Great tool...simple, intuitive, and complete
What do you like best about the product?
Nessus is my go-to scanner. It's simple to use...has a well laid out user interface...and results are easy to digest. The references withing the vulnerability findings are immensely helpful to support staff in helping them to understand the findings and their path to remediation.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not really much to dislike here. Price is right. Ease of use is great. Only thing I'd recommend is for Tenable to step up their game with Support. Their support process is one of the least engage-able of all the tools I use. Much more feels like consumer level support rather than enterprise.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Verifying patch management process is the primary solution we are solving. Is also great at asset discovery. We also find the scanner very useful when a new high priority vulnerability comes out that the business wants us to quickly verify our exposure to.
Recommendations to others considering the product:

The removal of the API from non .io and SecurityCenter versions. While pulling reports is still available, not being able to automate things is a pain.

Vulnerability scanning of assets prior to placing on the network and monthly policy directed scans for compliance

nessus - vulnerability scanning tool
What do you like best about the product?
Its one of the best tool that I have used. The tool helps to find the vulnerability in windows system and helps you find all the loopholes which makes your system weak.It helps making a system more secure by improving on the vulnerabilities and helps keeping the system well patched.
What do you dislike about the product?
Once it so happened that while scanning the system , the tool got stuck and it just froze. I was not able to do anything. But it just happened once , so i will not count that , overall its one of the best tool to work with.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
mostly vulnarability scanning of the systems .
Nessus Vulnerability Scanner
What do you like best about the product?
The Nessus vulnerability scanner from Tenable offers excellent vulnerability and compliance scanning coverage. The API offers good flexibility for developing custom solutions. Coupled with other Tenable products, such as Tenable.io, SecurityCenter, or NessusManager provides centralized management and reporting.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nessus on its own is a solid product but does require some customization of the settings to run more efficiently.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Nessus is one of the tools that we use within our vulnerability management program. It has helped us ensure patches are being deployed in a timely fashion, find systems vulnerable to specific issues, and ensure system builds are compliant with our security baselines. We also leverage the built-in web application checks to monitor our websites (in addition to running dynamic scans with a purpose-built web vulnerability scanner).
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The Nessus scanner by itself is a great tool and has a large number of plugins and vulnerability coverage. The basic reporting is acceptable but is much more robust and customizable when coupled with other products. Tenable support has dramatically decreased over the past several years. I frequently find myself having to do half their job of testing the product. More often than not, we have to solve the problems on our own (and usually through some sort of custom development/workaround).
