We performed a comparison between Amazon Inspector and Tenable Vulnerability Management 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 automated vulnerability detection aspect is most valuable."
"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."
"One of the most valuable features of Tenable.io Vulnerability Management is its exportability, which allows us to conduct risk assessments efficiently."
"They are on a good trajectory as a company and investing in R&D in the right ways."
"The solution is quite friendly."
"The solution is very simple to use."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"The best feature of the solution is the amount of visibility it provides of the vulnerabilities."
"There is no burden of updating or upgrading this solution."
"I would rate Tenable's dashboards and reporting capabilities for illustrating security posture a nine out of ten, with ten being the best."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The one drawback that we have found is the reports."
"The only drawback of the solution is that it is expensive."
"It's not a user-friendly tool since it has a complicated interface."
"The interface could be improved; right now it's running on two interfaces simultaneously."
"The shortcoming of the solution that needs improvement is related to its capability to do vulnerability assessments on applications."
"The product could be easier to set up on the cloud."
"The solution must provide penetration testing."
"The stability has room for improvement."
