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 automated vulnerability detection aspect is most valuable."
"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 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."
"Tenable Lumin is very good because it helps organizations look for solutions and profit. It also helps organizations save time because it displays market data well."
"The stability of this solution is appropriate. You can sleep well at night, if you have this solution implemented in your environment."
"Tenable Lumin's dashboard helps me understand my vulnerabilities and which tasks I should prioritize for vulnerability remediation. Tenable creates a risk score that helps me develop a remediation plan, so the infrastructure team can move quickly to address risks. Real-time threat intelligence is also helpful. They get multiple sources of intelligence and correlate the data. Lumin discovers your assets through an agent or a network scan. That's an excellent feature that I'm leveraging now to better understand where all my assets are."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The solution's cloud operation has issues Lumin and Tenable are not one product. The integration needs to be worked out better. There is space for improvement there."
"Tenable Lumin isn't that old and still needs some time to mature."
"The price could be better."
