We performed a comparison between AWS GuardDuty and Tenable Security Center based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Palo Alto Networks, Wiz, Microsoft and others in Cloud Workload Protection Platforms (CWPP)."We like PingSafe's vulnerability assessment and management features, and its vulnerability databases."
"Cloud Native Security's best feature is its ability to identify hard-coded secrets during pull request reviews."
"It is fairly simple. Anybody can use it."
"The visibility is the best part of the solution."
"The dashboard gives me an overview of all the things happening in the product, making it one of the tool's best features."
"Support has been very helpful and provides regular feedback and help whenever needed. They've been very useful."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its storyline, which helps trace an event back to its source, like an email or someone clicking on a link."
"The user interface is well-designed and easy to navigate."
"AWS GuardDuty helps by providing continuous threat detection and signaling potential threats. Its most valuable feature is continuous monitoring. The tool's integration with other AWS services has improved security. It provides continuous monitoring and intelligent threat detection, quickly signaling any issues. I would rate this improvement a seven out of ten."
"The product has automated protection powered by AI/ML, which is now far more powerful than before. It uses AI/ML in its detection algorithm, providing fast and quick results."
"Since our environment is cloud based and accessible from the internet, we like the ability to check where the user has logged in from and what kind of API calls that user is doing."
"The solution is easy to use."
"We use the tool for threat detection. AWS includes AI features as well. AWS GuardDuty gives us reports."
"We have over 1,000 employees, and we monitor their activity through AWS GuardDuty."
"It helps us detect brute-force attacks based on machine learning."
"The solution provides AWS GuardDuty S3 protection, EKS runtime protection, and malware protection."
"We use Tenable to scan all of our environments and plugins for vulnerabilities. Tenable helps us discover network vulnerabilities to threats and piracy."
"It is a very good and user-friendly product."
"This solution has a much lower rate of false positives compared to competing products."
"The scans are the most valuable aspect of this solution."
"The Auto-Remediate feature is good."
"It's a very useful tool."
"Tenable.sc's best features are the availability model, accident management, and scoring."
"Compared to other products, the most valuable features of the solution are its ease of use and ability to provide visibility over scan results while providing many templates to users, making it a helpful tool."
"When you find a vulnerability and resolve it, the same issue will not occur again. I want PingSafe to block the same vulnerability from appearing again. I want something like a playbook where the steps that we take to resolve an issue are repeated when that issue happens again."
"They need more experienced support personnel."
"The recommended actions aren't always specific, so it might suggest recommendations that don't apply to the particular infrastructure code I'm reviewing."
"The could improve their mean time to detect."
"Cloud Native Security's reporting could be better. We are unable to see which images are impacted. Several thousand images have been deployed, so if we can see some application-specific information in the dashboard, we can directly send that report to the team that owns the application. We'd also like the option to download the report from the portal instead of waiting for the report to be sent to our email."
"PingSafe can improve by eliminating 100 percent of the false positives."
"When we get a new finding from PingSafe, I wish we could get an alert in the console, so we can work on it before we see it in the report. It would be very useful for the team that is actively working on the PingSafe platform, so we can close the issue the same day before it appears in the daily report."
"While it is good, I think the solution's console could be improved."
"There is currently no consolidated dashboard for AWS GuardDuty. It would be helpful if they could provide a dashboard based on severity levels (high, medium, low) and offer insights account-wise, especially for users utilizing automation structures."
"For me, I would say just the presentation of findings, like the dashboards and other stuff, could be improved a bit."
"The solution's user interface could be improved because it will help users to understand multiple options."
"Cost changes. It's very expensive. If you turn on every feature, it's more than most commercial vendors. For smaller orgs, that doesn't make sense."
"For the next release, they could provide IPS features as well."
"AWS GuardDuty needs to be more customer-oriented."
"It would be great if the solution had some automation capabilities."
"The solution has to be integrated with new services that AWS adds like QuickSight, Managed Airflow, AppFlow and MWAA."
"The user interface can be improved."
"Tenable SC could improve by making the creation of the initial reports easier that correspond to our network."
"The solution should include compliance-based scanning."
"Its reporting can be improved. It is not easy to generate a scan report the way we want. The data is okay, but we can't easily change the template to make it look the way we want."
"Though the solution's technical support is responsive, they do take a lot of time, making it one of the solution's shortcomings that needs improvement."
"Tenable has some problems with agents going offline during scanning and lag between agents and the security center."
"The reporting needs a lot of work on the template."
"The web application scanning area can be improved."
