Excellent Network Scanning tool
What do you like best about the product?
Policy Management and Reporting Style of the application. Nessus and its GUI is really well designed, It is mostly minimal and good looking, very clean, it is worth noting that in every update they improve it and include some types of scans that can bring you more complete and better results when you carry out an scan. Also its worth mentioning that the plugins in Nessys database are well updated and that your community team generates an well response on time. Pricing is cheaper and is worth the money that thet provide. It has PCI scanning which is one added feature.
What do you dislike about the product?
Reports more false positives sometimes in the scan. Sometime it is diffucult during initial setup in our environment, there were several complications when attempting to connect machines in our internal network which is really tiring when we are out of support.It lacks interaction with some other tools like Metasploit which is the swiss army knife of network testing. While it is easy to use, it also requires a certain level of knowledge from the user, if it could explain things a little better as the user moved through the program
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The scan might take a longer time for small assets.
