Find out in this report how the two IT Vendor Risk Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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 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."
"One of its most effective features for risk identification is its enterprise-ready automation for third-party risk measurements."
"The solution helps identify our environment's vulnerabilities."
"With its automated approach, nothing is missed on the IPs your organization is related to."
"I rate the product's initial setup phase a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is a difficult setup phase, and ten is an easy setup process."
"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 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."
"There is room for improvement in the scanning capabilities. I'd like to see broader coverage in terms of the vulnerabilities detected."
"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."
"They could improve the process with a questionnaire module for the product."
"There could be more information in regards to solving problems like hints on what specifically to look for."
"SecurityScorecard's technical team's response time is an area that my company expects to be made faster."
"The tool needs to have the ability to mitigate vulnerabilities with alternative solutions."
