Poorna's Nessus Review
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.

Nessus Professional makes my job easier
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.
Great too for vulnerability discovering
What do you like best about the product?
It is a great tool for discovering vulnerabilities and grouping them for IT infrastructure and getting all information about it, remediations and way for explotation.
What do you dislike about the product?
It would be great if we could get all vulnerabilities that have a real impact on all the infrastructure, it would be very helpful to reduce false positive results.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps us to reduce the time we take by working on pen testing and vulnerability assessments. We take great advantage of it because it is work we often do manually
Nessus Vulnerability Scanner Review
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.

Experience with Nessus
What do you like best about the product?
It helps reporting missing critical patches that can cause security flaws. It helps security analyst to find out vulnerabilities and gives solutions, criticality score and where that vulnerabilitiy exist.
What do you dislike about the product?
Scan plugins are not customisable and it is difficult for the teams to write new/adapted plugins to detect or scan for vulnerabilities the product doesn't cover. When we get the report from Nessus most of the vulnerabilities are false positive and we need to re-verify them manually.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Nessus is the finest tool for vulnerabilitiy scans, in fact it provides discoveres and more importantly correct findings, because it is focused on scanning the system's and application and it doesn't perform pentration testing or exploit vulnerabilities with thousands of pulgins updated on a regular basis.
Nessus - Easy to use vulnerability scanner
What do you like best about the product?
I like the ease of use and setup of the application. It has built in updates to track the latest CVV's and is always up to date.
What do you dislike about the product?
Would be helpful to disable / ignore certain things that are found.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is solving internal vulnerability scanning. We can self identify exploits that need to be remediated. The scan findings are easy enough to know what needs to be done to fix the vulnerability. We are able to do that inhouse and not have a 3rd party company access to our internal network.
