Poorna's Nessus Review

  • March 30, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Nessus is one of the best tools in vulnerability assessment technology. It is effortless and very effective in identifying any CVEs present in the servers. Practically effective in identifying the lack of security patches.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are some issues with Nessus in the report-making process, and mostly FP cases pop up, which must be lowered.
Sometimes asset grouping is formidable. And the pricing may not suit everyone.

Apart from these, it has no significant flaws.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Nessus is helping us with the Security posture Analysis and Vulnerability assessment.
The Vulnerability life cycle is very much productive, and we have been in an updated environment.

Nessus Professional makes my job easier

  • November 09, 2022
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Nessus takes the guesswork out of finding out what needs to be addressed and helps you determine what's most critical in your environment. The process of finding vulnerabilities is simple and intuitive and it constantly keeps up with newly discovered vulnerabilities that arise and helps you detect them in your environment.
What do you dislike about the product?
There isn't anything about Nessus Professional that I don't like. In three years of using Nessus Professional, we've not had any issues with the scan results in our environment.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Before we used Nessus Professional, we used several tools to determine potential vulnerabilities in our environment. However, they had inconsistent reporting and didn't keep up with newly released vulnerabilities. Now we have one tool that can scan for vulnerabilities and even check that we're compliant with best practices.

Nessus Vulnerability Scanner Review

  • October 20, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The scanners are very easy to manage. The tool is very user friendly. The vulnerability detection prefers false positives other than false negatives which helps us with the better security posture.
What do you dislike about the product?
The asset group information is hard to manage and download. This makes it harder to manage the zones or tags of assets.

The analysis feature will only provide us with one scan information after the scan is selected. Cannot go back to the cumulative update.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Nessus Vulnerability scans are helping the organisation to scan the network for vulnerabilities which can be exploited. How to mitigate the vulnerabilities are also provided by nessus.
