Runecast vs Tenable Nessus

Adopt an integrated security approach to optimize your Cloud and Kubernetes Security Posture Management

Generate historical comparisons to overview new, resolved and unchanged issues

Generate historical comparisons to overview new, resolved and unchanged issues

Tenable Nessus provides a historical comparison, but it is not a true differential of the two results. It only shows new issues since the previous scan.

Runecast provides in depth, historical insights for all issues. Elaborate filtering and customizations allow for unmatched insights on the health and configuration drift of the analyzed environment.

Leverage insights into the latest DISA STIG requirements

Tenable Nessus provides coverage for DISA STIG up to vSphere 6.7, creating manual work for administrators of vSphere 7 and 8 environments.

Runecast provides full coverage for all 12 areas of DISA STIG for VMware vSphere 7.0 and encorporates the vSphere 8.0 (Readiness Guide) guaranteeing complete compliance and detailed reporting for environments.

Manage your configurations and drift over time to maintain consistent environments

Manage your configurations and drift over time to maintain consistent environments

Tenable Nessus does not provide configuration drift management for physical hosts, cloud or Kubernetes environments.

Runecast provides a history of all of your configurations and allows you to manage configuration drift, maintain your preferred configuration state, ensure consistent setups across your infrastructure, and alerting you to any drift and inconsistencies.

Get rid of endless reports and secure your infrastructure with one-click remediation actions

Tenable Nessus users must install and set up an agent to get a list of vulnerabilities found. Reports are unwieldy and multiple clicks are required to drill down to the required information.

Runecast automatically scans your environment for vulnerabilities. With one click, customers get instant insights into issues with custom-tailored scripts to fix the detected vulnerabilities quickly.

“The best in its league”

Run it... you will be amazed by the findings. We always think that a lot of applications are secure by nature and by how they’ve been designed, but after deploying Runecast you really understand the gaps that you might have in your environment and it’s definitely an eye-opener.
