The tool results are descriptive and sufficient for understanding the Vulnerabilities, the reference and mitigation recommendations provided for each Vulnerabilities is really helpful in solving bigger issues. We can perform vulnerability assessment on almost any network device or different server platforms like windows, linux l, unix or Mac based systems.

The tool configuration is a bit of experts game, once you are familiar with each configuration for different devices it'll be adaptable but sometimes we get huge road blocks to complete a credentialed checks especially in configuring servers of windows based system, also the reports produce some false positive Vulnerabilities that is one troublesome thing.

Backbone tool for vulnerability assessment and Penetration testing.
What do you like best about the product?
When it comes to performing vulnerability assessment of the systems, Nessus is the widely used tool because of this tools ability to scan and provide comprehensive results of the scan. Nessus has large number of features for performing vulnerability assessment which very few scanner has. To start with, Nessus has ability to schedule the scan any given time. The main feature of this scanner is that it has set of policy templates to perform different types of scans. It has predefined policies to perform the scans like host discovery scan, malware scan, web application test, mobile devices scan to mention a few but I think the standout policy should be the internal PCI network scan which allows to perform the scan and report the vulnerabilities in accordance with PCI DSS compliance standard. Nessus allows to perform credential based scans which is a big plus.
What do you dislike about the product?
The thing I dislike is that Nessus only allows to export the scan results into readable HTML, CSV and Nessus file format which I think could be improved by adding ability to support file formats like PDF.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Nessus has helped me greatly to effectively perform vulnerability assessment. Also, I have found the scan results, vulnerability information of Nessus scans very helpful while performing penetrating testing of different systems.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would really recommend this application to anyone who wants to perform vulnerability assessment because if this applications abilities to perform scans and effectiveness of the scan results.
