Ermetic is an awesome tool that helps a lot in making the cloud environments secure.

The interface is very intuitive and provides us vairous ways to identify risks based in standards and regulations like PCI, HIPAA, NIST and others. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Tenable Cloud Security?

Excellent CSPM tool for our AWS use case. Saves us a ton of time drilling done configuration security.

The "if you only have 5 minutes" feature is a great way to ensure you don't get overwhelmed with the amount of tasks to complete. Helps guide you on a clear, daily progression to cloud security Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Tenable Cloud Security?

The kubernetes aspect is still developing. I know for a fact Ermetic has on the road map to release an agented Kubernetes monitoring solution, but until then you'll just have to wait. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Tenable Cloud Security solving and how is that benefiting you?

Ermetic helps us fix over provisioned privledges in AWS, it's replaced our cloud trail log search, and we also utilize it's automated slack alerting for unusual cloud activity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Tenable Cloud Security?

Fantastic CSPM tool for multi-cloud environments. It lets you quickly get the "lay of the land" in your environment, seeing what services and resources are in place.

The IAM permission breakdown is second to none in my experience. Lets you really drill down to see what resources are affected by what policies and is extrememly useful in cracking down on overpriviliged IAM resources.

Add in findings, toxic combos, and the "if you only have 5 minutes" and you can quickly see what you need to pay attention to right away to better secure your environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Tenable Cloud Security?

Theres is still some work to be done with WAFs in place of load balancer when looking at network resource views. However I am confident that they will get to this sooner or later as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Tenable Cloud Security solving and how is that benefiting you?

Helps us to quickly see the resources we have in our environment, any security concerns with those resources, and how we can remediate quickly. Gives us truly fantastic IAM breakdowns as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
