Nessus - The VA Scanner

  • August 14, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Nessus is a very user-friendly application, and it even has pre-defined templates to select which profile to be used for vulnerability scanning.
What do you dislike about the product?
When it scans very large data sets and applications, it takes a considerable time and becomes a bit laggy.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
A very common burden that System Admins have is patch management. Nessus helps to address this issue very smoothly with automated scans and reports
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are trying to keep your organization consistently compliant, this is a must-have tool.

Nessus Professional - Good Value & Great Product

  • April 26, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Unlimited scans of IP addresses, easy customization of scans, detailed descriptions, and references of findings. Multiple pre-built templates. Scans just about anything to identify a security weakness.
What do you dislike about the product?
Authenticated scans aren't the easiest to execute. Configuration review feature provides numerous false positives. Unable to perform business logic tests. Unable to open IP address of host directly from Nessus. Web App scans are not the most robust, a dedicated DAST tool is more value.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Security Advisory services for my clients and internally. Nessus provides insight into weaknesses within the IT environment.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is a leader in its field compared to other vulnerability scanners, it is also easy to use and setup.

A total game changer-Nessus

  • April 22, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Multi-tasking: Nessus employs efficient memory usage to implement multitasking.
Credentialed Scanning: Executing a credentialed Nessus Scan allows you to get a deeper depth of information about your target. Constantly being updated. One of the few Vulnerability scanners with more than expected features and support for the community version.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nessus Pro restricted to just a single client makes it scarcely moderate for medium scale organizations. The characterization (high, medium, low, and so forth) are based on the finding and not your current circumstance. A high might be low for your situation and the other way around. Like many tools, even Nessus does have its own limitations and is not necessary that it may find all the vulnerabilities associated with the target provided. Ordinarily, the enhancements are not refreshed in an opportune way and this damages much more with the bogus positives produced
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Booking Report Quality Speed Ease of establishment. Automated tasks help to complete a VAPT and a pentesting project much faster.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Nessus is a great vulnerability scanner tool, but if you are looking for something in specific to scan, such as a webapp, you should rather go for a web-app scanner.
