Nessus Pro Review

  • November 21, 2019
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Nessus really makes it easy to see problem areas in your environment. You can quickly allocate resources to mitigate those areas where critical vulnerabilities exist. Being able to schedule scans and having the reports emailed to you creates an automated workflow without ever logging in.
What do you dislike about the product?
Functionality is awesome. I would like to be able to change my theme. I really like the darker themes because it's easier on the eyes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We now have visibility of vulnerabilities across our environment. We're able to measure the effectiveness of our patch deployments. Another benefit is that we can detect new vulnerabilities when Nessus updates the plugins.

Tenable - Still a Leader

  • November 20, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The forward thinking vision and ease of use and customization
What do you dislike about the product?
Lack of migration plan for SC > IO for customers requiring an on-premise solution. IO is a vast improvement, but on-prem deployment limits options.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
vulnerability scanning and configuration drift. By ingesting Tenable data into the Fortress VRM workflow and analytics platform along with other data sources, we are able to achieve excellent visibility and prioritization to actually reduce risk for our customers.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
No need to look further, for vuln scanning and configuration compliance monitoring,Tenable has you covered. For remediation workflow, ingestion of other non-tenable data sources and advanced analytics we recommend looking at products like Fortress VRM

Great vulnerability scanner...easy to use!

  • November 20, 2019
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The software is easy to use and setup. It has a large database of vulnerabilities and will alert you to issues including malware, missing patches, mis-configurations, default passwords, etc. Lots of options for exporting the data: CSV, PDF, HTML, etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not many dislikes. Again, very user friendly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Trying to ensure that our network is free from vulnerabilities gives us the assurance that our data is protected.

Nessus helps keep us secure!

  • November 20, 2019
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Nessus just works! I am able to create scheduled credentialed jobs and add my hosts. I know the job will always run and always produce the needed results. This helps me stay on top of our organizational risks.
What do you dislike about the product?
We tend to lean towards open source software whenever possible. I still wish Nessus was open source, but the current pricing model isn't too bad.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our risk profile is much lower than when we didn't have Nessus. We are able to identify vulnerabilities and correct them very easily.

Secure the network from vulnerability, threats and malware.

  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
One of the most commonly used vulnerability analysis methods. It is very efficient to scan application servers, DB servers, network devices like switches, routers, firewalls and proxy servers, which allows every system to operate one only to scan vulnerabilities and incomplete patch reports.
What do you dislike about the product?
The method is quite intense but, in the process, we want to use Nessus and the setup of a scan is appropriate, but requires the expertise to get all the desired results.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With so many features for security scans in web applications Nexus is among the industry's top vulnerability scanners. For Windows operating systems Nessus can run through the web browser.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Excellent software It is very easy to implement in my opinion it is one of the best products on the market.
