Nessus - Protection against all types of vulnerabilities.
What do you like best about the product?
Strong and deep scanning, against all types of threats that may affect the vulnerability of any of the services we are running, this security system, has an advanced detection of hacker attacks of all kinds, the updates are constant and automatic, plus if you wish it can be updated manually, in case of finding any vulnerability that the tool has not detected due to any lack of update, it is an exception, but the possibility of doing so exists, something I like very much are the notifications, that really they have importance, since they warn of some type of vulnerability that may exist in the network, and this system warns you before it can touch you, to update the databases, and have a protection against these attacks, which are just emerging.
What do you dislike about the product?
The creation of reports from the analysis performed, lacks necessary data, to perform a deeper analysis of how to detect and prevent some incidents of this type, would like to obtain much more detailed reports, where each vulnerability is detailed, with statistical data, possible origin of the vulnerability, and recommendations, of blockages for this type of vulnerability.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Thanks to this tool we can execute a complete analysis of our teams, and detect vulnerabilities that day by day come to light, hackers are always developing new ways to attack all types of companies, and try to access their information, to perform all kinds of damages, Nessus is that counterpart, which is always being updated constantly, to go one step ahead of these scammers.

Vulnerability and remediation management
What do you like best about the product?
Nessus offers enormous flexibility in how it tracks vulnerabilities across the network. The scan is multiplatform, it can be executed in local, network objectives or as an agent. You can launch the scan from outside the firewall, which offers the real visibility of the company. The implementation and configuration of Nessus is very simple, we like to use the agents to create groups of scans and in this way automate the process. Everything works very well and the creation of reports is perfect to keep track of remediations. I like that we can do the compliance analyzes.
What do you dislike about the product?
We had a problem with a client where the requirements to deploy Nessus could not be applied, the Tenable team has not yet been able to give us a strong response to resolve the situation. The information provided to perform the remediation is not the best possible, I would like to improve on new updates a better tool for this. The automatic updates of the supplements should be more consecutive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With Nessus we carry out the vulnerability and compliance scan, to then carry out the remediation cycles in our clients' networks. With Tenable's enormous base of knowledge and threats, we make sure to attend to every detail that could be a cause of attack on the network. Thanks to the agents we can also evaluate the host in particular to have a more granular scheme..
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend Nessus and Tenable because with them we have been able to establish an important service within our company. It is an excellent tool to scan objectives and present reports.
Nessus scanning
What do you like best about the product?
Nessus scanning in and of itself is rather simple. It is nice that debugging is built in to the gui and logs can be easily retrieved. Nessus is definitely best when deployed with Security Center.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the logic built in to the Cisco handler didnt make sense. When the logic was presented with a #, it wouldn't issue the enable password required for escalation. Getting the logic fixed for this issue took over 9 months to resolve.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This tool replaced McAfee vulnerability management and was a much more solid tool comparatively speaking.
AWS needs to update this AMI
Works great but AWS needs to update this AMI so that the version of Nessus is at least 7.1.3 and above. I was unable to update Nessus. Per Tenable, it's not possible to update Nessus if launched from this AMI.

Excellent Scanning Engine
What do you like best about the product?
The interface is intuitive and easy to navigate.
What do you dislike about the product?
The price tag is not unreasonable, but does still present a hurdle for small companies with limited budget for security software.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The ease of use and simplicity of setup has provided an opportunity to quickly get our internal vulnerability management program up and running with exceptional results.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
In my opinion, Nessus is about as close to industry standard as possible. They really set the bar for others to follow in usability, clean interface, and acceptance by the industry as a whole.
Nessus Review
What do you like best about the product?
Vulnerability scanning is great. Reporting is good.
What do you dislike about the product?
Compliance scans, to many false positives.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vulnerability and Compliance scanning to meet compliance regulations.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Get the compliance to elevate so many false positives.
Powerful Vulnerability assessmnent tool at a more than reasonable cost
What do you like best about the product?
Speed! I can get accurate results from a Nessus scan much faster than I get from other products costing 1000% more. The interface is extremely intuitive and I can configure a scan quickly compared to my other tools. It is my 'Go To' system when a client requests a scan to validate patches of config changes.
What do you dislike about the product?
What I dislike has nothing to do with the tool itself. I dislike that my manager feels the cost of the tool is indicative of its overall worth and reputation.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Nessus Pro to complement our vulnerability assessment program and to validate detections in order to determine false positives. I consider this tool as an invaluable asset in hardening our PCI and DMZ environments.
Nessus Vulnerability scanner
What do you like best about the product?
Nessus allows scan for different kinds of vulnerabilities as denials of service, default passwords, misconfigurations. It is supported on a lot of operating systems and platforms.It also has an evaluation trial that helps you to decide if it is good for you or not. I think is great for big companies.
What do you dislike about the product?
It cant manage all scans from one location. So doesn't have centralized management. It doesn't provide roles based access. It doesn’t seem to offer long term solutions and the support it is no so fats.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vulnerabilities scanner. Protection. Security
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Compare with others products and check the requirements you need so you are sure Nessus apply to your environment
Excellent software
What do you like best about the product?
provides insight on your environment. Easy to install and to operate. Reporting add a lot of value for upper management.
What do you dislike about the product?
Once the vulnerabilities are identified, we must fix and re-scan to validate they disappeared. Sometimes Nessus is still showing the vulnerability even if the fix is applied
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Security and Compliance
Recommendations to others considering the product:
great product.
Nessus is a top tier scanner that is easy to use and effective at finding vulnerabilities.
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use. The application is easy to setup and use with canned templates that get you scanning for what you need to find. The scan results are among the most accurate I have seen which is welcome in this day and age.
What do you dislike about the product?
The scan results could be easier to read. Sometimes I find the scan results to be a bit difficult to read with the current setup. However after you play around with the settings a little and get used to the format it is not an issue.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
For me vulnerability threat management and tracking installed patches is the primary use of Nessus. The benefits of using Nessus is getting a well priced top tier application for a fair price.
