Nessus Enterprise for AWS (Scanner)

Worked well for me
I was very pleased with this product. The only things I would clarify are that you first run the "Manager" then download the "Scanner" when prompted (you must run both). Also it takes about 5 minutes for the services to start up so don't be impatient. Otherwise it worked great and I was done with what I needed to do in a few hours. Will definitely continue to use as necessary.

Can't scan outside of AWS cloud
I was at first very excited about the product, but on closer inspection realised that the scanner has two severe limitations. To be fair these limitations are clearly stated in the product description.
1. I would have liked to be able to scan IP addresses outside the AWS cloud at a rate of $8/hour using a single "scanner" instance, i.e., without a "manager" instance. The product requires at least one manager instance and one or more scanner instances.
2. The product can only scan AWS machines inside the AWS cloud.
Pity.
