Leading web as well as mob applications weakness finding platform.

  • August 20, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
One of the techniques used most widely for evaluating weakness. Scanning web applications, DB servers, network devices such as switches , routers, firewalls, and proxy servers is very efficient, which allows each system to operate one only for scanning vulnerabilities and incomplete patch reports.I can build scheduled credential jobs and have my hosts added. I know the work always runs and always produces the results that are needed. That helps me keep up with our organizational risks
What do you dislike about the product?
I haven't noticed any dissatisfaction until now but the important thing is the cost where the cost is higher.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I think even for a beginner, Nessus 's quick to know. I use Nessus to find and evaluate vulnerabilities. It includes a comprehensive report and mitigation suggestions. My work with the Nessus was quick, and it delivers accurate results most of the time.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend this software to all Professionals in Information Security.

What do you like best about the product?
Computer upgrades are really simple and easy, likely due to the extreme shortage of problems or inconvenience my favorite software upgrade to. Most organizations use that in my experience and it's a standard technique no matter wherever I work. I feel it's a valid method with a wealth of useful information that can be used to improve the security environment of an organisation.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nessus price is just too much given different market software. Nessus is susceptible to the development of false positives and therefore the testers need to put more effort and time into this.But I haven't noticed any dislike until now but the main thing is it's the cost. Where this product is to be purchased for all users.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Nessus to check public and external and public measurements of risk and system compliance reports.

What do you like best about the product?
being new to this kind of software was overwhelming at first but after a few days i got used to tailoring reports so i could see what i wanted
What do you dislike about the product?
the technical phrasing of the reports/policies was very overwhelming to a new user, but after going through the videos and guides on the community support portal i was soon able to manage reports
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
a lot of out of date software and patches to current solutions, able to produce reports to customers to show the extent of work needed to bring them up to a tolerable level
Recommendations to others considering the product:
do not try to generate an advanced report without tailoring single server reports first the amount of data that comes back is overwhelming and you can begin to get lost

What do you like best about the product?
The reporting tools are very customizable, making it easy to share vulnerability data with other users in the organization.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are limited options for other application owners across departments to manage their own scan results. This results in some additional manual work by the Nessus administrator.

Nessus helps us keep up with potential vulnerabilities on our servers, as well as our cloud-hosted applications. It also ranks problems by severity which helps us prioritize work.

Nessus is the ultimate time saver for vulnerability scanning

  • November 28, 2019
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
As a penetration tester there were times that I had to perform operating system compliance reviews manually. To do that you have to go through all the documented details in benchmarks to get a crystal clear idea before even executing the given command. Reading issue details on over 500+ pages (most of the time) repetitively is a waste of time . Because of the tool 'Nessus' we can just pass the parameters and actually can let our focus on other operations. Nessus will do the job without any trouble. Incontrovertibly, nessus is the number one performer in discovering assets,sensitive data /malware detection,OS/database/mobile apps/web apps/network devices/tablets/hypervisors vulnerability scanning.It's worth to mention the amazing report creation feature of nessus which helped me to identify the critical levels of the vulnerabilities easily.
What do you dislike about the product?
Price of nessus is too much considering the tools in the same domain. Nessus is susceptible to produce false positives and because of that the testers need to put more effort and time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Nessus training and certification is a useful way to get familiar with nessus interface and functionalities for a beginner.
