We performed a comparison between Microsoft Defender for Cloud and Tenable Cloud Security based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud-Native Application Protection Platforms (CNAPP) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It's helped free up staff time so that they can work on other projects."
"The agentless vulnerability scanning is great."
"The management console is highly intuitive to comprehend and operate."
"The offensive security feature is valuable because it publicly detects the offensive and vulnerable things present in our domain or applications. It checks any applications with public access. Some of the applications give public access to certain files or are present over a particular domain. It detects and lets us know with evidence. That is quite good. It is protecting our infrastructure quite well."
"PingSafe released a new security graph tool that helps us identify the root issue. Other tools give you a pass/fail type of profile on all misconfigurations, and those will run into the thousands. PingSafe's graphing algorithm connects various components together and tries to identify what is severe and what is not. It can correlate various vulnerabilities and datasets to test them on the back end to pinpoint the real issue."
"Cloud Native Security's best feature is its ability to identify hard-coded secrets during pull request reviews."
"The solution's most valuable features are its ability to detect vulnerabilities inside AWS resources and its ability to rescan after a specific duration set by the administrator."
"The dashboard gives me an overview of all the things happening in the product, making it one of the tool's best features."
"Defender is user-friendly and provides decent visibility into threats."
"The dashboard is very good. It gives our clients a lot of information and allows them to have a complete overview of the system. Everything is visible in one glance."
"The entire Defender Suite is tightly coupled, integrated, and collaborative."
"We saw improvement from a regulatory compliance perspective due to having a single dashboard."
"It takes very little effort to integrate it. It also gives very good visibility into what exactly is happening."
"One of the features that I like about the solution is it is both a hybrid cloud and also multi-cloud. We never know what company we're going to buy, and therefore we are ready to go. If they have GCP or AWS, we have support for that as well. It offers a single-panel blast across multiple clouds."
"The technical support is very good."
"We can create alerts that trigger if there is any malicious activity happening in the workflow and these alerts can be retrieved using the query language."
"The tool alerts us on depreciating performance or deficiencies of our web application. It helps us react on time."
"Ermetic can provide super visibility for our cloud environment (we are using AWS)."
"The solution’s vulnerability management feature has helped us identify and mitigate risks well."
"The key benefit lies in having the largest and most up-to-date database. When it comes to using any Tenable product, it excels in finding vulnerabilities and providing analytics."
"If you have multi-cloud tenancy using AWS and Azure, you can have a single dashboard where you can onboard all the cloud infrastructure and have visibility into it."
"The product's visibility and remediation work fine for me."
"Scanning capabilities should be added for the dark web."
"The Kubernetes scanning on the Oracle Cloud needs to be improved. It's on the roadmap. AWS has this capability, but it's unavailable for Oracle Cloud."
"It took us a while to configure the software to work well in this type of environment, as the support documents were not always clear."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in the current active licensing model for PingSafe."
"The integration with Oracle has room for improvement."
"I would like PingSafe to add real-time detection of vulnerabilities and cloud misconfigurations."
"In addition to our telecom and Slack channels, it would be helpful to receive Cloud Native Security security notifications in Microsoft Teams."
"The remediation process could be improved."
"Microsoft sources most of their threat intelligence internally, but I think they should open themselves up to bodies that provide feel intelligence to build a better engine. There may be threats out there that they don't report because their team is not doing anything on that and they don't have arrangements with another party that is involved in that research."
"Microsoft Defender could be more centralized. For example, I still need to go to another console to do policy management."
"The product was a bit complex to set up earlier, however, it is a bit streamlined now."
"They could always work to make the pricing a bit lower."
"We would like to have better transparency as to how the security score is calculated because as it is now, it is difficult to understand."
"The initial setup is not actually so complex but it feels complex because there are many add-ons. There are many options and my team needs to be aware of all of these changes happening on the backend which is a distraction."
"No possibility to write or edit any capability."
"There is a need for the support team to improve their response time since it is one of the areas where the product's technical team has certain shortcomings."
"If Tenable Cloud Security offers a complete Cnapp solution with CWP, CIEM, and Waap security, it will be able to compete with other competitors."
"The product must provide more features."
"I do think there might be room for more integrations. This could allow for further customization and flexibility, essentially offering different functionality options to accommodate various budgets."
"Ermetic needs to improve its security scanning. I would like to see more dynamic graphical forms."
"I didn't find anything that wasn't useful or needed to be added."
