Powerful Vulnerability assessmnent tool at a more than reasonable cost
What do you like best about the product?
Speed! I can get accurate results from a Nessus scan much faster than I get from other products costing 1000% more. The interface is extremely intuitive and I can configure a scan quickly compared to my other tools. It is my 'Go To' system when a client requests a scan to validate patches of config changes.
What do you dislike about the product?
What I dislike has nothing to do with the tool itself. I dislike that my manager feels the cost of the tool is indicative of its overall worth and reputation.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Nessus Pro to complement our vulnerability assessment program and to validate detections in order to determine false positives. I consider this tool as an invaluable asset in hardening our PCI and DMZ environments.

Great tool...simple, intuitive, and complete
What do you like best about the product?
Nessus is my go-to scanner. It's simple to use...has a well laid out user interface...and results are easy to digest. The references withing the vulnerability findings are immensely helpful to support staff in helping them to understand the findings and their path to remediation.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not really much to dislike here. Price is right. Ease of use is great. Only thing I'd recommend is for Tenable to step up their game with Support. Their support process is one of the least engage-able of all the tools I use. Much more feels like consumer level support rather than enterprise.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Verifying patch management process is the primary solution we are solving. Is also great at asset discovery. We also find the scanner very useful when a new high priority vulnerability comes out that the business wants us to quickly verify our exposure to.
