We performed a comparison between Orca Security 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."Orca's platform provides an agentless data collection facility that collects information directly from the cloud using APIs, with zero impact on performance."
"The most valuable feature of Orca Security is the automated scanning tool, user-friendliness, and ease of use."
"Orca provides X-ray vision into everything within the cloud properties, whereas normally, this would require multiple tools."
"There are so many valuable features that I could list, but one that I appreciate is the PCI DSS compliance report."
"Orca's SideScanning is the biggest feature. It's the 'wow' factor... With Orca's SideScanning, they just need permissions for your account and that makes it so simple."
"Orca's dashboard is excellent. My team needs to be able to focus on specific areas for improvement in our cloud environment. And most recently, we've started to get good use out of sonar, the search capabilities, and the alert creation."
"The vulnerability management does not require network scanning or agent technology, so I don't need to modify any of my products in order to do vulnerability assessments."
"The reporting and automated remediation capabilities are valuable to me. They're real game-changers."
"The solution can integrate with third parties and meets standard compliance."
"I would rate Tenable's dashboards and reporting capabilities for illustrating security posture a nine out of ten, with ten being the best."
"Tenable.io, in particular, is quite a powerful product. It looks at your traditional environment, which is pretty much anything that is on-premises, and it also goes a step ahead and covers your modern assets, which is anything that is currently sitting in the cloud. You get complete visibility of your entire environment and tech operation. The ability to give you visibility across the entire tech surface is one of the biggest advantages that Tenable.io has."
"It is pretty stable. I would rate it nine or maybe ten."
"The solution creates vulnerability tickets within the VM profile but should also include them under the Remediation tab so the fixes can be viewed in the ticketing queue."
"The best feature of the solution is the amount of visibility it provides of the vulnerabilities."
"The price of Tenable.io Vulnerability Management is reasonable as it is ten times cheaper than other options."
"The initial setup is straightforward so long as your infrastructure, components, and networks are in place."
"As with all software, the user interface can always be made simpler to use. It would be helpful for people with very little knowledge, like somebody sitting behind the SOC, to allow them to be able to drill down into things a little bit easier than it is currently."
"I think Orca could give me more alerts. It could give me a dashboard with all the specific types of alerts I want to see for the day. It should just be one click."
"In the future, I'd like to see Orca work better with third-party vendors. Specifically, being able to provide sanitized results from third parties."
"Another improvement would be that, in addition to focusing on endpoint compliance, they would focus on general compliance."
"The interface can be a bit cranky and sometimes takes a lot of time to load."
"The main drawback in an agentless approach is that if the solution detects a virus or malware in the environment, we need to manually remove it. But from my experience with other production environments, it's not straightforward to install agents in the hope they will automatically remediate viruses, even from production environments... Ultimately, the ability to auto-remediate is something that I would like to see."
"We are PCI DSS compliant, so we need to scan our environment externally with tools vetted by the PCI DSS organization. Orca doesn't scan the environment externally. It only scans what's currently in the cloud."
"I would like to see an option to do security checks on a code level. This is possible because they have access to all of the code running in the cloud provider, and combining their site-scanning solution with that would be a nice add-on."
"They've been able to think about everything in terms of where the world is going and the type of assets that you've got. They've everything sorted out in that aspect, but you have to pay for most of the other components that they've got to give you complete visibility across your tech surface. If it already had those capabilities in-built, without having to add them on to take advantage of them, it would be a very compelling value proposition."
"Tenable could improve visibility into assets, including automated asset tagging. You should be able to automatically tag assets based on location, function, ownership, etc. That would help us because we spend a lot of time identifying and tagging assets by hand."
"The initial setup is complex and has room for improvement."
"I would like the solution to cover the whole cycle of mitigation since it's an area where the solution currently lacks."
"We'd like to see a bit more user-friendliness."
"It can have more integration."
"The shortcoming of the solution that needs improvement is related to its capability to do vulnerability assessments on applications."
"It's not a user-friendly tool since it has a complicated interface."
