Backbone tool for vulnerability assessment and Penetration testing.
What do you like best about the product?
When it comes to performing vulnerability assessment of the systems, Nessus is the widely used tool because of this tools ability to scan and provide comprehensive results of the scan. Nessus has large number of features for performing vulnerability assessment which very few scanner has. To start with, Nessus has ability to schedule the scan any given time. The main feature of this scanner is that it has set of policy templates to perform different types of scans. It has predefined policies to perform the scans like host discovery scan, malware scan, web application test, mobile devices scan to mention a few but I think the standout policy should be the internal PCI network scan which allows to perform the scan and report the vulnerabilities in accordance with PCI DSS compliance standard. Nessus allows to perform credential based scans which is a big plus.
What do you dislike about the product?
The thing I dislike is that Nessus only allows to export the scan results into readable HTML, CSV and Nessus file format which I think could be improved by adding ability to support file formats like PDF.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Nessus has helped me greatly to effectively perform vulnerability assessment. Also, I have found the scan results, vulnerability information of Nessus scans very helpful while performing penetrating testing of different systems.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would really recommend this application to anyone who wants to perform vulnerability assessment because if this applications abilities to perform scans and effectiveness of the scan results.

The ideal solution to detect and remedy vulnerabilities in your infrastructure
What do you like best about the product?
What I like most about Nessus is that it allows us to make discoveries about the equipment that is coexisting in our network, this is very beneficial because it allows us to reinforce security within it and it is often seen that computers appear in the network of which we had no idea and we do not know what activity they are having, could be an attacker, then with nessus we can detect to identify these equipment to later exclude them and keep our network safe at all times
What do you dislike about the product?
What I do not like about Nessus is mainly its interface, which is a bit old-fashioned yet, it can not be denied that they have made some improvements, however they are still far behind in terms of interface if we compare it with other detection tools. vulnerabilities such as AlienVault or Qualys, also another thing that I hate is having to update the plugins of the tool manually every time I'm going to launch scans, I believe that these should be updated automatically for greater convenience of users
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Cyber security is a fundamental factor in the present and that is why tools such as nessus are escensial within companies since it is with these tools or applications that you can perform deep analyzes of your networks, in order to detect which are the vulnerabilities that they are affecting them and in this way to be able to structure a work plan to remedy them, besides that Nessus tells you step by step how to remedy each one of the vulnerabilities that it detects
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The recommendation is that if you want to stay protected at the network level and avoid security breaches, analyze your network with nessus
Vulnerability assessment is really easy with Nessus
What do you like best about the product?
Great tool with an easy User interface. There are plenty of training materials for this tool. Tester can do discovery of networks along with port scans. At the end of the test can export detailed reports along with remediation steps.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nessus credentialed scans take lot of time to setup & the process is hectic.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
New & existing vulnerabilities can be found easily using this tool. We get help from the detailed report which is provided by this tool to address those vulnerabilities. This makes our organizations risk factor to low. Which means it lowers the chance of getting hacked in the wild. This ensure our company is not an easy target for hackers and malicious vectors.
Recommendations to others considering the product:

The best tool for vulnerability analysis; Nessus
What do you like best about the product?
There are many tools currently to analyze network vulnerabilities, stations, servers and network devices, but few are as efficient and accurate as it is Nessus, what I like most about this powerful application in the first place is that its vulnerability database is constantly updated, in Nessus known as Pugins, not only allows you to detect vulnerabilities that affect your equipment, but also allows you to make a discovery of your network, through which you can validate if there are unauthorized devices found connected to it, it is a simply excellent tool
What do you dislike about the product?
What I do not like about Nessus is how basic the reports generated by the tool can be, since there are other tools of this type that although they are not more powerful than Nessus, when it comes to delivering results of what is has detected offer extensive and fully detailed reports, with Nessus you can have fully detailed information, but in my case to reach it, what I do is export the reports to excel, build a matrix and through dynamic tables I generate the information that I was asked, but if they improved the reporter of the tool would be excellent
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
At the corporate level there are many solutions and advantages offered by Nessus, starting with the fact that it allows you to see what are the security breaches that your equipment and your network suffer for its remediation, in fact it tells you step by step how to take out these remediations, in my case I use it to perform scans and remediation in the company network in this way, we can be sure that we are fully protected and can not be attacked by any intruder
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Request the trial version, analyze and discover how unprotected they are, and see how Nessus helps them remedy and close all their security breaches
IT Professional using Nessus
What do you like best about the product?
Nessus is an easy to use tool that doesnt require years of expertise to be able to run and understand how to conduct vulnerability scans. It is a tool that does great with customization and I love that it can operate on multiple platforms, which is very help in a large enterprise. I like that Nessus comes with Security Center, which handles network monitoring and vulnerability management in a dashboard manner and SCCV, which detects vulnerabilities in real time
What do you dislike about the product?
Nessus could provide more in their reports after a vulnerability scan is complete. Other scanning tools provide more insightful reports on what was identified during the scan. It would be nice if Nessus was an IPS instead of an IDS.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vulnerability scanning, vulnerability detection, insider threat, network monitoring, and vulnerability and network management
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Easy to use tool for vulnerability scanning and network monitoring. Pricing is great compared to similar products on the market
Easy to use, reliable, and up to date.
What do you like best about the product?
It works, and it works well. I like that it's updated daily with new signature and vulnerabilities. It's incredibly easy to get a pre-configured scan started, and just as easy to automate it. I like the granularity that you can configure scans with. The reporting features are great, but we export the reports to a vuln manager.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be kind of confusing unless you can figure out their menus and terminology. It is also sometimes quite slow without easily being able to access a verbose log of what's going on. There are also some features that are shown but not included on the current platform, only if you migrate to Tenable.io.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Nessus for server security auditing and assessing. We have scheduled scans to alert us of any new vulnerabilities in our systems, as well as for patch auditing.
