Nessus Professional review
What do you like best about the product?
Is easy to understand the learning curve is it not difficult. The interface is easy to use. It helps with the efficiency and vulnerability management.
What do you dislike about the product?
The plugins and they are removing the API support for Nessus Pro 7 so we wont be able to integrate some processes into vulnerability scanning
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
vulnerability management
Industry standard for a reason
What do you like best about the product?
Nessus is the standard for a reason - it's flexible, extensible, and well supported. The plugin update system works silently and flawlessly, and helps us not have to write our own scripts constantly.
What do you dislike about the product?
The recent changes to move on-prem scanners to a single user and remove API functionality has been super challenging.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are solving for risk analysis and patch compliance with Nessus. Automating the scans and having the ability to write our own compliance module has made it super easy to spot trends and get accurate remediation plans drawn up.
Nessus is a great tool for vulnerability scanning
What do you like best about the product?
Nessus is a pretty good and easy tool to use. It offers a variety of ways to scan for the latest vulnerabilities and also lots of reports for all of your needs. Also another important asset of Nessus is that if the program crashes for any reason, there is a knowledge base with the answers.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't really have much I dislike. Only thing is possibly add more reporting features and ways to fix the problem.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am trying to use Nessus to satisfy PCI requirements on a quarterly basis. It also assist us in finding out internal vulnerabilities.
Product scan
What do you like best about the product?
auto update of plugins and the representation
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing as of now but in case if i see anything in future i'll update Nessus team
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
identifies all the vulnerabilities present in our product due to 3rd party software
Great scanning application. Exactly what I need for PCI
What do you like best about the product?
Scheduled scanning, reports are detailed with all the information for issues as well as a "how-to" on resolving.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing really. Nessus meets my company's needs in a user friendly format. Couldn't be happier.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're meeting our PCI requirements with Nessus. It allows me to see what security gaps and updates are necessary to maintain compliance.
Good Product has a couple of shortcomings.
What do you like best about the product?
Cheap, effective, quick to set up and easy to use
What do you dislike about the product?
The policy section defining custom policies can be cumbersome and not as intuitive as it should be. Would like to be able to search for plugins in the policies section, and not to have to scroll through thousands of plugins to find the correct one. Troubleshooting is problematic, and support tends to be slow because of the online chat feature.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vulnerability scans for reporting to federal government
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would definitely recommend it for quick set up and ease of use. Free version is a good way to go to evaluate the product.
Nessus is the gold standard for vulnerability scanning.
What do you like best about the product?
Nessus offers great support for the platform and the documentation is thorough for an easy implementation and configuration.
What do you dislike about the product?
The pricing model has changed and some features now require a larger financial commitment or maintaining older versions, which is obviously not desirable for a security and compliance tool.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Nessus allows us to set and forget the majority of our vulnerability scans and provides all the details we need to ensure our environments are not opening drastic new security holes. This allows us to focus on more critical security issues, while also maintaining our compliance information without user interaction.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Definitely read the documentation before you get started, it will save a lot of time and make sure everything is configured correctly.
This is a great product

I like the ability to show to my clients and prospective clients their vulnerabilities that they think dont exist.

I would like it to be web based instead of application based
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Client security holes that will allow them to sleep at night!
Enterprise User
