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."The initial setup is very easy."
"With its Cloud Security Posture Management capability, we have the ability to read across all of our cloud-based environments, which includes AWS and Azure. We have visibility into those environments. Seeing all vulnerabilities and configurations is really powerful for us, but ultimately, the ability to use the API to query across the fleet to understand what is the current state, what is the patch level, which ones are potentially exposed for a new CVE that just came out is even more valuable. It allows us to gather really specific intelligence through simple queries."
"Orca provides X-ray vision into everything within the cloud properties, whereas normally, this would require multiple tools."
"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 visibility Orca provides into my environment is at the highest level... When I dropped them into the environment, from the very get-go I had more insight into the risks in my environment than I had had during the entire two and a half years I had been here."
"The most valuable feature of Orca Security is the automated scanning tool, user-friendliness, and ease of use."
"There are so many valuable features that I could list, but one that I appreciate is the PCI DSS compliance report."
"The reporting and automated remediation capabilities are valuable to me. They're real game-changers."
"It is a very, very user-friendly tool...The setup is easy"
"The solution is quite friendly."
"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 helps us create remediation projects and assign the console’s responsibility to specific engineers."
"It's a recommended tool for penetration testers because it's effective for that purpose."
"The most valuable feature for me is container scanning because I am interested in CICD security."
"The best feature of the solution is the amount of visibility it provides of the vulnerabilities."
"Technical support has been good. They respond quite quickly."
"Another improvement would be that, in addition to focusing on endpoint compliance, they would focus on general compliance."
"I would be happy if they offered more automatic remediation options. They're working on that, but the more the better. For example, if they want you to harden a server, they would offer a hardening script that would be more aware of what's going on."
"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."
"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."
"There were a couple of times when Orca was down when I was trying to access it. I work strange hours because all of my team is in the UK right now. It was 2 a.m. on a Saturday and I was trying to log in but it wasn't working. But relative to my other security tools, Orca is definitely the most stable that I've seen."
"The solution could improve by making the dashboards more elaborative and more descriptive."
"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."
"It's not all clouds that they are currently onboarded with. For instance, they are not yet with public cloud and many other private clouds."
"They should include better customization of the dashboard, and integration tools."
"I would like the solution to cover the whole cycle of mitigation since it's an area where the solution currently lacks."
"There needs to be better dashboard navigation."
"The solution is a bit slow."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"The interface could be improved; right now it's running on two interfaces simultaneously."
"They need to have more dependable and faster support."
"I'm not satisfied with the reporting structure."
