SUSE NeuVector vs. Tenable Nessus

overall experience so far is good with product and its features.good to have such product in the IT industry to go for it when it come to kubernetes-native container security platform it have the ability to have deep visibility into your network which is the critical part of run-time container security.

Nessus is perfectly suitable for performing comprehensive vulnerability assessment scans being a vulnerability scanner. It is less appropriate for performing penetration testing since it is not a penetration testing tool, it does not have the ability and modules to exploit the vulnerabilities of the system.

• Scans containers software for known vulnerabilities
• Denies command execution in containers
• Prevents unwanted network connections from/to containers

• Shows you how to fix certain vulnerabilities and the commands to run.
• Gives you the CVEs that the vulnerabilities are matched to.
• Easy to understand the vulnerabilities list, giving reasons why the issues need to be patched or fixed.

• I like everything about NeuVector. They are on the right development path.

• Could use an upgrade within reports.
• Scans can take a long time to complete. Have to break them down in small sections.

Nessus is best and easy to use application for Vulnerabilities finding and reporting, it has multiple platforms and wide scope covering almost all devices for security improvement so far, thus we are very likely to continue its services.

Tenable Nessus is a great product and provides a lot of value, but it is difficult to set up and use and the amount of data it generates can be overwhelming. It does help us prioritize based on the severity of the detection, however there are sometimes mitigating factors that we have implemented that Nessus does not account for, which causes lots of noise in the reports.

I haven't needed to contact support yet. But issues are easily solved with a quick internet search which means support and by extension, the larger community are involved and knowledgeable.

SUSE NeuVector is deployed on your Kubernetes, and data does not leave your data center. Sysdig is a cloud platform - you have no full control over what happens with your data. Also, SUSE NeuVector has a capability to prevent specific command execution ir containers, but Sysdig does not have such ability. Sysdig is not an open-source solution, but SUSE NeuVector is.

Ease of deployment and use even for junior analysts, strong plugin support, and up-to-date CVE coverage, cost-effective licensing, especially for mid-size companies, and seamless integration with the SIEM tool. Overall, Nessus hit the right balance between functionality, performance, and total cost of ownership for our needs and usability.

• We went from being blind to what happens in the Kubernetes network to seeing everything and being able to control Kubernetes network communications.
• Now we are able to detect vulnerable containers faster.

• It has helped identify security flaws in our infrastructure that has helped better secure our client's data. It did so quickly and efficiently so I was able to move on to other tasks.
