The absolute standard for vulnerability scanning
What do you like best about the product?
The scanner is very easy to use, easy to deploy, easy to set up and easy to license. When using the scanner properly (placed in the subnet you need to scan and scanning with credentials), it does its job just fine. Verification with compliance standards is also very easy too, and comes preloaded with the most used standards and even those which are less used widely (such as federal government ones).
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the remediation information aren't accurate enough for a customer to execute. I understand this is just a scanner and not a remediation tool, but the remediation information over the vulnerabilities found definitely could be better.
Some vulnerabilities need to actually be tested for being true and since this is just a vulnerability scanning tool and not an exploitation tool, you might have some false positives around. I know Tenable does a great effort to make sure the tool is fully accurate, but sometimes it can't be done their way.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Standard compliance is easily manageable through this scanner. So, when it's an industry requirement to be compliant, this scanner helps greatly. Depending on your network setup and industry, you can be fully compliant in weeks, not months as with other tools.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Read the documentation when using the tool. Most of the support questions we get as reseller are mostly topics that are well documented, both in Tenable Support Portal and Tenable University. Every customer has access to Tenable University (from Tenable Support Portal) and I recommend to your employees to go through all of it before attempting to use the tool or ask for support. I also recommend that you understand this is not an exploitation and/or remediation tool, seen from that standpoint, the tool is very useful!
