Poorna's Nessus Review
What do you like best about the product?
Nessus is one of the best tools in vulnerability assessment technology. It is effortless and very effective in identifying any CVEs present in the servers. Practically effective in identifying the lack of security patches.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are some issues with Nessus in the report-making process, and mostly FP cases pop up, which must be lowered.
Sometimes asset grouping is formidable. And the pricing may not suit everyone.
Apart from these, it has no significant flaws.

Great tool for testing vulnerabilities
What do you like best about the product?
I really like the way it look for vulnerabilities into the iT environment and helps for the need of quick vulnerability assessment in the different devices and assets.
What do you dislike about the product?
It have no good integration with iot assets, and sometimes it gives a lot of information about vulnerabilities not explotables, so there is not useful information.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It solves the need for running manual scans and test between the different IT assets during vulnerability assessment and penetration testing, and we only focus in results given by Nessus.
Nessus Professional makes my job easier
What do you like best about the product?
Nessus takes the guesswork out of finding out what needs to be addressed and helps you determine what's most critical in your environment. The process of finding vulnerabilities is simple and intuitive and it constantly keeps up with newly discovered vulnerabilities that arise and helps you detect them in your environment.
What do you dislike about the product?
There isn't anything about Nessus Professional that I don't like. In three years of using Nessus Professional, we've not had any issues with the scan results in our environment.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Before we used Nessus Professional, we used several tools to determine potential vulnerabilities in our environment. However, they had inconsistent reporting and didn't keep up with newly released vulnerabilities. Now we have one tool that can scan for vulnerabilities and even check that we're compliant with best practices.
Great too for vulnerability discovering
What do you like best about the product?
It is a great tool for discovering vulnerabilities and grouping them for IT infrastructure and getting all information about it, remediations and way for explotation.
What do you dislike about the product?
It would be great if we could get all vulnerabilities that have a real impact on all the infrastructure, it would be very helpful to reduce false positive results.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps us to reduce the time we take by working on pen testing and vulnerability assessments. We take great advantage of it because it is work we often do manually

The asset group information is hard to manage and download. This makes it harder to manage the zones or tags of assets.
The analysis feature will only provide us with one scan information after the scan is selected. Cannot go back to the cumulative update.
