Nessus is the ultimate time saver for vulnerability scanning
What do you like best about the product?
As a penetration tester there were times that I had to perform operating system compliance reviews manually. To do that you have to go through all the documented details in benchmarks to get a crystal clear idea before even executing the given command. Reading issue details on over 500+ pages (most of the time) repetitively is a waste of time . Because of the tool 'Nessus' we can just pass the parameters and actually can let our focus on other operations. Nessus will do the job without any trouble. Incontrovertibly, nessus is the number one performer in discovering assets,sensitive data /malware detection,OS/database/mobile apps/web apps/network devices/tablets/hypervisors vulnerability scanning.It's worth to mention the amazing report creation feature of nessus which helped me to identify the critical levels of the vulnerabilities easily.
What do you dislike about the product?
Price of nessus is too much considering the tools in the same domain. Nessus is susceptible to produce false positives and because of that the testers need to put more effort and time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Nessus training and certification is a useful way to get familiar with nessus interface and functionalities for a beginner.
Nessus keeps us safer!

We are doing threat assessments in real time. Having this ability helps us recognized issues and make sure they're solved.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Having it hosted internally seems to give us greater flexibility.
One of the best vulnerability scanner I've ever used
What do you like best about the product?
What I most like about nessus is customization when using scans. We can add credentials, set IP ranges and ports and etc. We can use different scan methods for different purposes. Also it gives best scanning results and those scanning results can be exported as HTML, PDF or CSV reports. Also the report can be customize when exporting. When nessus gives me a report it also providing the introduction of vulnerabilites, impact of the vulnerability to the host and mitigation methods and reference to find more about the vulnerabilites.
What do you dislike about the product?
What I dont like this Nessus proffesional version is some time it gives false positives. As an example when nessus gives me a scan results of an web application vulnerability scan usually I seach for those vulnearabilities for testing purposes. That required time. If those results are false possitive, all the search time and testing times are wasted.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
When I pentesting first tool I use is Nessus. I use different scanning methods for different purposes. As an example I mostly use network scans, web application scans, policy compliance audting scans, and advanced dynamic scans. Nessus also can be used as malware scan Nessus helped me to find lot of vulnerabilities using different scans.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are in Cyber security side. This is a best vulnerabilty scanner that worth your every penny. I've used it. It gives the best scanning resutls so we can follow those results to test vulnerabilities.

Nessus Compliance Scanning
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of use for compliance reporting
What do you dislike about the product?
Drill down on errors should be a little more cleaner.

Nessus is a great tool for our security department
What do you like best about the product?
Nessus has really helped our newly formed security department hit the ground running by identifying and pinpointing specific vulnerabilities on our network for remediation.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are a lot of false positives, including untrusted CAs. The remediations/solutions provided for each vulnerability could also be more specific.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have been able to upgrade outdated OSs, identify and install missing server patches, and show progress on vulnerability management from week to week.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Be sure to not only scan on a regular basis, but also check the scans thoroughly and learn each vulnerability in order to get a better idea how to remediate the risk, accept it, or determine if it is a false positive.
Really like the technology and capability, but disappointed by feature limitations
What do you like best about the product?
Nessus has always been the most well-rounded vulnerability scanning solution. It does a better job across various OS, application, etc. platforms where other scanners often fall short.
What do you dislike about the product?
Tenable has crippled Nessus Professional by disallowing scans to be configured/managed via API, and restricting the ability to create multiple users. As a professional services firm, these capabilities have made the use of Nessus Pro more challenging.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Identifying vulnerabilities.
