Its interface has a fairly simple and intuitive design to use at all times, which allows me to streamline in a much simpler and faster way a large number of tasks in a much more practical, agile and safe way, the fact that we allows us to detect in a much simpler and more efficient way the existing vulnerabilities in our company is something that has been very helpful to us to improve any failure or error that may occur during the development of our activities, its interface has a minimalist design but at the same time quite powerful to do everything in a very practical way, its ease of installation and configuration is also something that is of great help when making the initial configurations of the application in a much faster and more practical way.
What do you dislike about the product?
My main complaint is with their customer service team, they take too long to respond to any questions or problems that may arise, which I consider something quite problematic.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It has been very useful for me to detect existing faults in my company in a much faster, simpler and more efficient way, which has been of great help to me in achieving a great improvement in a large number of processes within my company, without mention that it facilitates the improvement of coexistence with my employees, since having the company well monitored and controlled, in the sense of avoiding as far as possible the existence of failures that are mainly those that can generate some type of inconvenience or trigger serious communication problems this translates into a better coexistence for everyone and a better performance within the office.

Does it's job without drama.
What do you like best about the product?
Set and forget, just read the reports and edit systems to scan as needed! The reports are easily readable and all the plugins let you customize scans VERY well.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing really. Scans are slow, but that's expected.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Keeping our IT staff on their toes about basic security. Rollouts of new gear are scanned immediately to find basic things like forgotten password changes and open ports.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Be prepared to spend a lot of time initially documenting all the systems you want to scan, and then setting up the relevant tests. But once done, it's a cake walk to change things later.
Great vulnerability scanner
What do you like best about the product?
Nessus' licensing models work great for companies of all sizes, with plans/packages that don't limit you to numbers of IPs if you don't need all the bells and whistles
What do you dislike about the product?
Their more advanced products such as distributed scanning greatly increase the cost and make them proibitive for medium sized businesses to integrate them into their environments, creating a gap.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have used Nessus to find some vulnerabilities in Windows servers that required more than just patch installation.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're just getting started out, Nessus is a great step. If you are mid market, it really will depend on the layout of your organization and end goals.
Ease of use and great support
What do you like best about the product?
The software is customizable, does everything we need for our compliance. The support has been fantastic. Always get helpful and knowledgeable assistance.
What do you dislike about the product?
Occasionally have to reset the Nessus services but it is an easy fix.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are required by the Federal Government to scan certain computers. We use the Nessus software to do this.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
None
Nessus Professional Offline Use
What do you like best about the product?
Quick to implement patching updates and new product updates in baseline files. Tenable audit files are useful, along with step by step guides on how to implement the audit files. Tenable seems to keep up with the changes in the DISA STIGs, CIS baselines, etc. Also, the user community also fills in some of the slack on getting things changed as well.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes remote scanning takes a long time, but may have to do with the bandwidth provided. Every year the offline activation is required, which isn't bad. Some other programs require a more frequent check-in than yearly, so that is helpful for offline systems.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Verify patches, verify products correctly updated. Find out we need patches vendor didn't tell us about. Find out that some of the old software we have on the machines is causing us to be in a less secure environment than initially thought. The scanning updates after patch Tuesday are quick, which helps to have before/after scans on the Microsoft patching. Most other product updates for non-Microsoft products (Adobe, Java, etc.) also seem to be quick to make it in the plugin database.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Offline activation/update easier than most other competitors. Quick to adapt patching baselines, new vulnerabilities and product updates. One of the most complete solutions for scanning, patching and vulnerability scanning. Audit files are also useful for CIS, DISA STIGs, etc. Online help seems to be a good place to get help not only from Tenable employees but other users experiencing similar issues to you as well. Opening a support ticket gets an answer quickly as well. The company understands offline use, which is nice for those of us without internet connectivity 24/7.

What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use, to configure, you can trust in the vuln they found, they are where it say in any host, server or webservice you have scaned. Other thing is the number os assets you can scan is more than other where you have to pay per host number, in this you can pay for license and you can scan any number of host in your own network.
What do you dislike about the product?
Is not easy to analize data from the reports and some times is teddious to find the plugin name or number to find the error or for example, to know if the credentials for the current scan is ok or no
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
To know the host in the network (host discover), scan for vulnerabilities in the assets and the web services we have. All the information we need is given by Nessus.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are looking for the best vulnerability scanner for host, you have to try Nessus. If you want to know about credentials, blackbox scans, are part of red team or security at home or little bussines you can do a scan to know the vulnerabilities that have you infraestructure (all of them)
