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 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 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 automated vulnerability detection aspect is most valuable."
"The product is easy to use."
"It's a recommended tool for penetration testers because it's effective for that purpose."
"Tenable.io Vulnerability Management is an easy-to-use product. I"
"The initial setup is mostly straightforward."
"It is quite straightforward to set up."
"One of the most valuable features of Tenable.io Vulnerability Management is its exportability, which allows us to conduct risk assessments efficiently."
"It is pretty stable. I would rate it nine or maybe ten."
"It helps us create remediation projects and assign the console’s responsibility to specific engineers."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"It can have more integration."
"I don't recommend Tenable.io Vulnerability Management for web scanning"
"The one drawback that we have found is the reports."
"Users get confused between VPR and CVSS ratings."
"I would like the solution to cover the whole cycle of mitigation since it's an area where the solution currently lacks."
"The price could be lower."
"The interface could be improved; right now it's running on two interfaces simultaneously."
