lower price. It's quite expensive for the training."
"The web application is not very functional."
"Tenable SC could be improved with additional connectivity to external company postures and the capability of managing and sustaining agents in the systems directly without additional platforms in the middle."
"The integration is very good, although it still needs to improve."
