Mondoo vs Tenable
See how Mondoo's AI-native approach compares to Tenable's traditional vulnerability management.
Key Differences
Understanding the fundamental differences between modern and legacy approaches.
AI-Native vs Legacy
Mondoo was built from the ground up with AI at its core. Tenable's AI features are add-ons to a 20+ year old architecture.
Patented AI model for intelligent prioritization and autonomous remediation
Traditional vulnerability scoring with VPR as an overlay
Unified vs Fragmented
One platform vs. multiple products that require separate licenses and integrations.
Single platform covering cloud, on-prem, containers, and endpoints
Nessus, Tenable.io, Tenable.sc, Tenable.cs - separate products
Fix vs Find
Mondoo doesn't just find vulnerabilities—it fixes them automatically.
AI agents generate and apply fixes with one click
Identifies vulnerabilities; remediation is manual
