  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I enjoy the thoroughness of Nessus and the ability to customize scanned plugin definitions.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's not always the easiest to find particular settings within Nessus. Not impossible, but you have to dig a little.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Nessus has assisted us with remaining PCI compliant for 9 years straight, and helps us catch vulnerabilities that we would otherwise never have seen.

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.

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.

What do you like best about the product?
I liked the Nessus because of its excellent coverage; its final results provides almost every details like vulnerability brief, its exploits, references and such other important matters to be dealt with the vulnerability fix.
What do you dislike about the product?
The customer support of Nessus is limited as compared to its wide customer base all over the world. So customer support of Nessus needs to be improved from the view point of its availability.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
An experience with Nessus started with questions like whether this tool will be helpful, will it give expected results, whether........ and yes, this tool has given satisfied results to put a forward step for secured information system environment. For detailed results provided by Nessus I would say in brief that "It just worked flawlessly to deal with the vulnerabilities".

What do you like best about the product?
I like most that the recommendation/Solution present in the Nessus scan report. if it is not present, we need to troubleshoot things very deeply that can delay in Timelines.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes I feel when the disk Space got full where we installed Nessus, We must get any message/notification. It happens once with me and not able to figure out what actually happens why reports are generated blank, but later we figured out this and deleted old reports.
