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 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."
"The automated vulnerability detection aspect is most valuable."
"The ease of use in terms of scanning assets is valuable."
"The initial setup is straightforward so long as your infrastructure, components, and networks are in place."
"Technical support has been good. They respond quite quickly."
"It is a very, very user-friendly tool...The setup is easy"
"The tool has an easy-to-use interface."
"It's a recommended tool for penetration testers because it's effective for that purpose."
"It is quite straightforward to set up."
"The solution is easy to use and configuration is smooth with no complexities."
"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."
"There needs to be better dashboard navigation."
"I'd like to see them improve their support."
"Tenable.io Vulnerability Management could be improved with an increased number of dashboards and MSSP integration."
"We'd like to see a bit more user-friendliness."
"More flexibility is required compared to other solutions."
"I would like the solution to cover the whole cycle of mitigation since it's an area where the solution currently lacks."
"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."
"They should include better customization of the dashboard, and integration tools."
